About the author

Patsy is a bookish woman who loves words and has a penchant for dark chocolate sorbet. Since spelling bees in grade school, childhood Scrabble games, right up to her current addiction with Words with Friends she has been known to spell it out, to say it like it is.

Much to her surprise Patsy has written a stack of books that continues to light her passion for the printed page. And nothing pleases her more than to share her faith through laughter and tears and to encourage others to flourish.

A former agoraphobic Patsy never imagined the expansive plans God had in mind for her. She just wanted to make it to her neighborhood grocery store and safely home again. Instead, for the past 35 years she has been traipsing throughout the U.S. and Canada, interspersed with trips to Israel and Africa and she has even spoken at the Pentagon for the Flag Officers Bible Study. Patsy has spoken to millions of women (and men) offering spiritual and emotional hope.

Patsy has written books in several genres including devotional, fiction, children’s, and gift offerings. She is one of the founding speakers at Women of Faith and trains people for the platform.

Patsy is the author of over 35 books best-selling books and currently lives in Franklin TN.

Continuing my "inspirational" reading during Lent. This was a happy book, with the four female "Women of Faith" authors telling stories about life, relating their mishaps and learning experiences to encounters we face on the road...no outlets, yield, under construction, etc. Maybe it was because this book was published in 1997, but I found it very boring, and I thought I heard these stories before. It would have been much better to see these women in person, but I don't know if they appear in public to talk to audiences anymore. The idea for this book was cute, I liked the scripture passages, but I would have liked to read more about the authors and their lives, and better stories.

A book filled with great stories from 4 of the Women of Faith "women/speakers". The stories will bring you smiles, laughter, and joy, and a few tears. Some of them will make you look at life differently and some will just make you laugh.

It has enlightened me so much about womanhood. Their wisdom was undoubtedly their crowning glory and it is awesome that they were to share it with other women who needs a light to their path as they go along their journey in life.
