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.

- I lived for along time with a debilitating chronic illness and have experienced long time narcissistic, emotional abuse and I would recommend this book to others.

I am someone who had gone through my share (so to speak) of heartbreak and pain in my life. I found this book to be helpful. Even if much of it I already knew, it was still good to be reminded of how to heal our hearts with God's help. All in all I really liked this book and plan to reread it in the future. I do not agree with all the things the author says but I think it's important to keep in mind the time a author comes from and also that their experiences in life and knowledge may be different than the reader's. We all have things that we are wrong or right about. When it comes to the main content of the book I found Patsy's thoughts and advice on healing to be on point. I think anyone could gain something from reading this book and I will be recommending it to others.

I was looking for a spiritually uplifting book and this filled the bill. The author relates her own life experiences and how she used her faith to get through some tough times. She uses scripture from The Book of Nehemiah to draw parallels between the challenges faced in biblical times and those that we face in current times.
