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.
This book gets a 5-star rating from me as it was a timely reminder that the Lord, my God, in whom I put my trust is amazing (:
Received it as a gift decades ago, when my best buddy died, but only reading it now, after my father has gone Home. The thoughts on (certain specific days) were spot on, and so meaningful. The Lord truly reaches out to meet us at our point of need, even going so far as to set things up 20 years ahead of time, before we even have a clue we'd have (that particular need).
Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil; for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me. Psalm 23:4
Didn't find it very helpful spiritually. It was really just stories about the contributers lives connected to a bible verse. Gave it to my Mother-In-Law who loves this conference.
I've dutifully read this book every night since the very beginning of the year. It has been absolutely wonderful! Every night I see how God has worked in my life. Awesome devotional! :)
I loved this devotional and have always been looking for something similiar - but have not found it yet. It became part of my daily routine that I truly loved and enjoyed.
