FINDING JOY BEYOND REJECTION

A Little Faith Lift

Do you ever feel like you just don’t measure up? There’s always someone smarter, richer, prettier, skinnier, funnier, holier, or (you fill in the blank)? Too much of my life—oh, let’s say, give or take decades—was spent figuring out that there is life beyond rejection. This book is written for those who doubt their worth, thanks to memories of betrayal by others who used them as their personal punching bag.

For these hurting individuals, walking into a room full of strangers produces enough sweat to frizz their hair, and if asked to spearhead the church social, they hyperventilate. I get it. After a group of my high school seniors asked me to lead them in a Bible study, the message became clear: If my students could recognize from Whom their value came and not from what others thought of them, their lives forever would be changed. The message is true for everyone. 

So, if you desire to move past the pain that has left you joyless or insecure, if you are ready to take risks and refuse to give anyone or anything the power to make you less than God desires, if you seek to know your immeasurable value (and perhaps even laugh in the process), A Little Faith Lift is for you.

Public Speaking

If you are looking for a certified speaker to address your church, school, or community on the evils of sex-trafficking, Patty is available to speak on that topic.  When her son Adam quit major league baseball to enter the fight against this epidemic, Patty became interested in doing her part to teach others about the subtle ways in which victims are lured into this heinous industry.  References are available.
