Book Synopsis

2024 Kingdom Indie Author Award 3rd Place in the Teen & Young Adult category

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.

Review Quotes

I met Patty LaRoche through her boys, which makes me love her and this book even more. She unashamedly, and often hilariously, strips her life down to the bare bones to reveal the deep truths that God has taught her along the way. Through laughter and tears you will be reminded how much you are loved by God, just the way we are. I can't think of anything better than that!
- Korie Robertson, Author of Duck Dynasty, Strong and Kind

Patty is one of those people you'd jump to go anywhere with because she is such incredible fun on the journey. Smart-funny and full of "I-can't-believe-you-actually-did-that" exploits, always topped with large dollops of self-deprecating humor. As she takes you into your overflowing archives of regret or that upstairs closet of secret shame, she opens up her own archives and shines the light of God's truth and love in there (and in yours) so that our failures and rejections lose their ability to paralyze and defeat us. Patty deeply cares about God and people and has a gift for connecting the two with Biblical truth about forgiveness, grace, and what it really means to be a new creation, loved by God more than we can imagine.
-- Lael Arrington, Author & Speaker

If you like to laugh out loud and be inspired at the same time, read this book. Patty LaRoche's written words are hilariously funny, gut-level honest, heart-wrenchingly transparent, and filled with practical takeaways and truths from God's Word that will change your life for the better. You'll find this book entertaining, enriching, and uplifting. A Little Faith Lift is the perfect gift for any occasion.
