OUTSIDE, THE SKY IS BLUE is a beautifully drawn, heart-breaking yet also joyful memoir of growing up, of living with mental ill health and cancer, and of working out what it means to be in a family, what it means to lose a family - and what's left when you're the last one left.When Christina Patterson's brother Tom died very suddenly, she faced the harrowing task of clearing out his house. Tom had always been the one who held on to the family treasures and memories, but now Christina had to sift through box after box of letters, papers, photos and belongings, not just of Tom's, but of their parents and their older sister, Caroline.Those boxes, albums and papers tell the story of a young couple who decide, when their children are small, to swap a glamorous diplomatic life in Rome for a housing estate in Surrey. But their new suburban life, of trips to National Trust houses, fizzy drinks over TV costume drama and walks at Wisley Gardens, is increasingly disrupted by Caroline's, erratic behaviour. As she is diagnosed with schizophrenia, Tom seeks solace in sport and Christina in a youth club where she hopes to meet boys, but finds God.'Patterson is a passionate, funny woman who refuses simply to struggle on. She believes in living. And throwing parties. And friendship' Sunday Times

You noticed it too? The light steadily dimming all around you and the push against your faith becoming increasingly aggressive. You question how you are to follow Jesus in a world where you are constantly surrounded by temptation. You wonder how you are to live on fire for God in the face of countless obstacles ready to extinguish your fire. If there is anyone best equipped to address these concerns, it is the prophet Elijah. He steps into Israelite history at a time when God's people are struggling with immoral leadership, widespread idol worship, and the greatest spiritual gap between themselves and God. Despite the dark and seemingly impossible circumstances, Elijah remains passionately bold about fulfilling God's purpose and mission. In Daughters of Fire, Christian author and speaker Christina Patterson takes readers on a journey through the life of Elijah. She shows women how to confidently and faithfully follow Jesus Christ in the face of growing temptation and in a world of spiritual decline. Now is not the time to allow our fire for God to sizzle out. Now is the time to conquer our fears, stand firm in our faith, and bravely accept our calling as God’s Daughters of Fire. Christina Patterson is an author and speaker with a passion to encourage women in the love of Jesus Christ and the truth of God’s Word. She holds her masters in Theology from Liberty University and is the founder and CEO of Beloved Women, Inc., a non-profit providing resources and community for women to truly know who they are in Christ: His Beloved. She is married to her college sweetheart and is a stay-at-home mom to their two young children.

Our feelings and emotions are indicators that let us know the condition of our heart. Many people, however, run from their feelings and would rather hide their emotions failing to realize God gives us feelings and even He feels. Like anything, God has given us it can be used out of context, out of order, and out of line with what He desires for our lives and all this leads to is confusion and frustration. However, if we can learn how to use what God has given us, like our emotions, in line with His will and with the guidance of the Holy Spirit, we can truly experience power, freedom, and emotional stability. So, how do we clearly hear the signals our heart is sending us so we can respond in a healthy way that brings growth and maturity? Well, that's what this entire series is all about. If there is a book in the Bible that is going to guide and help us on this journey, it is the book of Psalms. The Psalms uses poetry and songs to express a vast range of emotions and feelings from anger to joy, anxiety to desire, guilt to gratefulness, and despair to insecurity. We’re going to discuss all these emotions and more by studying the Psalms to become the emotionally healthy women God is calling us to be. If you're tired of being pushed around by your feelings, bullied by your emotions, and confused by your heart; then this is the Bible study journal for you.

Have you ever felt trapped or stuck in life? Have you ever felt held back and restrained from experiencing the freedom in Christ we read about in the Bible?

The days of being held hostage by your past, what others think of you, and striving to work for God’s approval are over. You are already free. Now it’s time to live like it.

Joy often seems unattainable in times of uncertainty and difficulty. The Bible however, promises believers a lasting joy from the Lord greater than our circumstances. If you desire to experience joy even in the face of challenges, Christina Patterson welcomes you to her 12 session Bible Study “Relentless Joy.” The Apostle Paul wrote the book of Philippians at a time of considerable uncertainty. He was in prison and not sure if he would live or die. However, Paul did not write to the Philippians to complain about his situation. He wrote to gush over how joyful he was in Christ, as well as to convey his hope for the Philippians to experience this same joy. For every reason Paul had to be discouraged, he relentlessly found more reasons to be joyful. Through this study of Philippians you will learn: - The difference between lasting joy and temporary happiness- How to fight for your joy - How to make the joy of the Lord your strength - What habits lead to experiencing joy Each session includes the following: key insights from your reading, a viewer guide, study questions, journal prompt, and more. You’ll also find articles titled “A Closer Look” throughout this study to gain a deeper understanding of how to experience the joy of the Lord in your everyday life. This Bible Study is designed to accompany the "Relentless Joy" video Bible Study series; however, it may also be completed as a standalone study. Find the strength to fight for your joy today with the “Relentless Joy” Bible study.

In "Worth More Than Rubies," author and Bible teacher Christina Patterson takes a deeper look into the life of the Proverbs 31 woman to discover the 7 virtues of a woman after God's own heart.

Worth More Than Rubies: A Grace-filled Bible Study on the 7 Virtues of the Proverbs 31 Woman

We plan, as the old proverb says, and God laughs. But most of us don't find it all that funny when things go wrong. Most of us want love, a nice home, good work, and happy children. Many of us grew up with parents who made these things look relatively easy and assumed we would get them, too. So what do you do if you don't? What do you do when you feel you've messed it all up and your friends seem to be doing just fine? For Christina Patterson, it was her job as a journalist that kept her going through the ups and downs of life. And then she lost that, too. Dreaming of revenge and irritated by self-help books, she decided to do the kind of interviews she had never done before. The resulting conversations are surprising, touching and often funny. There's Ken, the first person to be publicly fired from a FTSE-100 board. There's Winston, who fell through a ceiling onto a purple coffin. There's Louise, whose baby was seriously ill, but who still worried about being fat. And through it all, there's Christina, eating far too many crisps as she tries to pick up the pieces of her life. The Art of Not Falling Apart is a joyous, moving, and sometimes shockingly honest celebration of life as an adventure, one where you ditch your expectations, raise a glass, and prepare for a rocky ride.
