Books
Oversight of the entire book process from the initial proposal to developmental editing to marketing for an astute astronomer (Hugh Ross), a brilliant biochemist (Fazale Rana), and a profound philosopher/theologian (Kenneth Samples) gave Patti enough confidence to tackle any book project. In the Red Zone: A Game Plan for How to Share Your Faith, co-written with Kent Tucker, was recognized by “Outreach” magazine as one of the top evangelism resources of 2013. Patti also edited God of the Big Bang: How Modern Science Affirms the Creator by Leslie Wickman, PhD.
