She performed on the ministries' national television specials, daily 30-minute programs, and did countless live ministry events. Throughout her early career, she also recorded nearly 20 best-selling vocal albums and did hundreds of live performances, literally all over the world.
But after 10 ½ years of marriage to Oral's son and heir-apparent protégé, Richard Roberts, Patti and Richard went through a grueling divorce. The divorce was more than the death of a marriage; it was also the death of her decade in ministry with OREA, and her career. Her life began a dizzying freefall from the glittering heights of religious show-biz fame to the alleys of obscurity where former Christian celebrities find themselves, after tumbling off the stage. Patti's journey back from these dark places was not a straight line, but today her life has come full circle. She tells the tale of her journey and the things she learned along the way in these memoirs, The Language of Scars. Her story is one of redemption, resilience, and restoration that offers wisdom and hope for all.view less
