  1. In the book the author talks about the power of a mustard seed? Does faith play an important role in your life when you’re trying to overcome an obstacle? If you had walked in Pattie’s shoes, where would you have found your courage and strength to carry on?
  2. Pattie uses holy water and does energy work on her son, Casey. What lengths would you have gone to save your child?
