C. S. Fitzpatrick is a writer of Christian fiction and founder of “Jesus, Pizzas, and Friends,” a ministry to students in her fifth-grade classes. She believes that churches need to address the fear and isolation children are experiencing in today’s chaotic and depressing world by teaching about the “blessed hope,” truths about the end times, and making sure they are rapture-ready.

Fitzpatrick has been married to her husband for 47 years. He patiently encourages both the dining-room-table-homeschooling of their grandchildren as well as her frequent ventures into imaginary worlds. Discover more at csfitzpatrick.com.
