Patti's "painful memoir" is cited as a scholarly source on Roberts and his ministry."{{cite journal | jstor=2208663 | title=Review of "Oral Roberts: An American Life" | journal=The Journal of Southern History |date=February 1987 | first=William | last=Martin | doi=10.2307/2208663 | url=https://ir.uiowa.edu/annals-of-iowa/vol48/iss5/22 | url-access=subscription }}
