I would like to thank God
. He is so amazing and I am so grateful to know Him and serve Him.  Without Him NONE of this would be possible.  Not many people get to live out their purpose, so I’m amazed that every day I wake up I get to do this!

 

I want to thank my editor Yanela Gordonfor her selfless kindness in assisting and directing me.  Thank you for believing in me and my purpose.  You make my words the best version of themselves
.
Consider this our “paper texting” and I will need to order one roll to go. It’s just a TURKEYYY!!!! LOLOLOLOL ~ Love ya girl!

 

I want to thank my parents for taking the time to read this in its infancy.  I appreciate the love and support you both continuously give me without hesitation.  I’m so blessed to be able to call you mom and dad.

 

I want to thank my P.I.C.
(
) Ileana Guerrero for listening to the “audio version” of this novel all night (LOL).  You’ve been an awesome support system and in case I don’t say it enough, THANK YOU for being my TRUE friend and lending help and support whenever I need it.  Nothing you do for me goes unnoticed. Love you Ma Sylvia!!!

 

I would like to thank my cousin Howard for his endless support and help as my unofficial PR rep.  You’re awesome and I love you for continuously cheering me on.

 

I gotta give a shout out to the best church ever, Family Worship and Praise Center, and our Pastor Cyrus Flanagan.  This church has changed my life and knowing you Rev has changed my perspective on what it means to truly be a Christian. 

 

To my Tally fam who motivate me all the time to keep doing what I’m doing.  Joshua, Maleah, Sharvis and Chantiel, I love you guys to no end and I’m so excited about what we are building together.  We need a name for our dynasty people and a theme song!  Forever and always #teamsundaydinner

 

Elder Sharvis Whitted for keeping me biblically in line, I appreciate you big bro. Michelle Griffin for once again making my book debut a masterfully crafted event, I love you girl.  Crystal Baker, you’re awesome! Ericka, you rock!!! Angela, I’m grateful for you honey!

 

To all my family, friends and church members, thank you for your endless support and encouragement.  I want to thank my readers for continuing to support me and I promise Monday Madness is on the way!

 

 

 

Dedication

 

 

I thought by the time this book came out I would have a permanent special someone in my life
to dedicate it to.  That was not the case but then I realized that I already had someone
permanent
and
special
in my life, the Almighty God.  He is the Creator of all things and the love of my life.  On this risky walk of faith I have seen God’s love for me in ways that I could never imagine.  He has seen the very worst of me and yet He still loves me.  He brings out the best of me and allows me to share it with the world in a very amazing way. 

He cares about every little detail of my life and is always there when I need Him.  It’s just like any other relationship.  There’s fussing and crying…well I fuss and I cry and He remains the same, faithful. 
He patiently waits out my tantrums and then when I’m quiet, He speaks.  Sometimes He just waits for me to remember who He is and all that He’s done.  He has been everything to me.  In my darkest hour when there is no one around He’s
always
there, He’s
always
listening and He’s
always
working it all out for my good.  I can honestly say there isn’t a human being on this planet who can love me like that. 

Like Paul
I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, can separate me from the love of my God.  But the best thing…the very best thing is that the love He has isn’t just for me.  It’s for you too if you are willing to accept His son Jesus as your personal Lord and Savior.  It is the
ultimate
love affair and one you will never regret!

 

 

What Readers Are Saying
about “Surviving Sunday”

 

 

Once I started reading, I couldn't put it down.

 

All I can say is awesome book.

 

WOW....A MUST READ.

 

From the beginning I was hooked. Misplaced my book and I was going crazy...

 

This book can definitely be a tool to win lost souls in a new way. Genius author! :)

 

This book had me laughing, crying, pissed off and on the edge of my seat!

 

I look forward to hearing more from this young lady. #devotedfan!

 

I really enjoyed the approach Melinda took to help the reader understand the spiritual battle that rages around us. Her goal to do so reminds me of CS Lewis' Screwtape Letters…

 

It's not predictable and it is everything you want in a good read and more. I'm looking forward to the series!

 

It's been a long time since a book kept my attention. I almost felt this book was about my life in some strange way.

 

Surviving Sunday is filled with suspense, humor, and the Holy Ghost. The story line allows you to become involved with the characters as if it was you.

 

The book was not only entertainment, but as a sinner who was already considering giving their life to Christ, and you having the gift of painting the picture of the work of angels vs. demons in this book has given me a hunger to want to serve and give my life to Christ. I read the "ABC's" of salvation at the end of your book and I have given my life to Christ.
