About the Book
On My Master's Table is a compilation of 50 poems, self-reflection and examination, and Bible study including Digging Deeper, Digging Deeper Still, and To the Bottom of the Well for one study concerning marriage. The reader will take a journey through many issues of life, including addictions, lusts of the flesh and eyes, the pride of life, power, sex, money, modern day Pharisees, spiritual warfare, the power of the Holy Spirit, Jesus Christ's work on the cross, redemption and discipleship, which is the primary reason this book was written. The journey will continue with the ultimate question we all face daily - whom are we going to serve? Will it be the Lord Jesus, also known as God, or will it be our original father Satan, the enemy of our souls? The reality is not everyone will serve Jesus and some poems reflect that choice. Choosing life is a daily decision and a personal choice that comes through the power of the cross and the willingness to follow Jesus Christ. In Habakkuk, we are told to write the vision and make it plain. One of the things that makes On My Master's Table unique is that the God-given vision for this book is included thereby making it a perfect choice for those who want to do missions, evangelism, and make disciples of Jesus Christ as the Lord commands us to do in the Great Commission. There are many gifts and talents that God has placed in us and On My Master's Table is a tool that can be used by God to stir up the gifts He placed in us, for His glory, to advance His Kingdom on earth as it is in Heaven. On My Master's Table is suitable for a variety of audiences and ages ranging from upper teens through seasoned adults. This book is an excellent choice for people who want to deepen their relationship with God, who may be curious about how to apply Bible to their lives and develop a biblical worldview, and who are looking for something different from many devotionals and Bible studies. If you desire to encounter the living God in a fresh way, On My Master's Table is for you.

Her writing will bless your soul and challenge you to live your utmost for God's highest glory. Melanie is a child of the KING who was born in Chattanooga, TN and currently resides in Baltimore, MD. She lives a life fully committed to the Word of GOD and is persuaded that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate her from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus her Lord. Toward that end, Melanie is passionate about seeing people healed, delivered, and set free, from the inside out. She has been walking strongly in her purpose since 2013, when she fully embraced God's plan for her part in His story.
