Author, teacher and entrepreneur, Melody Wolfe, is certainly creating a buzz amongst her fans this year! Amid the reports of her first novel and latest release of "The Godmother" possibly becoming a major motion picture epic, she insists that her first priority is to remain true to her faith and continue writing Bible-based teaching books.
"I love the inspiration that the Scriptures give me," Wolfe admits candidly. "It seems that every day I am awakened to a new level of awareness of my spirituality, and I enjoy conveying the truth and purity of the Scriptures from my perspective to my readers."
When asked where she got the idea for her latest work, she openly admits that it came rather recently after "a life-changing encounter with the Lord."
"I look for ways to acknowledge and validate my faith to my friends, but at times it seems that I am up against a brick wall. There's so many different views and traditions in the world, and I find that people are at a loss when faced with the decision of which 'truth' they will accept. Obviously, I have stated repeatedly what my position is; however, it is not enough to state facts - people want evidence. The only evidence that I can offer at this point is the evidence of a changed life."
This, Wolfe's latest endeavor, is a book about the freedom of what she identifies as "satisfying love," a concept she feels that she has only every experienced from "the Lord," but acknowledges that it is altogether possible to experience in a marriage, the focus of the book.
"I find it sad that whenever I speak of marriage, the vast majority of my friends scoff at the notion," Wolfe says somberly. "My life as a wife was the happiest time of my life, except for recently, as I have finally found what I have been searching for my whole life in the arms of my Savior. That said, though, I feel that people should re-examine their faith in love and romance, and certainly the joy found in the covenant of marriage."
Wolfe admits that she still grieves the loss of her late husband who died suddenly over 12 years ago, after 3 years of married life together.
"He was an incredible husband, father and friend and, other that Christ Jesus, I've yet to see his equal. Although we had very little, we had the whole world. He would be so proud of his family, and I am sure that he is looking down and cheering me and the children on."
"The Cry of His Heart: The Joy of Satisfying Love" will be available in February of next year wherever fine books are sold.
