Silence & Survival
Book 1Â
A Memoir by Dr. Melba
​
Some women do not leave loudly.
They survive faithfully.
​
For years, survival felt responsible. Waiting felt virtuous. Obedience felt safe. But when endurance becomes identity, something inside begins to disappear.
​
In Silence & Survival, Dr. Melba offers a restrained and deeply reflective account of what it means to endure quietly inside relationships and systems that require you to shrink, explain, and carry more than your share.
​
From childhood silencing to adult obedience, from warnings in the night to the sacred distinction between Chronos and Kairos, this memoir traces the slow unraveling of survival as a lifestyle—and the faith required to walk away.
​
You are not weak.
You are not late.
You are not alone.
​
Survival was never the end of your story.
From Survival to Stillness
From Survival to Stillness: A 30-Day Devotional for Life After Silence and Survival
This devotional is a Scripture-centered journey for those who have lived through seasons that required them to survive and are ready to discover what comes next.
Â
Through daily Scripture, devotional reflections, stillness prompts, and Scripture-prayed prayers, the journey moves through four intentional stages: Coming, Staying, Being Kept; Learning to Listen Again; Releasing What Is No Longer Yours to Carry; and Living Forward.
Â
From Survival to Stillness does not ask readers to erase what they have endured or rush their healing. It invites them to recognize that survival was a season—not their final destination—and to trust the God who kept them through it to continue leading them forward.
Â
Silence may have surrounded you.
Survival may have shaped you.
But faith has been with you all along.
Â
And faith will continue to carry you forward.

As You Go...Prayers for Your College Journey
College brings new places, new people, new decisions, and new responsibilities. In the middle of it all, one thing remains the same: God goes with you.
​
As You Go...: Prayers for Your College Journey was created for college students who want to stay connected to God but may not always know what to say when they pray.
​
With simple, conversational, Scripture-rooted prayers, this book gives students words for the real moments of college life—before an exam, when anxiety takes over, when they need direction, when friendships become complicated, when they feel alone, when they face pressure to compromise, and when they simply want to thank God for His goodness.
These prayers aren't meant to replace a student's own conversations with God. They're a place to begin—helping prayer become more natural, personal, and part of everyday life.
​
Whether you're a parent sending your child to college, a family member looking for a meaningful graduation gift, or a student preparing for a new season, As You Go... is a reminder that leaving home doesn't mean leaving God's presence.
You don't need perfect words. You simply need a place to begin.
​
As you go, take your prayers with you—and remember that God is already there.
