“Be of sober spirit, be on the alert. Your adversary, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.” 1 Peter 5:8 (NASB) …24 hours…1,440 minutes…86,400 seconds…Time is the adversary of every living thing. Tuesday, June 17th is a day that will be seared in the minds and hearts of these warriors until the day they take their last breath. Though they have many victories to celebrate, the war has not been won. The Kingdom of Darkness will not simply stand by and the let the Light ruin all their well-laid plans. Satan has asked for permission to go after one of the warriors and it has been granted. He does not plan to squander this opportunity so he enlists the help of the Seven Principalities of Hell. Not all of their trials come from the enemy, some things they must endure simply because it is God’s sovereign will. The Light and the Darkness are putting their players into position and each one is ready with strategic counteractions. Closets full of skeletons spill out like never before only to create a bigger web of lies, deceit and treachery. The warriors are left to conquer their fears, their pasts, their secrets, their emotions, and their logic. One thing they must realize is the power of choice. Nothing and no one in heaven, on earth, or under the earth will stand against their free will. Either they surrender to God’s will or they suffer the consequences of disobedience. Once the 11th hour and 59th minute arrive permanent lines will be drawn in the sand. The Saturday Showdown is coming whether they are ready or not. Will those that survive this day find the strength to stand in the midst of it all?
When you pick up a book by Melinda Michelle you should expect for your eyes to be opened, your heart to race, your emotions to rise and your faith to be taken up a notch. Purpose is her passion and with that passion she weaves a story about the matchless power of the Almighty God through the written word by the guidance of the Holy Spirit. It is her desire to awaken the Body of Christ to not only the power that they have, but the knowledge that they truly wrestle not against flesh and blood.

Michelle has an amazing imagination! Her series, “A Chronicle of Warfare” is based on each day of the week. She has spun a tale of spiritual warfare, webbed with emotional highs and lows. And woes! With real life scenarios, and riveting prayers, this series draws you in; and begs the question fact or fiction. You be the judge. Her series is written from the stance of spiritual obedience, and the consequence of not yielding to God’s will. Each book delves deeper and deeper into the battle between angels and demons, for the ultimate victory…the conquering of humanity’s souls! Her latest release, Finally Friday, reminiscent of Job, is a scenario where God, at the behest of Satan, removes His hedge. At this point, each character’s fate is determined by their own willingness to listen to God’s voice. Who will find and fulfill their purpose? It screams, “Who will be able to stand?” In an effort not to give anything away I will say, Finally Friday is an emotional rollercoaster ride of intrigue. It is filled with anointed healings, hardened hearts, secrets, unexpected transitions, and yes…Victories! If you have not yet checked out her series, you are missing a treat. As an author of spiritual warfare, myself; I highly recommend that you give this author’s creation a try. Trust me, you will be glad you did. I am looking forward to the explosive next book, in this series, “Saturday Showdown!” I have no doubt the week will culminate with a bang… Well done, Melinda Michelle! Well done, indeed!

I don't even know where to start. There were so many messages. How often do we put ourselves in situations we know we have no business being in? How many times do we ignore the warnings God gives us? Do we take God for granted and only seek Him when we are in need? When we say "Lord, let Your will be done" do we really mean it? Do we really accept God's will? Do we really trust Him with our lives? Finally Friday will open your eyes to God's sovereignty. It will have you examining your walk with God. Melinda Michelle is queen of plot twists and she did not disappoint with Finally Friday because in 24 hours lives were truly changed forever.
Melinda Michelle is a mastermind with her Chronicles of Warfare Series. Finally Friday has proven that she is a genius. Who knew that so much could happen in 24 hours? This book takes you on a spiritual roller coaster ride with so many twists and turns. The storyline and usage of scriptures are well thought out. I can't wait for Saturday Showdown to release. Prepare yourself to be emotionally attached to these characters and have a support group on stand by.
The 6th book of this series was a crazy ride. I can't believe all that happened in a 24 hour period. The take away from this book is the importance of constant holiness in the midst of war. These characters lives will never be the same. Many of them are rising up into their purpose, while others are battling to stay on God's intended course. Saturday is going to be EPIC with all the tea that was spilled in this book lol. Hold on to your seats!
WOW.....What a ride this was from the first page to the last page my heart was pounding, my prayers increased as I came to myself I was amazed to know this is not real, but real. The trials and test of this spiritual warfare is real I was reminded of my own spiritual warfare and from the Authors writing I was able to face my trials with more boldness knowing my angles was at war on my behalf. Great Job!!

I can honestly say when I saw this book was only 24 chapters I was beyond mad. Like how you going to give a couple pages Melinda?? Then when I started reading this is a jammed pack book that is bringing it all together before some bigger bombs drop. Kind of a reminder of some you may have forgotten about but how could you forget anybody!! This book is just as good as the other one and will have you screaming and laughing. I can't wait to get to the Showdown!!!!
I'm am thoroughly enjoying this series for several reasons. I love God and His word. I have never heard nor read anything this in-depth about spiritual warfare. I appreciate the teaching, the storyline and the invaluable gift that Melinda Michelle is eloquently teaching. It is a gift and message from God. I'm on to the next #7. BRAVO!
I am being challenged every time I read one of these books. Not only challenged, but convicted. This series bring to light things that I have pushed aside or ignored. I am starting to be more alert and more receptive. Thank you God! Melinda, you are a blessing to me.
I loved this book, I pray that it continues, I need to know more of Jessica and how Grey is faring. I never want the Story to End. Thank You Melinda Michelle. I understand their are more Chronicles to read, and I will 😊
Loved it. Once again Melinda Michelle has succeeded in giving us keen insight into the things of the sprit. On to the next and final book in this series!
Finally Friday was a showstopper. One thing I have learned about this author is that she is not just writing words on paper to make you feel good, she is challenging you to live the way God desires for you to live. This book is ministry.
We never consider or think about the consequences of our sins or the ripple effects it may have in our lives. But, Finally Friday shows you how the consequences of your sins can affect you and your bloodline. This story is a wake-up call, the saints of God need to realize that the weapons of warfare are not carnal.
I love the wisdom Sheridan drops on Stacy and the way Neil ministered to Jamal. This tells me that we need to be in tune to the Holy Spirit and allow Him to lead and guide us. Our friends need us to speak truth and life into them. Because the enemy of God is trying everything he can to kill and destroy.
Finally Friday says to me that we need to be on guard and get in the fight, stop being on the sideline. Sometimes it is not about you, but about the future generations. Strap up because it is time for warfare and the enemy already has his battle plan mapped out.
This is a must read, I strongly and highly recommend this book.
Another masterpiece from Melinda Michelle! I loved this fast paced heart pounding story that kept you on your toes the entire time. Her books are so spiritual in nature, that they remind us Christian's in the order our priorities should always remain. Placing God first and foremost in our lives will keep the rest of our lives in balance. Perfect? no, but following a purpose that we can not see. Her characters are put to the test over and over. We also see the other side of the coin and how evil can consume us. You will keep rooting for good over evil in every one of her books, and the outcome is never cut and dried she always throws in a few curveballs.
Whew! It's hard to process all this! Melinda Michelle will have you discombobulated! Many times we blame our issues on the devil or other people but it's an act of our decision-making. God doesn't override our will. However, he will circumvent things to help you make a better choice. This! 😳
