“It is a stunning glimpse into the soul of this remarkable young woman. ..What is so striking about [her] prayers is the easy familiarity with which she addresses God….That’s just the feeling you get when you read Melissa’s prayers. They are a part of an ongoing, intimate chat between a loving God and God’s devoted daughter… In addition to Melissa’s prayers there are spaces left for your own prayers, your own thoughts, to be added to hers. You see, the point of the book is not to introduce the reader to Melissa’s devotional life. Rather, the point of the book is to introduce the reader to the God to whom Melissa was so devoted.”
Rev. Martin Copenhaver, Sermon at Wellesley Congregational Church, Wellesley, MA, Sept 26, 2004
“I spent yesterday afternoon with Melissa's journal, which had been sent to me by a friend. I was powerfully moved, by your words and hers. What lies between those covers is wondrous and awesome. Can't really say what I mean yet. Just wanted you to know that I'm changing all ready :-)”
“I finished “Melissa’s Prayer Journal” last night. What a brave, loving and giving young woman she was! You must be very proud of her. On of the thoughts that stays with me in particular is: “Don’t just count your days. Make your days count.”
"I am facing surgery, and although am not really a praying person, will gather strength from Melissa’s Journal.”
“I want a faith just like Melissa’s,” Statement from a High School Student.
..."It is unbelievable for one to have so much faith. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to read it."
“ When my sons saw my copy [of Melissa’s Prayer Journal], they both asked for a copy of their own.” [sons age
17 and 20]
“My daughter came home from college and saw it displayed at church, and asked me to get her a copy.”
“A friend shared Melissa's Prayer Journal with me on my birthday. Little did I know the impact it was going to have on me when I brought it home. Melissa's testimony touched my heart:”
"I just want you to know how much I appreciate being able to share in Melissa's walk. .. I plan to share this touching story of a beautiful young lady’s walk of faith and trust. It warms my heart. Thank you.”
“Thank you so much for sharing Melissa’s journal. I shall treasure it.”
“We have not met – and probably we won’t have the opportunity, but I want to thank you for following your heart and sharing your daughter Melissa’s story with the rest of the world – I just happened upon her journal on Sunday when I stopped into a shop in Wellesley Center – She was a gift from God …… Please know this note is sent with lots of prayers and a special thank you – My faith is failing these days, and Melissa’s journal uplifted me – I am grateful to you for this gift.”
“True comfort!”
“Your daughter’s journal is amazing, it truly shows her strength, courage & love for God as she battled cancer…. I can’t wait to share our extra copies with family, friends, the church & oncology patients I care for. Your daughters’ inspiration is sure to make an impact on many people’s lives. Thanks for sharing her heart.”
