Melinda Viergever Inman is a prodigal with a passion to write. She authors fiction illustrating God's love for wounded people, making beauty of ashes. The most recent of her three novels is "No Longer Alone." It's based on a true story.

Melinda vigorously pursued the task of educating her six rambunctious and precocious children for twenty-eight years. A full and busy life crowded out serious writing. Writing then consisted of the many journals she kept. Now all her children are launched into adulthood, and she has embarked on a full-time writing career. Writing is her ministry.

After receiving an intensive theological education from her church, in 2005 her pastor invited her to write the church’s bible-study material. Since then, she has created these resources. Each year, they are published by her church. She will soon market her bible studies on her website, where she authors a bi-weekly inspirational blog – http://melindainman.com. Melinda shepherds women in bible study and prison ministry, and she engages in theological studies via Trinity Seminary. She has been published by David C. Cook and Christian Devotions.
