Saturday Showdown
“Blow the trumpet in Zion; sound the alarm on my holy hill. Let all who live in the land tremble, for the day of the LORD is coming. It is close at hand—“ Joel 2:1 (NIV) The hand selected soldiers at Kingdom Builders Worship Center have been on the battlefield for over four years. Everything they have been through has trained them for this final showdown. Most have been tried and tested and come out like pure gold. Others still have a process to endure to reach their spiritual identity and authority. When the true nature of the war is revealed, their thinking must shift. The angels sent to protect them and the demons sent to destroy them face off on land, sea and air. What awaits the warriors as they literally come face-to-face with evil is nothing compared to what will be revealed as they follow the path of obedience into the depths of darkness. Their faith is tested in ways none of them could conceive. Hard choices need to be made in order to survive the madness. Temptation for vengeance is almost tangible. They have to be watchful and not give in to their understandable emotions. The tumultuous path before them gets hard to navigate. Just when they finally think they can wrap their minds around what’s going on, each showdown reveals a deeper level of warfare. The soldiers have God’s unlimited power backing them, but it can only be activated by their obedience. In this season, obeying the voice of the Lord has never been harder or more crucial to the lives that hang in the balance. This war has been nearly 30 years in the making. As all the pieces connect more secrets must be revealed. The weight of those devastating secrets can only be carried by the grace of God. The Body of Christ is being served notice. All of creation is waiting for the manifestations of the sons of God. It’s time to be different. It’s time to soldier up!

Saturday Showdown
It was very real in them spiritual streets. If nothing else, I realize that spiritual warfare is real and there's so much evil present in this world. But one thing remains and that is God is sovereign.
The many twists and turns in this book kept me on edge. It was an awesome read with plenty of life lessons.

Saturday Showdown
The things that are discussed in this book will blow your mind. I love that this book exposes the fact that we can have a man running for office who is after God’s own heart, but even the so called conservative will find fault with him or a find a way to slander his name. As I have always said, it has nothing to do with being a Democratic or Republican. But, that is only a little slice of heaven you get with this book. It has so many golden nuggets/life lessons that prompted me to pray in the early morning hours. And there were many moments when I wanted to cry. My favorite line in the book is, "It’s never about you, but the souls attached to the assignment".
Saturday Showdown is a great example of what Christian fiction is suppose to be like for the reader. You should be ministered too and entertained. You should not walk away from the story and be the same as when you walked into it. Melinda Michelle, definitely shared what was on God's heart and if you are brave enough to read this book you will see that His plan for your life MAGNIFICENT!
I feel like these characters are my family and I'm going to miss them. This author has some of the best male characters that I have ever seen in a book and the females characters are just as good.
Finally, I will say that I pray for all who read this book that they will be blessed, that your spiritual eyes will be open, that you realize God's ways are perfect and pure, that He is calling you out of darkness into greatness. I pray that Jehovah Jireh, Jehovah Shalom, Jehovah Nissi, Jehovah Rapha, Jehovah M'Kaddesh, Jehovah Shammah, Jehovah Tsidkenu and Jehovah Sabaoth will be your friend. In the wonderful name of Jesus be blessed.

Whew! This was an epic finish to an outstanding series. I do feel some kind of way now that it's over because well...it's over. Melinda Michelle did an excellent job of closing the gaps and still delivered a few plot twists and revelations in the process.
Saturday Showdown was a definite spiritual awakening. It's apparent that God's hand was in every aspect of this book and even the entire series. There is a message for every reader. Simply open your heart to receive what lies in the pages of this book just for you.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! Why was this book sooooo good!!! The series is not even done so I still can't even give any spoilers. I can say that the characters that are still being talked about still got a lot going on but I would like to the next book have more about the twins in it. That's just me I want to see what they have been up to lol. I feel like the book does travel through the story smoothly and some things are still predictable but she still is pulling crazy twist and turns out of her pocket. I can wait to read the next boo!!!!

This story has many twists turns truths and triumphs. It will keep you emotionally connected from beginning to end.Her characters could literally walk off the page they feel that real. There is much happening in her books but she keeps each individual character moving along effortlessly. The struggle with good and evil is a real one that is displayed throughout her stories. She awakens the soul in all her readers. Her stories are truly inspirational.

What a revelation!
This series is the real deal. I am receiving so much from this series. I look forward to the message God has for me in each book. If I didn’t know who God was, I would say its strange how God is speaking to me through these books, but because I know He works in mysterious ways, Im going in saying “Okay God, what do you want me to learn from this one”.
Our God is Awesome!
Thanks again Melinda for being a willing vessel.

My new fave!
I thought Tumultuous Tuesday was my favorite, but I'm adding this one too.
Generational curses breaking. Fathers praying. Husbands in preparation. The will of the Father will come forth no matter what!
So many golden nuggets!
