Selah asked Melanie Dickerson:

Hi, Ms. Melanie Dickerson! Your books are absolutely captivating and I thank you for your clever plots and writings. They have constantly encouraged me to grow closer to God throughout my own situations! I wonder how do you find the verses that you put in your books? (Like how do you select them?)

Melanie Dickerson Thank you so much, Selah! That is the best compliment I could ever get, knowing they encouraged you to grow closer to God! Thank you!
The verses usually just come to me. I've been reading the Bible regularly since I was 13--which was quite a lot of years ago! And the verses are honestly "hidden in my heart." But if I feel like I need a verse addressing my characters' situation and no verse is coming to me, I will use BibleGateway.com and do a search for a key word. That helps me find the right verse sometimes.
God bless!
