Pieter & Melinda's Books
Restoring the Generations Endorsement: "Melinda shares a powerful message of hope for marriages that have experienced deep pain, betrayal, and broken trust. What makes this book especially impactful is that Melinda does not write from theory—she writes from testimony. She vulnerably shares her journey of forgiveness, healing, and restoration in a way that will inspire couples to believe that God can redeem even the most difficult situations. I have had the privilege of watching firsthand the fruit of Melinda’s choice to walk in forgiveness and restoration. Her story demonstrates a profound Kingdom truth: when we partner with God’s grace and choose forgiveness, what once seemed impossible can become a testimony of redemption."
-Wendy Backlund, Co-Founder of Igniting Hope Ministries
"Silently Broken, Loudly Restored is a catalyst for your restoration by helping to bring clarity to places of emotional pain that have held you back."
- Francesco Sideli, Pastor, Bethel Church
