I am so thankful I chose Melanie Martin to review my documents. She is a master of the written word who used her skills to bring clarity and conciseness to my documents, which increased the level of communication with my audience. One reviewer commented that my documents stood out 'head and shoulders above the competition.' This is due in large part to the excellence of Melanie’s work. Not only is she highly skilled, she was a joy to have as a partner, as all encounters were professional, friendly, and timely. I will seek her services again.

Melanie is a highly trained technical editor. She works on many levels, ranging from structure to grammar. She asks very relevant questions and is a great wordsmith if re-writing is needed.

Klay Rogers, Author

I hired Melanie to edit content for an executive recruiting firm's presentation. She did an excellent job of distilling verbose client-supplied copy into a concise and easy-to-read presentation. We presented a compelling case for doing business with our client in less than 15 pages (replacing the previous 25-page presentation). The finished product was much more professional in appearance and impact thanks to Melanie's excellent writing and editing skills.

Streams of Tears: The Heartache of Divorce

Posted on 2000-01-21 by melanie martin in Publications | Comments Off on Streams of Tears: The Heartache of Divorce

Everyone knows someone who has been affected by divorce. In America today, more than half of all first marriages end in divorce. And, the divorce rate is even higher with second and third marriages. These statistics compare to those of ancient Rome in the days of its decadence!

Since the beginning of time, science and theology have claimed that God instituted marriage and the family. It follows then that God knows what is best for mankind.

Even though God designed marriage and the family, the deception of Satan and the sinfulness of man weigh heavily against these institutions. Divorce is making shambles of our homes. Broken marriages leave families divided. The tragedy of broken lives, hearts, and dreams, undoubtedly, results in streams of tears.

Dr. Martin presents a compelling view of the devastation of divorce, through statistics and facts, as well as shares from his own experience as a therapist of 30 years. He takes a close look at how divorce greatly affects our society in general, natural families, stepfamilies, and children. He reveals how, in spite of our sinful nature and mistakes, there is hope and forgiveness after divorce.
