From Shutter To Story's Devotional: A Family's Face

Creative Short Story writer, Melanie Schatzel, M.Ed. has started to reveal her long-awaited for faith-based From Shutter To Story's Devotional series. "From Shutter To Story's Devotional: A Family's Face" is a devotional inspired by a real-life interest and request from her oldest son, Trey. Staying true to her honest, insightful, and delicate approach to subjects often avoided, Melanie writes a devotional that shares of her past exploration of genes through a High School Biology teacher who whistled when he talked. But she goes further to expound on the idea that we are all divine children of a Heavenly Father with a unique purpose in this life to fulfill: she includes some of her beliefs as they are tied to genealogy and work for the dead. In this devotional, Melanie Schatzel exposes one of the dearest tasks of earthly life, and a belief of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in completing work in this life for the dead who have passed on. She shares intimate stories that share how she came to be interested in telling stories, and knowing the stories, of the living, by the living, and of the dead. In the conclusion is a beautiful poem that Melanie wrote for her son, Trey as he ponders who he is. To further understand some of the relationship between mother and son, readers are encouraged to explore, "From Shutter To Story's Devotional: A Divine Friendship" and other devotionals inspired by Melanie's oldest son, Trey.
