Freedom to Fly

From Persecution to Prosperity, a Life Story of Salvation

For anyone who has ever wondered whether they’re too far gone.

A story of salvation

Hope for anyone struggling with addiction and its effects.

Freedom to Fly gives hope to anyone struggling with addiction and its effects in their lives. Melody is courageously transparent about the abuse and trauma that led to a life of addiction. Her story does not end in pain, but transforms through healing and freedom. She hopes others will encounter an abundant life of freedom as well.

A study guide with spiritual principles is included in her book, a resource for group settings or individual growth. Melody also shares thirty-three of her devotions, each one birthed from real-life experiences.

May the God of hope, love, and freedom speak to you in a special way as you read through the pages of Freedom to Fly.

From the dedication

This book is dedicated to those who want to become more than just another statistic. To those who want more for their families than disappointment and turmoil. To those who want an opportunity to change what drug addiction has done to their lives. We pray this book can provide hope and encouragement, that it may give you the courage and strength to rise above, and live your best life. You deserve to live your life with great respect, fulfillment, and joy.

In her words

Hear Melody share the heart behind the book.

The heart of the book

From an interview with Melody.

She came in with an energy and a spirit that just lifted the entire house. Smiling face, friendly eyes, and just down to earth. It was clear she was living in a place of happiness that no one else but her could put there, but also the kind no one else was going to take from her either. Too genuine to be pulled down.

Melody could have easily been killed on multiple occasions, or spent a lifetime in the prison system. Instead, something else happened. What we heard, you are about to read.

Rick Suhm, from “The Heart of the Book,” an interview with Melody Crosby Hale
