Life’s messes aren’t something we plan—they find us. But what if those very moments of heartbreak, confusion, or exhaustion were the places where God wanted to meet us most? That’s the question at the heart of You Have to Know: What I’ve Lived. What He’s Shown. What You Need to Know, the deeply personal and faith-filled new release from Melanie Cox.
Blending raw honesty with spiritual depth, Cox offers twenty devotional reflections drawn straight from her lived experiences—moments where grace collided with chaos, and God’s love rewrote the ending. Each story feels like a journal entry written to a friend, guiding readers to pause, reflect, and rediscover the presence of God in everyday life.
What sets You Have to Know apart is its warmth and authenticity. Rather than preaching, Cox invites. With guided prayers, heart check prompts, and gentle wisdom, she leads readers through emotional healing, renewed identity, and a deeper awareness of the Holy Spirit’s guidance.
Supported by a heartfelt foreword from Matthias Walther, the book speaks especially to women juggling the weight of motherhood, work, and inner battles—those who long for clarity and peace but aren’t sure where to start.
You Have to Know doesn’t promise an easy path. Instead, it offers a real one—anchored in faith, honesty, and hope. Each page whispers a reminder that we’re never too lost, too broken, or too late for grace.
Because sometimes, the place where everything falls apart is exactly where God begins to build us back up.
