LIFEPRINT THE POWER OF ONE YES is the story of a young girl bursting with childhood dreams, however as life often does, it unleashed storms upon Melissa that blindsided her, which left her beat down and broken. Though she fought valiantly to keep the dream alive, it was eventually replaced with life's realities. That flame that burned so brightly in Melissa's heart was unceremoniously extinguished. Eventually Melissa had a child young, whom she placed for adoption to a good Christian home. Years later she was reunited with her birth son and a documentary about this part of her life called, "I LIVED on Parker Avenue," was produced. This led to Alex and Stephen Kendrick and Kirk Cameron producing the feature film about these events called, "Lifemark," in which Melissa made a couple of appearances. Being on set of Lifemark relit a fire in Melissa, she thought was just a smoldering dream long forgotten. Melissa is a beautiful woman on the in and the outside, with a take no prisoner's attitude. The word NO is a word Melissa will not accept. This attitude has led to her becoming an actress, speaker and author. Melissa Coles is the Woman, the Encourager, the Warrior, the Daughter, the Mother, the Wife and the Fighter. When you think of Melissa, you have to think of the famous quote from Rocky Balboa, "It ain't about how hard you hit. It's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward; how much you can take and keep moving forward. That is Melissa Coles.
