Call Me Vivian is a true story about a woman caught in adultery. On the fast track in Corporate America, Scheller became involved in an illicit love affair with her boss that newspapers reported as “sordid.” Not everyone’s extramarital affair makes front page news or results in a civil lawsuit and criminal charges that land a person in federal prison, but hers did.</p><p style="color:#fff;">From a financially secure future to losing everything except her positive attitude, sense of humor, and faith, Scheller found herself sleeping on the concrete floor in a prison cell she describes as “one step above hell.” It was in this place that God did His best work!</p><p style="color:#fff;">This book exposes the truth about Scheller’s struggle with sexual sin, the battle for her heart, and the transforming power of God’s love. Through Scheller’s heartache, pain, and countless years of searching, you will gain a better understanding of God’s wonderful gifts of grace and forgiveness.</p><p style="color:#fff;">Call Me Vivian will prove all things are possible with God if you simply have the faith to believe.</p></div>” _made_with_builder=”true”][/text_block][/column][/row][/section]

"Call Me Vivian is an inspiring true story about facing your fears, being given a second chance, discovering your divine destiny, and finding true love."

I am forever blessed for having read <em>Call Me Vivian</em>. I felt the presence of God and his Holy Spirit speaking to me. I pray that God continues to use Katie Scheller to minister to his lost and wounded lambs.

I try to make it a habit to write to an author when he or she has written something that has reached me and attached to my soul. I am so thankful that Jesus, in his awesome orchestrating abilities, allowed Katie’s path and my path to converge by placing her book into my hands. All this time, I have been convinced that addiction was my problem. God has finally shown me that addiction is only a symptom of a much bigger issue: codependency. May the blessings of the Lord pursue and overtake you and may you be victorious in all that you set your hands to do.

I have distributed Call Me Vivian to our chapel and state libraries, and every unit has several copies as well. This book is not only touching inmates but also staff. I saw our chaplain walking on campus and carrying Call Me Vivian. He has since expressed what a wonderful book it is. Your continued generosity of sending so many books to our facility has blessed countless women and their families.

<em>Call Me Vivian</em> is such an uplifting, inspiring testimony for which I am grateful. My spiritual growth has been an uphill, vigorous one. This book has touched me and many others here at the institution. We need more inspiring women of Katie Scheller’s caliber.

I finished reading <em>Call Me Vivian</em>, and Katie Scheller’s journey was compelling. Her inspiring message surely transformed some of the women’s hearts to trust God for their future.

Katie Scheller presented <em>Call Me Vivian</em> and her story at the Milwaukee Correctional Institution for Women. She is a powerful source of inspiration and an undeniably spirit-filled woman. The gospel is weaved into Katie’s message, and her story shows that overcoming sin is possible by filling the void in your heart with the one and only true source of love: God.
