Jesus spoke in parables for a reason; stories capture the imagination and the heart. In her new book, Step Inside…Where Stories Come to Life, author Melea J. Brock pens the stories she’s told for years (and new ones!) connecting readers of all ages to God’s restoring power and each one’s unique place in His story. From thought-provoking parables like The King Who Waits and A Song for the Darkness, to light-hearted tales such as The Worriers and The Giants Without Manners, Melea Brock’s skill and imagination brings the words on the page to life. Melea’s mission is that of restoring story by partnering with God in His magnificent out-loud, on purpose storytelling. In line with her love for the spoken word, Step Inside includes a CD with musically scored versions of her written stories.

Step Inside Includes:

• A colorful cover with gate-fold flaps, deckle edged playful illustrations and graphics
• Twelve stories—six time honored stories, six brand new stories
• “Coffee Moments”—small chapters in between the stories where Melea shares about the power of storytelling in our everyday life.
• A musically scored CD of Melea six newest stories
