From the back-cover of Step Inside:

Melea's the best storyteller that I have ever heard and I've heard a few.  She tells the stories that count... not just stories that interest, but stories that incarnate something of the Truth of the Word into your life.

Throughout history life’s greatest lessons and truths have been passed on to others by great storytellers who touch both heart and mind. Within the covers of Step Inside one will find two treasures — truly superb stories told by a world-class storyteller! Go ahead; step inside to a dimension where stories come to life!

—Jim Tolle
Senior Pastor, The Church On The Way, Los Angeles, California

Melea Brock’s invitation for all of us to Step Inside the world of stories gives us not only a framework for meaning and hope, but a call to capture and tell our own story. Like Melea, maybe some of us will be able to bring new meaning and hope to those who are touched by our stories.

General Recommendations:

Pastor

“Everybody has a story.  The trick is to find out how our story fits into God's story.  This is the single most important thing we can do in our Christian journey.  Melea Brock, with the poignancy and reality of her "right-side-up" stories, helps me to do just that.”

John Wells, Worship Arts Pastor

“The first time I heard Melea tell a story I was so deeply moved that I made a silent vow to introduce her and her stories to as many people as I could.  As you read this, my confidence is that you’re just one story away from making a similar vow…enjoy!”

Pastor Jim Girdlestone, Centre Pointe Church, Santa Clarita, CA

Therapists:

"I've heard Melea tell many stories in various setting... she is a superb author and story teller... Melea's stories speak to the enjoyment of a child and the depth of an adult.”

Jim Eagleson, School Psychologist

“My family has attended and brought many others to Melea Brock’s concerts, purchased CD's and books to share deep spiritual truths with clients and directees, given stories as gifts to seminaries and church libraries. I have invited Melea to be a keynote presenter at our schools, Church and State Department of Mental Health conferences and workshops. Everyone, in each setting, has received her with the same warmth and awe as she speaks to the deep and universal truths of the human heart.”

Vicky Eagleson, Spiritual Director and Licensed Therapist

Teachers & Principals:

"As a teacher, I have enjoyed sharing Melea's books and audio with my students.  Her soothing, steady speech and diverse range of character voices are both entertaining and engaging.  Her stories provide an excellent opportunity to delve into the deeper meaning and dynamics of a good story."

Jill Spate, Middle School Teacher: Language/Grammar/Theatrical Arts

“Melea Brock is definitely the most gifted storyteller I’ve ever known.  Melea has an incredible talent to captivate children, engaging them in an imaginative process where her stories come to life.  Her school assemblies are loved by children, teachers, and adults alike.  She makes people excited to hear stories, which ignites the love of reading that we want to instill in our children.  Who said storytelling was a lost art form?”

Melea is very perceptive in her observations of everyday life.  She has a way of communicating practical and provocative truths to Christians of all ages through her stories.

Parents:

“I’m a nurse, a mother, and a friend who loves a good story.  That’s why I can highly recommend Melea’s stories.  Not only have we listened to her stories as a family, time and again, but we have given her stories as gifts to friends and patients alike.  They are like giving a cup of hope, a ray of sunshine, and a good laugh all in one package!” 

Renee Herman, Kansas City, MO

“Melea has this way of taking words and weaving God-honoring principles and moral values into timeless stories. She has a special gift of using her voice to create images and sounds that make her stories seen almost magical!”
