Mustard Seeds, Modern Parables is a five year collection of short stories. Each story is inspired by the day to day life of an ordinary woman. Melissa covers everything from collapsed sinks to trying to handle a four pound Chihuahua bent on destroying the pet groomers. Her stories, often humorous and always thought provoking, endeavor to show God in the details and point to Christ and how best we can serve Him with our allotted talents and abilities. It is the hope of the writer that these stories nurture a closer walk with Jesus and grow a resilient faith in a turbulent world.
