Inventing A Testimony (Chapter 18 Of Jesus Girls: True Tales Of Growing Up Female And Evangelical), Melanie Springer Mock
Faculty Publications - Department of English
Excerpt: "Several months into my first year of college, I realized there was an optional worship service for students every Sunday evening and that anyone who wanted to be considered a Christian by her peers had better show up.

God’S Gift Of Motherhood Comes In Different Ways, Melanie Springer Mock
Faculty Publications - Department of English
Excerpt: "Seven years ago this May, my husband and I received an email asking if we were interested in adopting a boy, named Do Minh Quan, from Vietnam.
