Book excerpt: Fills a Need: For biblically based, thoroughly researched plays for a general audience. Is Fun: Laugh as members of the body of Christ sing and dance their way into your church. See others--and maybe yourself!--in the kindness of Heart, the gossip of Ear, the pride of Head, and the independence of Eye. Honors Women: Lets Mary tell Joseph of the angel Gabriel's visit. Recognizes Elizabeth's importance; she tells Luke 1 from her perspective. Is Funny: Human beings get in fixes and messes. Watch how God--with gentleness, humor, and tough love--delivers his people time and again. Encourages Participation: Suitable for actors ages nine to ninety-nine! Fosters Dialogue: Each play ends with Questions for Discussion. Shows Theology in the Making: Do theology the Godly way--with boots on the ground! Consider this evangelism model: The disciples have just seen the risen Lord Jesus ascend into heaven and can't wait to tell all Jerusalem! Invites Imagination: The characters in Proverbs gather in the marketplace and tell Simple Youth, a first-year university student, about their lifestyles. Which will he follow? Promotes This Concept: We all play our lives on stage to an audience of One: God.
