What if the men and women of the Bible could step off the page and speak directly to modern readers? In this compelling collection of eighteen sermon-dramas, Reverend Harry L. Strong gives readers that opportunity. Drawing on decades of ministry, Strong brings iconic biblical figures to life--from King David and Judas Iscariot to the shepherds of Bethlehem--through vivid first-person monologues and dialogues that make ancient Scripture startlingly personal. Strong's guiding conviction is both simple and profound: God is not just a spectator in worship. God is eager to step up on the stage and engage people where they are today. God is still speaking, and these biblical voices from yesterday are God's vehicles. These ancient men and women wrestled with temptation, guilt, forgiveness, and faithfulness as much as modern people do. Spanning the Hebrew Scriptures, Advent and Christmas, and the seasons of Lent and Easter, each script is paired with questions for reflection and discussion. This format makes the book ideal for personal devotion, small groups, or congregational study.
