4.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful monolouges for worship!, May 16, 2000

By	Rebecca Griffin (Illinois) - See all my reviews

The monolouges in this book are perfect for use in worship service! Each character has about a page and a half of dialouge telling their story in language that is modern and to the point. Both old and new testament characters are represented. Great for begining or inexperienced performers!

2.0 out of 5 stars Best for lessons or small groups, May 26, 2001

By	Andrea Adams (Vancouver, WA USA) - See all my reviews

This is written more for reader's theater than in performance style. So unless you're very creative and can re-write, I would pass. This would be good for Sunday School lessons where you can go right to the appropriate verses to follow up. Not the best for just performance.

4.0 out of 5 stars Helpful Resource, March 16, 2001

By	Jean S. Tillman (Cherryville, NC United States) - See all my reviews

The book is split into 26 Old Testament and 26 New Testament monologues. There are parts for 18 women and 34 men. Each drama has Scriptural references, reflections, and suggested hymns to go along with it. Some characters don't seem to be fleshed out very well, but with a bit of personalization from the individual actor, they work well. For the most part, it's a great resource.
