Church Dramas: Volume 4

About the Book

Church Dramas: Volume 4 packs 30 comedies and dramas into a sharp, tightly-written compilation of scripts suitable for the Sunday service. Volume 4 depicts a world stumbling in the aftermath of September 11th, where a dedicated father questions his faith during a routine luggage search by an overzealous airline employee ("Search and Rescue"), to an afterlife orientation that plummets a newcomer into horrors unimagined in a terrifying depiction of Hell ("Descending"). On a lighter note, we meet Joan and her frustrating, dysfunctional Christian family as she walks through the basics of what it means to be a Christian ("Joan Smith, Follower of Jesus"), and unveil the latest Hollywood "D" List celebrity: Jonah's Great Fish ("The Whale We Were"). Church Dramas: Volume 4 crackles with conflict, resulting in surprising confessions, unfortunate choices, and a "Bad Hair Day" for Samson, who inadvertently stands up his stylist in a salon mix-up. Read them for fun or for church, then discuss amongst yourselves.
