Drawn from TurnerÕs 53 year career of writing, theater and film, 10 scripts are prepared for groups to read aloud or even perform for an audience. Printed script size, 8.5_11, spiral bound for easy handling in reading sessions, these short pieces are re-tellings of incidents and parables from the Gospels. Not paraphrases of scripture, they are set mostly in the current era, filling in details natural to the situations of the ancient texts. ÒBorn Blind,Ó from John 9, actually walks with Blind Ben to the Pool of Siloam and back. ÒCampaign Supper,Ó from gospel accounts of The Last Supper, is set as a company dinner. ÒWhereÕs My Sting?Ó from scriptures about overcoming death, is a comedy sketch about Death discovering Jesus has escaped! Presented in readerÕs theater style integrating narrative with dialogue, each script includes background on characters, scripture references, and the approximate time length. It is an excellent tool to experience deeper meanings of these ancient stories.
