Shakespeare knew it, and now churches across the country are catching on--drama has incredible power to teach, persuade, and influence. In Power Plays, Volumes 5 and 6, Neighbors and other playwrights raise issues and concerns confronting modern Christians in the worship context.

Amidst the everyday of our lives, God is at work. He's in every moment. Sometimes we aren't enough in the moment to realize the value of what is happening. Sometimes we are so stuck in a moment that we can't move on. Sometimes, in a moment, we very clearly get the message God is trying to send to us. This collection of scenes explores moments and responses in the lives of ordinary people-parents, spouses, people who are sick, the new person in church. Spark the minds in the audience you choose in worship, discussions, retreat settings and more with this insightful book. Includes the award-winning script 'No Grace for Bees.'
