Each of these sermon-length dramas celebrates the resurrection from an unusual perspective. Suitable for use at Easter Sunrise, Easter Festival worship, or on a series of Sundays during the Easter Season, Gurden Henley's dramas involve 5-8 characters each.
"Sunrise Surprise" tells the traditional Easter morning story through the eyes and mouths of Mary Magdalene, John, Peter, and Jesus.
"A Zealot's Greatest Battle" deals With the resurrection from the perspective of a Jewish freedom-fighter of Jesus' generation who saw his hopes for freedom going down the drain on Good Friday.
"When Old Nick Met Nicodemus" tells the resurrection story from the perspective of contemporary American society. An unchurched outsider is profoundly moved by the rehearsal of an Easter drama and is caught in the story.
Gurden F. Henley is a Community Church pastor from Riverside, California.
