(Sacred Folio). As a writer for such big names and companies as Disney, Nickelodeon, and Max Lucado, Troy Schmidt takes his talent and marries it with his sensibilities as a pastor in his first Lillenas Drama book. The result is church-tested scripts that are smart, funny and thoughtful. Put simply, this collection works. With titles such as, "A Support Group You'll Never See," and topics like managing time, witnessing, a Christian's thought-life, motivation, and identity, you'll find scripts for a variety of settings. A bonus "Thoughts" section follows each script for use in small group discussions and sermon subject starters. Most scripts run 4 to 8 minutes.
