006 Acts of Witness - Stages of Worship Chap. 1

Lanin D. Thomasma — Tue, 14 Feb 2017 19:18:42 +0000

Back in 1996, while I was still working with Covenant Players, CP's director, Charles M. Tanner, asked me to write a book about the type of drama that we do. Chuck had been urged by a number of people to write an autobiography, and though he never did, I think he was enthused about having a book about his plays. This week, I thought you'd be interested in hearing the first chapter of the book, titled "Acts of Witness - Stages of Worship".

If you're interested in reading the rest of the book, it's available on paper and as a Kindle version on Amazon, as well as at http://www.lulu.com/spotlight/lanin
