I found Nine Changed Lives to be an intriguing series of Easter season monologues. Each met me on a personal level and pointed me to Christ. Their unique format enables a great deal of flexibility for their presentation. Rev. Dennis H. Greenwald Upper Midwest Area Representative for the Conservative Congregational Christian Conference Nine brief monologues for Lent are spoken by: • Simon of Cyrene (for Ash Wednesday) • Tamar of Jerusalem • Zimri the Pharisee • King Herod • Pilate and Claudia • Thomas • The Centurion • Mary Magdalene (for Easter sunrise) This book also includes a youth one-act for Palm Sunday and a Maundy Thursday meditation. Directions to make a cross and whip for use in two monologues are part of the book. Cynthia S. Baker is a free-lance writer with 25 years experience of writing, casting, and rehearsing church dramas.
