Joining the Dots: Ten Readings for Advent

About this ebook
These Gospel adaptations started as a join-the-dots exercise. I wanted to write something that included gritted teeth, morning sickness, and what Mary was thinking about when she wasn’t singing the Magnificat. I would love you to use my stories or sketches for your home group, church, youth camp, conference or fund-raiser. They are written to be read aloud but are intended to be flexible.

These Gospel stories started as a join-the-dots exercise, before I road-tested them in my local church and at youth camps. Friends have used them in their own churches and home groups as aids to reflection and to re-awaken familiar Bible passages. I have had interest from Christian publishers but have come to the conclusion that I would rather self-publish online for now. I am very keen on the written word in book-form, bur know that if I want to find something in a hurry, I look on the internet. So hopefully you will find it quick and easy to use my stories.I would love you to use my stories or sketches for your home group, church, youth camp, conference or fund-raiser. They are written to be read aloud but are intended to be flexible. Please feel free to sit in front of your print-out with a sharp pencil and a touch of imagination.So far, I have collections for both Advent and Easter Week. No piece is longer than a page and can be used in isolation or together. If using together it usually works to have a variety of voices.I also have several more isolated stories based on various incidents in the Old and New Testaments. Commissions are very welcome – anything I am commissioned to write will then become available online.
