Drama for the Soul

Drama for the Soul is a compilation of plays by playwright Lisa Johnson and is the author's first published work. As the director of her church's drama ministry, her talents are greatly utilized. This collection consists of plays and vignettes on the subjects of the resurrection, Christmas, and African-American pioneers. Some of the sketches also serve as teaching tools or infomercials for different areas of ministry.

The collection is well-suited for churches desiring to include drama in their services, school productions, or just as a great read. Mrs. Johnson writes about real-life situations that everyone can relate to, whether it is traumatic, humorous, or simply a life lesson. In her play, A Resurrected Life, a young woman experiences devastating trauma that causes her to withdraw from society and shut down. But her Aunt Callie, a feisty, devout Christian and fervent prayer warrior, refuses to let her niece go out like that. The events that take place will draw you in and send you on an emotional roller coaster! Several of the plays make use of videos as a part of the storytelling but can also be adapted for the stage. Drama for the Soul is truly that, as it inspires and gives hope to all who read it!
