I Will Speak Using Stories is a collection of everyday, down home,
stories of people and events. Some of the stories will make you
weep, smile, cry, or laugh. Some stories will cause the reader to
reminisce. Others will remember an old relative or friend. Each
story ends with Scripture. The point of the story is to show that
Scripture is universal and pertinent. There are probing questions
that will help the reader meditate. The devotions have a prayer to
give the day a fresh start. The book is great resource to use for a
daily quiet time.
In this collection of 21 essays, Michael Jenkins takes a humorously
philosophical approach to the everyday aspects of life. Whether
comparing himself to Rocky Balboa in order to pass an English class
or asking a one-thumbed woman how she cuts her steak, "Man-Child"
tells of the experiences and philosophies of an immature man
reluctantly searching for an identity in the adult world. These
experiences could be used as a lesson on what not to do in any
given situation, but only if you don't want a story to tell.
Monologues by Gregory L. Hudson is a compilation of thirty-two
monologues from some of his most profound stage plays, films and
television pilots. The literary works that these monologues were
chosen from are socially relevant, provocative and reflects the
good and bad aspects of society. Each monologue is different from
the next and provides a unique challenge to actors of all levels.
The characters are as varied as the colors in a rainbow and can be
exceptionally witty like the homeless but optimistic character Lee
Willie in Vagabond Love; or outrageously funny and likeable
character Bojack in No Harm, No Foul; to the down right mean female
correction officer Hurt character who doesn't feel that women
garner respect in Bronx House; or the respected and deceptive
racist bank manager Mr. Wallis whose main objective is to maintain
the status quo of segregation in the deep south in A Piece Of My
Dream. Other fun characters includes, the slick, smooth talking
pastor in A Piece of My Dream (the Movie); the grimy lawyer Mr.
Crooks in The Plaintiff; the lovable homeless character Abigail in
Vagabond Love; the wacky, over the top judge who fancys himself as
the sheriff, mayor, judge and everything else in No Harm, No Foul,
to the zany, flaming gay choreographer in the T.V. pilot Buck Wild
and more. The monologues are different, rich in unique dialogue and
range from one to five minutes in length.
"Clutching an armload of baseball mitts and billiard balls, I ran
after my brood trying to pick up items that were blocking the
aisles. I added a pair of tennis shoes, several baseball caps, the
camping silverware and a handful of sweat bands to my cache.
Meanwhile, the wiffle balls bounced off my legs, and I shouted
formy "wrecking crew" to stop. Finally, they ran into a display and
I pounced on them. Unfortunately, I dropped most of my huge armload
but I had them.
Suddenly, I became aware of the spectacle we had created. All
around, there were people quietly staring at us. Everywhere I
looked, I saw devastation created by my children. Had the store
sustained a 7.5 earthquake, the damage could not have been worse. I
honestly didn't know what to do."
