Life Lessons: In Stories, Songs, Poems, Plays (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781975656904)

Every experience of life holds potential for learning spiritual and moral lessons. This book looks at four areas of creative expression - stories, songs, poems, and plays - and discovers Life Lessons with spiritual and moral significance. As a Christian minister, retired university professor, lover of music, community theater actor and director, writer and editor, the author says he finds theological relevance in these four arts areas. Some contain strong, direct expressions of Christian faith, others are less direct, and still others have no obvious connection with God or things religious. Even so, he has learned from each story, song, poem, and play and offers a Life Lesson from each. Stories include The Shack and The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. Songs include Eric Clapton's "Tears in Heaven" and "We Shall Overcome." Poems include works by William Cullen Bryant, John Milton, John Keats, and Rudyard Kipling. Theater offerings include Broadway musicals, Fiddler on the Roof and Cabaret, and straight plays, Inherit the Wind and Death of a Salesman.
