Twelve of Jesus' parables are depicted in a humorous, offbeat way in scripts that were originally developed for presentation by a high school-age youth group. While the plays are especially appropriate for adolescents, they also maintain a focus on the biblical text and will appeal to all ages. Pastors and youth leaders will discover that these simple, easy-to-perform sketches can be an excellent tool for reaching out to unchurched people and getting them excited about the gospel of Jesus Christ. Everyone who participates in (or witnesses a performance) of these sketches will enjoy them while learning about God in the process. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSome of the amusing titles include: \u003cbr\u003e Who Is My Neighbor? or The Parable of the Good Geek (The Good Samaritan) \u003cbr\u003e Wilfred Wonderful's Weightless Wooden Widget Works (The Unforgiving Servant) \u003cbr\u003e Hey...
