Christmas Day at Kirkby Cottage

Christmas Day at Kirkby Cottage

Written by Anthony Trollope in the 1800s, this love story, or as we would call today, a romantic comedy, has the tone and feel of Jane Austin’s “Pride & Prejudice”. The Christmas theme provides not only a charming background of holly and ivy and seasonal cheer, but also forms the heart of the story. Enjoy the thrill of young love as you listen to Christmas Day at Kirkby Cottage.

The Gift of the Magi

The Gift of the Magi

An offering from Focus on the Family for its Radio Theatre, this short story by O. Henry tells of two struggling newlyweds who each sell the one thing that they hold most dear in order to purchase the other a Christmas gift.  Brought to stage by the Family Life Performing Arts Department a few years ago, this story of sacrificial love is indeed a classic.

Nine Months in Nazareth

Nine Months in Nazareth

PlayPlay

Enjoy this “radio present” from the folks at Focus on the Family as they creatively retell the story of the very first Christmas. Most people are probably familiar with details given in Luke 2, but there may be a few parts of that story that haven’t been considered before. Nine Months in Nazareth is told by a shepherd named Eliazer. He gives insightful looks at the people involved with that first Christmas and the issues that they faced in the months leading up to the birth of the baby Jesus.

Candle in the Window

Candle in the Window

This is a production from Lamplighter Theater. Candle in the Window is the story of Tully who wants more than anything to make his teacher smile. But no one knows that Miss Ravenstow is trying to escape the pain from her past. No one that is, except for Todd the mailman, who holds in his hands something far more valuable than a special delivery. This Christmas the entire family can be inspired with a story that makes love real, that brings hope home that points us all to the Light of the World.

He refuses invitations from his brother. He pushes his daughter away because she wants to marry someone who he says is “unable to give her the life that money can buy!” But the Lord reaches Robert through a little girl, a lamb, a clever butler, and some letters.

History Live – The Messiah Report

History Live – The Messiah Report

The Middle East.  Political unrest… an oppressive government… heavy taxation… violent radical factions seeking the government’s overthrow… and   freedom threatened by a foreign government because of a religious culture that refuses to bow to outside pressure to conform. It’s a picture that could be cut from today’s news clippings of the Middle East.   But this is a picture more than 2000 years old… the picture of Israel at the birth of its Messiah, Yeshua bar Joseph… the birth of Jesus, the Christ.  History Live – The Messiah Report brings the reality of late breaking news to the troubled, exciting and revolutionary time of birth of the Son of God.  We join real people, in a real place and time as they watch prophecy unfold before their eyes.  The past becomes the present as Family Life presents History Live – The Messiah Report as part of the Family Hour

All Is Well

All Is Well

This is a classic work by Frank Peretti.
