is now
available on DVD! See: STORE Great Women of the Bible Elizabeth, Mary
Magdalene & Priscilla A One-Woman Musical Drama! Undoubtedly “the greatest story
ever told,” like the photographs on this page, has many varied colors
and expression. In
Laurette’s one-woman show Great Women of the Bible you will
meet three remarkable women who tell the story of when “the Word became
flesh and dwelt among us (John “Great Women of the Bible
had been a project the Lord first put on my heart in 1987, shortly after I
committed my life to Jesus Christ,” says Laurette. “Over the years I would study
different women of the Bible and the lessons their lives teach us. I would write sketches about them,
praying for ways to present these women to the people of today.” The sensitivity with which these Great
Women are presented to us brings us into their world so we hear what
they hear, see what they see and feel as they feel.
Each Great Woman
“character” is 30 minutes
in length. Choose one,
two or more! Have you ever wished you could
step back in time, just for a day, and sit at the feet of the Master as He
spoke with His disciples? Have you ever wondered how
Elizabeth and Zechariah felt when they discovered she was with child, just as
the angel Gabriel said she would be – a woman who was
“barren” and “well on in years?” Her son was John the Baptist (called
“Yochanan the Immerser”
by his people), prophesied by Isaiah as “The voice of one crying in the
wilderness: ‘Prepare the way of the LORD; make His paths straight (Isaiah 40:3; Matthew 3:3).’” Have you ever wished you could step on board with Paul the Apostle as
he sailed throughout the known world spreading the gospel of Jesus
Christ? What was the first
century church really like, and why
were people willing to give all, even unto death, for the sake of Christ? Several original songs are neatly
woven throughout the piece. Mary Magdalene touches our hearts
as she relates how Yeshua
(Jesus) changed her life in “Home Was Just a Memory.” The second act closes with a musical
depiction of the crucifixion and resurrection that has audiences cheering by
the end of “He Is Risen!” “Great Women of the
Bible” is also the name of the new CD by Laurette Willis and
producer/arranger Steve Cypert. “Traded for a Martyr’s
Crown” is sung by the character of Priscilla, who with her husband As Paul awaits execution in the
horrid Tullianum
prison in “Traded for a martyr’s
crown, traded by grace Traded for a place with Him, soon
face-to-face. Out of the body, present with the
Lord. The last breath breathed in this
world, The next breath with God.”
©2003 Laurette Willis Hear What
Others are Saying: “Laurette was invited to present Great Women of the Bible for our
Sunday morning worship service. Our church members were mesmerized by her
performance. Especially effective
was her benediction at the end of her dramatization, which led into the altar
call at the end of the service… “Laurette is
multi-talented, and humbly uses these talents to bring the gospel message to
as many people as she can. Her
heart is completely set on bringing glory to our Lord.” Dr. Charles E. Higgs, Senior Pastor “Laurette
is a delightful blend of professional actress and anointed minister.
Her dramatic presentations bring a greater depth of understanding to the
Bible stories we've always known. Her portrayal of characters like Mary
Magdalene and other great women of the Bible seem to bring these people back
to life and reveal their very souls. “Watching her
perform is like taking a ride on an emotional roller coaster all the way from
joyous laughter to tears of grief and then joy again. She loves God and
it shows. Her ministry will be a blessing to any church.” Robert O. Johnson, President Independent Assemblies Fellowship of Churches "Thank
you for sharing your many gifts with the women of southern Nancy Hidle, Women's
Ministry Director Southern New England District Council of the
Assemblies of God “Since I am a visual learner, I especially
love the way I felt drawn into the history and culture of the Bible through
Elizabeth, Priscilla and Mary Magdalene.
“The Bible
came alive with each character as we anticipated the birth of a
longed–for son, poured the precious oil on Jesus’ feet and served
with Paul and visited him in prison.
“What a great
time we had with Laurette! May
God continue to give her opportunities and ideas as she performs for Him.” Jean Bond,
Pastor’s wife READ more

← Her husband, Zechariah, had a visitation from the angel Gabriel, who told him give birth to a son ( the prophet John the Baptist). prayers have been answered! – from Luke 1 “A short
time later my husband and I discovered we were
going to be parents, and
I doubt there had been a more excited couple since Abraham and Sarah! “Memories of how I’d
been mocked over the years for being childless returned to me, and I wanted to run out into the streets and tell the world
I was with child–just to see their
faces. Then I would beg the LORD’s
forgiveness for being prideful – as if
such grace given to me had been my
doing. “Here was I, the withered
branch of a tree, blossoming –in the
dead of winter! It was the LORD’s
doing, and it was marvelous in our eyes!” ********** Now Available: RUTH Experience the Old Testament story of Ruth the Moabitess and her Kinsman Redeemer, Boaz (a perfect
picture of our relationship with Jesus, our Redeemer). To redeem means
“to buy back” or “restore to its original state.” Meet Ruth, the great-grandmother of King David, and learn how
God transformed her life from one of darkness and poverty to one of great
love, joy and plenty. The devoted daughter-in-law, Ruth sings to Naomi: Wherever you go I will go. Your people will be my own. And where your home is I will dwell. Your God I’ll worship Him alone. ********** You may also enjoy learning about PraiseMoves™ “The
Christian ALTERNATIVE to Yoga” by visiting our PraiseMoves web site. ********** Priscilla and her husband worked with the apostle Paul, establishing house churches,
teaching and equipping leaders in “I was
raised a daughter of privilege, a member of the Glabrio family. A number of my forbears were consuls, chief magistrates
who enjoyed significant
political power, second only to the Emperor
himself. “I tell you this not to have
you think more highly of me than you ought, but to emphasize the enormous grace of our Lord who, in His infinite
mercy, saw fit to rescue one so full of pride
as myself. I, who thought wealth, sophistication and cleverness, exempted one from the judgment of God!” |
