Acting Out Luke's Message: Lenten Dialogues Exploring the Gospel of Luke includes three series of Lenten dialogues based on the Gospel of Luke, intended for use during Cycle C of the Revised Common Lectionary, plus a fourth series on Lenten Commemorations. Working with the assumption that Lent is a time for study and reflection and avoiding a focus on the Passion narrative before Holy Week, Timm wrote each of these series to explore messages from Luke from multiple perspectives.\n\nThe conversations in these dialogues are intended to be realistic and to express the good-natured banter that might occur between friends or family members. Dialogue participants should be encouraged to emphasize these moments of humor in the script. These dialogues may be used for a midweek Lenten gathering, a Sunday worship service, a retreat setting, or private and group devotionals.\n\n\"Roger Timm has created a wonderful four-set series of Lenten dialogues based on Lucan themes to use in any of a variety of settings including Lenten worship or with Lenten study groups. His dialogues are engaging, thought-provoking, informative and challenging. This is a great resource for engaging people in thoughtful, faithful reflection and conversation.\"\nKaren Matthias-Long\nAssociate of the Bishop\nNortheastern Pennsylvania Synod\/ELCA\n\nSome of the dialogues include:\nThe Good Samaritan\nThe Rich Fool\nThe Dishonest Manager\nThe Rich Man and Lazarus\nMary, the Mother of Our Lord\n\nThe Rev.
