In the same way Jesus communicated in a context that people of his time could relate to, Hewitt presents four sharp-witted takeoffs on something our culture can \u003ci\u003ereally\u003c\/i\u003e relate to -- TV. The humorous treatments of these biblical narratives will hold people's attention and breathe new life into traditional nativity texts. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAll four plays are specifically designed to be produced in churches and can be easily staged by congregations of almost any size.
