January 1 - February 4 Holy War
In Ethel Barrett's retelling of John Bunyan's Holy War, the battle for mansoul will fill you with wonder at how little you really love God- and how much God loves you. Ethel Barrett was a prolific Christian writer, speaker and storyteller for over 30 years.
Ethel started her storytelling career as a Sunday school teacher in the early 1940's. She was asked to teach the Boys Brigade class, made up of the most unruly boys in the area. She had so much trouble keeping their attention that she began telling Bible stories using character voices and full dialog to capture their attention. That Sunday School class became a great success for God and her storytelling talent landed her some weekend radio jobs where she would tell Bible stories on her local Christian radio stations.
