In the rec room in at a church in Cypress, Texas, Margery leads her students in a puppet pageant to strengthen their faith in the Bible and evade Satan's hand. But when the young members of the Christian Puppet Ministry put those teachings into practice, one devout young man's puppet takes on a shocking personality that no one could have expected. In this hilarious black comedy, a foul-mouthed sock puppet named Tyrone soon teaches those around him that the urges that can drive a person to give in to their darkest desires fit like a glove. In Hand to God, a "true tour de force" (New York Times), Robert Askins has written a play of "unerring perfection" (Huffington Post). The must-see hit of the 2015 Broadway season, starring Steven Boyer and Geneva Carr, garnered an Obie Award and five Tony Award nominations, including Best Play, following its sold out, critically acclaimed off-Broadway runs at MCC Theater and Ensemble Studio Theatre.

A young girl's request for a story begins a whimsically profound tale woven between father and daughter.

A joyous invitation to all children to see in their own creativity and unique identity the very image of God.

The inspiration for this story is the courage and faith of women who, across the ages, heard Spirit’s call and answered, in spite of convention, resistance, even death. The author crafts a tale about one such woman: The Reverend Calline Simpson, first female minister of High Dunes First United Congregational Church. Spanning a period of six months, late 1980s, the action takes place in the fictional town of High Dunes on the shores of Lake Michigan. Serendipity, and the theology, personality, age, ethnicity and agenda of the characters collide to rock the foundation of the 150-year-old church. While the congregation splits over hiring an out gay man (the A.I.D.S. epidemic is rife), the minister torments herself for violating The Code. Nothing less than a near-death experience can shift the minister’s theology and self- appraisal, and nothing more than divine alchemy can bring all God’s children to sing their Hallelujahs. “Simply stated, I loved this story. The characters were compelling, the story was littered with nice moments and surprises and the writing had a unique, one-of-a-kind feel. Fresh.” Stephen Parolini -“Noveldoctor” “This brings insight to the many demands on ministers. Every parishioner expects you to drop everything and be there for them NOW. The story definitely held my attention. “ -Pat Johnson, educator “I want you to know how much I enjoyed your book. Well written, a good plot and story. It’s a good description of a small church with believable characters. Congratulations.” -Uncle Doc
