The Price, written by Leon Newton. Many people
are familiar with
John 3:16 that states: "For God so loved the world, that He gave His
only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him shall not perish, but
have eternal life." God gave us free will and we can choose to accept
Him or deny Him. In The Price, several people from different
backgrounds and beliefs find themselves in hell. Each person has a
unique life story, but ultimately they are all in hell for the same
reason: they refused God's free gift of salvation through Jesus Christ.
The Price gives an account of nine people of varied
backgrounds and their decisions that resulted in their spending
eternity with Satan in hell. The title is poignant, revealing the
ultimate price that each of these people paid for their choices in
life. Unfortunately, they discover that there are no refunds. The
central character is a wealthy, arrogant man who insists that God has
made a mistake. He refuses to accept the fact that he is in hell
because he deserves to be there. Amused, Satan calls upon other recent
residents of hell to tell the millionaire just why they are all there.
With lively and sometimes humorous dialogue, this play builds to a
powerful and heated conclusion and reminds the reader to consider God's
greatest gift -- salvation and an eternity with Christ. This book will
encourage readers to reflect on God's love and mercy, to speak up for
Christ, and most importantly, to truly consider just what our salvation
means.
"I find this play, The Price, to be a sermon in itself. In
fact, it is one of the best plays I have ever read. This play explores
the love of God as well as consequences for the rejection of God.
"The self-centered millionaire is obsessed with greed and
arrogance and is concerned only with money and materialism. Spiritually
blinded, he believes in neither God nor Satan. Blindness and obsession
are enemies of the soul. If they are not eliminated or restrained, they
can lead to death, which leads to hell.
"God warns, 'The day you hear my voice, harden not your
heart.' The millionaire never heard that voice. His blind obsession led
to a permanent spiritual hearing impairment and eternal punishment in
hell.
"The Price is a powerful play with an important message that
speaks to each of us." -- Rev. Hubie Nelson, Tabernacle Christian
Fellowship Baptist Church, Jackson, Mississippi
The Price, a one-act play, is available now in the U.S. and

downloads and Apple iPad editions.
