Inspired by a four-part Christmas sermon series, Five in Waiting: Conversations of Faith in the E.R., is a powerful novella that weaves fiction, theology, and apologetics into a compelling narrative. Five strangers-each with diverse worldviews-are brought together in a thought-provoking setting where deep conversations about Jesus Christ unfold. Through heartfelt dialogue and emotional encounters, the story explores Jesus as the Suffering Servant, the Risen Savior, the Compassionate Redeemer, and the long-awaited Messiah. Each chapter concludes with Scripture references to support the themes discussed, and optional study questions make this an ideal resource for personal or group Bible study. As a unique bonus, the original four drama scripts that inspired the story are included at the end, offering pastors, churches, and Christian drama groups ready-to-use material for their own sermon series. This novella is more than a story-it's a versatile tool for deepening faith and encouraging meaningful discussion about who Jesus truly is.
