S.J. Knight Publishes Musical Adaptation of A TIME TO HEAR

Author S. J. Knight is a published author and former ABC radio scriptwriter, who has written a wide variety of material over many years, but found a true passion in writing scriptural novels for adult readers. "A Time To Hear," the first of Knight's four part 'Time To' series, first appeared in 2006. Reprinted in 2012, it was subsequently adapted for the stage, and is now published as "A Time To Hear - A Musical Stage Play," by Xlibris AU.

In the tiny lakeside community of Banayim, Galilee, the villagers long for the promised Messiah to save them from poverty and Roman rule. Meanwhile, their work, quarrels and gossip go as usual. Young Dan, the motherless son of Shepherd Ammiel, is confused. Who is the Messiah? When will he come? And what does it all mean? When startling news comes of a bold prophet preaching in the wilderness of Judea, the family is determined to discover whether this is indeed their Messiah. They set out on a journey - a journey which will change everything. Each of them will hear more, learn more and lose more than they could ever have expected. All of them will find more than they ever could have imagined.

"This book is thoughtfully laid out - readable, accessible and interesting, with plenty of helpful tips, space for notes and dozens of illustrations to inspire readers," Knight says. "It is appealing as a book to read on its own, but particularly so to amateur performers who want something fresh and different from generic-style gospel plays/musicals. It's a punchy story with no 'preachiness' or over-sentimentality."

"A Time To Hear" hopes to make readers see that the biblical world was as real then as it is today, that true joy is deeper and more lasting than just feeling happy in the moment and that faith gives everyone hope and resilience.
