The Woman Jesus Called Mother (55 minutes)
Extraordinary interest in this original one-woman, one-act play has led to opportunities for Maggie to present the life of Mary of Nazareth throughout the United States as well as overseas. This dramatic presentation, which includes original arrangements of Hebrew folk music, allows audiences to meet “Mary” in 14 different scenes over the course of her life - first as a young girl growing up in an observant Jewish home in Nazareth, and finally as an elderly woman looking back over her son’s life and the meaning of his birth, death and resurrection. Since the emphasis is not

Jonathan and Sarah Edwards (55 minutes)

This original drama was commissioned for the Jonathan Edwards Tercentenary Celebration held in New England in 2003. Performed in authentic period costuming and documented by historians, it is the culmination of over a year of research into the life of the wife of the famous colonial preacher. More than simply an historical reenactment, Sarah is instead a first-person account of a woman who maintained a

on Mary herself but on Jesus as both her son and her Savior, the play is a vehicle for effective outreach to those from Catholic, Protestant, Jewish or unchurched backgrounds.
"Maggie brings Mary the Mother of Jesus alive. Suddenly our hearts connect and the overwhelming mystery and wonder of the incarnation springs to life. The challenge comes to us. Will we make a home in our hearts for Him? If we do, we will know ‘Christmas’ every day of our lives!”
--Jill Briscoe, author and speaker
vibrant faith in the midst of family tragedy, church dissension and the challenge of raising 11 children. Experience the era of the Great Awakening through the eyes of a woman who lived it.

“I just finished [reading] the play and it brought tears to my eyes...I believe it will have a strong impact on people to realize that they too can have a relationship with Jehovah-Jireh as Sarah did.”

Amma: Amy Carmichael of India (45 minutes)
Maggie’s interest in India began as a child in the 1960’s when she supported the work of the Bird’s Nest Orphanage in the Raipur district. This new one-woman drama depicts the life and words of the woman known as “Amma” (mother) to hundreds of Indian children. Born in northern Ireland in 1867, Amy served the people of India as a missionary for over 50 years without a furlough. Known as a prayer warrior and the founder of Dohnavur Fellowship, this spirited woman of God began a ministry to India’s forsaken children that


continues to this day.
Following an accident that left her bedridden for the final twenty years of her life, Amy’s ministry became worldwide through her devotional writing and poetry. Maggie has written this dramatic portrayal, with its themes of spiritual motherhood, coping with suffering and reaching the lost, in the hope that a new generation will be inspired by the passion of this singular servant of God.
A farmer’s daughter from Illinois, Maggie spent 25 years in ministry in New England with her husband Mike, where she directed women’s ministries for Vision New England. Now a resident of Wheaton, Maggie serves on the staff of a major Christian publishing house as well as a guest communications instructor at Wheaton College.  As a freelance writer, Maggie has contributed to over ten books including What We’ve Learned So Far, the new Zondervan Women’s Devotional Bible, the Thomas Nelson Family Foundations Bible, Chicken Soup for the Christian Woman’s Soul, and Tyndale’s One Year Bible for New Believers. Maggie has been married to a pastor for over 30 years and has three young adult children.

Maggie’s personal mission as a speaker, teacher, and dramatist can be summed up in the paraphrased words of 1 Peter 4:11: “If anyone speaks, she should do it as one speaking the very words of God. If anyone serves, she should do it with the strength God provides, so that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ. To him be the glory and the power for ever and ever. Amen!”
