Dramatic Encounters with God: 7 Life-Changing Lessons of Love 

A woman caught in adultery. A man with a withered hand. A busy hostess and her sister. A man who cut himself with stones. 

They were real people - people with questions, needs, hurts, and longings. Some were never even mentioned by name. Yet they all had a dramatic encounter with God. You'll laugh out loud as Tammie Jean Smith, a coffee shop waitress retells the story of two sisters who invited Jesus to dinner. Then you'll be moved to tears as a psychologist shares the story of the man of the tombs with Allison, a teenage girl who cuts herself. As you enter into the stories, you'll discover timeless lessons in love. Each chapter includes a corresponding scripture passage as well as questions and practical suggestions to help you apply these life-changing lessons in your own life. This is a great selection for personal devotions or small group discussions. Paperback.

Nicole Johnson Live: Dramatic Encounters with God, DVD 

Nicole Johnson invites you on an imaginative journey into the stories of men and women whose lives were forever changed by a dramatic encounter with Jesus. In Him, they found hope. So will you. 

This DVD features six sketches, including three new pieces by Nicole. DVD also has a special extra feature interview with Nicole and her long time director and friend, Pepper Sweeney.

• A Tale of Two Sisters - You've never heard the biblical story of Mary and Martha told quite like this. It's hilarious and slightly unorthodox teaching from our favorite coffee shop waitress Tammie Jean.
• The Girl of the Tombs - With love and courage, a therapist helps a young girl who cuts herself find hope in Jesus' encounter with a demon possessed man and in the process gives hope to her entire family. 
• Stretch Out Your Hand - Jesus' encounter with a man who had a withered hand plays out like a court room drama. While we may know the facts of his story, many of us have no idea what really happened in the synagogue that day. 
• The Flat Thud of Grace - In biblical times, rocks were the way people dealt with sin; unfortunately rocks don't hit sin, they hit people. This first century encounter clears the path to a lifestyle of grace.
• The Kiss of Death - One of the deepest pains in life is betrayal by someone we have loved and trusted. The encounter between Jesus and Judas gives insight and hope to the betrayer and to the one betrayed.
• A Touch of Faith - The unyielding ache of infertility gives way to peace as a woman finds her own story inside the biblical account of the bleeding woman who touched the hem of Jesus' garment.
