...In Their Own Words

From the pages of the past, in the written word of God, echoing down from the centuries are voices. Voices of other times, other places recording human life; their struggles, their joys and their part in history.

In the Holy Scriptures are stories, and accounts of men and women who came before us. Women have been an integral part of the development and building up of the family of faith from the beginning.

God appears to have been no respecter of persons in His choice of the great heroines of the faith. She may have been a queen, a pauper, a prostitute, or a princess. Woman have always been in the sunlight or the shadows; waiting, watching, weeping, caring for, guiding, loving, giving birth, nurturing or warring.

The Bible is a great text book from which we may glean many truths and lessons. What are the applications to our life today?

God does not waste one ‘ jot or one tittle’, every person under the sun has a purpose, and especially those of Biblical times. Their story has been trapped between the pages of time to teach us how to think, how to live, and the ways of God with man.

For many years Linda Frost-Clark has had a passion for study of the scriptures, to learn from them the great truths and lessons they offer. With this passion and an imagination, she began to imagine how selected women must have appeared. What did they see, what did they experience, and what did they think about? From this came the inception and birth of this ministry, Voices. Following the scriptures Linda has written or fleshed out the story of a number of women who found a special place in her heart. She began by first reading them to friends who encouraged her, and as things evolved, presenting them in dramatic narrative, first person singular. As the passion grew, the ministry has grown and she has presented to many audiences, selected women in period costume, becoming the woman herself, appearing and telling their story, with her voice, “In Their Words.”

In addition to individual performances, Linda in also available for weekend retreats. This takes the form of first performing a character then teaching on her attributes. She uses Proverbs 31 (The Virtuous Woman) as an overlay to study these different women and to glean characteristics a modern woman might incorporate into her life.
