The King's Table: Biblical Monologues

By Fraser Keay

Coming from a broken family and with shattered feet, Mephibosheth was an unlikely character to be shown great kindness by the greatest king of his generation. But one day, some visitors from the royal court appeared in town looking for him. Using those sections of Scripture which give the details of his life, the author creatively gives Mephibosheth a voice whilst staying true to the intent of the text. Enjoy listening to Mephibosheth recount the day his fortunes dramatically changed for the better.
