The Price a one-act play, in audio and paperback

Leon Newton is a very popular author who recently won the national award for the best book in 2009, for his most successful play, Titus. He also won the Evvy award for the same category in the same year. It is quite mentionable that, Leon is also a proud member of the Christian Writers Guild, Dramatist Guild of America and Author League of America and Christian Writer’s Association. The author has come up with his latest play The Price, which also promises to be the most successful book of the year. Leon Newton is an accomplished author, who has portrayed the image of God, in his latest play, The Price very beautifully. He wants us to believe into the existence of god, that he is present and saves us from all the dangers of life. Throughout his play, he tries to eradicate the feeling of atheism from the minds of the Christian. He tries to convey the message of peace and divinity, through his wonderful play. Basically, he wants us to accept the fact that no one is above god. The Price is entirely based upon the life of a millionaire, who is very presumptuous and an atheist too. He believes that everything which happens is done by him, and there is no role of god in it. He feels that there is no hell in this universe and everything is under the control of man. His arrogance makes him completely blind, that he is not able to make out the difference between good and evil. He presumes himself to be the god of all. The author tries to give the examples of pastors in the play, but the millionaire remains the same. Newton has beautifully underlined the sequences of god, where he elaborates about the salvation of a man, but still the millionaire is unmoved. In the play, there are instances where the millionaire is bound to believe in the existence of Jesus, but somehow he denies its existence. He thinks that whatever wrong is happening, is due to his own mistakes, and not the planning of any god. In a way, the play is all about how money crashes the mind of a man and makes him overconfident of everything. Newton explains that there is no power in this universe, which is above Jesus, but the millionaire cannot accept this fact. He thinks himself to be the most powerful man on the planet. The author has tried to create a remarkable scene in this play, for his readers, which will easily come in front of your eyes. You will be able to feel the divinity of god and the existence of Christ in the church. The main idea of Newton to write this play was, to spread awareness among the people about the existence of god and his salvation for man. There are many people like the millionaire in the play, who do not believe in the existence of god. The Price is an attempt to change the views of those people.
