Picture of Pastor John Fickett
I have known Duffy for forty years, so I expected it to be good. It wasn’t.
It was GREAT! Wow!
I expected something like a dramatic recitation but had no idea how powerfully the carefully-thought-out images, symbolic actions etc. would grab me with the meaning of Ephesians. 
I’m a big advocate of reading large chunks of scripture at once so that we can follow the train of thought. This was one step better than that—a walk through the book with gripping emotion and meaning right out of the life of Paul!
People in our church can’t say enough about what the presentation meant to them. Those who were there will probably never think the same about the armor of God, the Jewish-Gentile unity, or a host of other important ideas from Ephesians. There weren’t many dry eyes in the place by the time we got to the end.
What Duffy accomplished (what God accomplished?) with the words of Ephesians and a handful of props was amazing. 
As a pastor I say: Use this presentation! (No, I’m not getting paid for this!) This is tremendous content for a Sunday morning service, a special gathering, or almost any other occasion where Christians could benefit from a super-interesting, edifying, thoughtfully-put-together event.

P.S. Since I called this a “review,” I suppose I should tell you the negatives. Hmmm. Hmmmm. Well, in our service there was a crazy concatenation of little glitches: Duffy got stuck to duct tape covering a cord, his apron knot wouldn’t come undone, we had a computer snafoo, and one of Duffy’s shackles broke. The recitation was so immersive and so well done that hardly anyone noticed any of these things.
