The Town of Odyssey

I know it hasn't aired on the radio yet, but I was wondering if any of you had heard the Radio Theatre adaption of The Hiding Place. I read the book a while back and I am really looking forward to hearing the show. I've ordered the CDs, but haven't received them yet. For those that have heard it, was it good? Was the music and sound effects as good as they are "cracked up" to be? I look forward to all your responses!

Well I am afraid you'll be dissapointed with my response...

I have not heard the CDs, nor read the book.

I haven't heard it, but it sounds like it'll be good. I've read the book and watched the movie. I think the life of Corrie Ten Boom is so interesting!

Oh.... that's what it is? I knew I heard of it!! I had to read that book for school.

I read the book and loved it. I have not heard the FOTF dramatization yet. I ordered the CDs from FOTF and as is always the norm with them the CDs are backordered, it was supposed to ship on the 15th of April. My guess is that we won't get them until August.

I haven't heard FotF's dramatization of "The Hiding Place," although I have seen the movie. Quite an intriguing story . . . plenty of courage and forgiveness involved. Has anyone read "Night" by Ellie Wiesel? Another story based around the same events.

I've read "The Hiding Place" as well as other books on Corrie Ten Boom. I also saw the movie once when I was little... kinda frightening for me back them.

I saw that Radio Theatre was producing this and I was curious how it was going to turn out. Sometimes you have to wonder how they'll adapt certain books to the radio.

I love the sotry, but haven't heard them yet.

I received the CDs from Focus on the Family yesterday (it'sin a different travel package than the other RT shows!). I enjoyed listening to it, but I must warn you that a few scenes have been slightly changed for radio. The messages and main details have not been changed but many of the situations are done in different orders and ways so the listener can understand what is happening. IMO, this probably adds to the enjoyment of the radio drama versus having narration, but it might annoy some people that it does not strictly follow the book (though some scenes are done almost word-for-word, as with the CONs). Anyway, it was a wonderfully produced and adapted radio drama (Dave Arnold dramatised it) and is certainly one of my favorites!

It started airing on the radio in my area the week before last and my radio station did not air part 2 this past Sunday. I did listen to the first part on the radio and it was good I have the CDs and have been intending to listen to them in my truck but I have been distracted by other stuff. Hopefully my local station will get back on track this Sunday.

I have the Radio Theatre dramatization (which I received last week) sitting on my dresser, but I have not yet found the time to listen to it. I will soon though!

I've been listening to it on the radio. I've found it a bit confusing so far with the many people coming in and out. I look forward to hearing the rest of it.

I listened to it but I am annoyed at how they move things around they did not happen in that order. Give me the book it way better.
