The four narratives are quick, simple, and to the point. They [re]present the Gospel of Matthew accurately without too many additions (The creative insertions stay true to Matthew's text). Ogren allows Matthew's text tell the story while introducing up-to-date language. The narratives capture Joseph's anxiety about his vivid dreams, concerns about Mary, his curious visitors, and the plight to Egypt.

The narratives can easily be inserted in worship services, to make the text come alive to the congregation. They may also be used in other contexts such as Sunday School. They are accessible to all ages, allowing all to engage the text through drama. They are structured to be a conversation between the Angel Gabriel and Joseph, making casting easy. The conversations are fluid, realistic, and engaging.
