Laughing Out Loud & Other Religious Experiences
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
In the end, this book makes a convincing case for the value of laughter in our lives. "Sometimes we laugh for sinister motives, and sometimes we use humor for noble reasons. But, thank God, we often laugh for the same reason fishermen-for the halibut. Life is serious, and in the back of our minds we recall we're eventually heading for the cemetery. Fortunately, the Christian faith says the graveyard is not the last stop. Thus, we are free to enjoy funny things that happen along the way."

HOW TO READ THIS BOOK
(A COMPREHENSIVE GUIDE)
1. Pick it up.
2. Chuckle. Enjoy the funny stories and the jokes and the one-liners told as only a master humorist like Tom Mullen can tell them.
3. Think. What sort of things make you laugh? Why do some Christians believe lightheartedness is out of place for a child of God? Do you agree? When can humor hurt people, and when can it be a healing influence? What does it have to do with your friendships, your family life, your Christian walk?
4. Share it, if you wish, with friends in a discussion group (thought-provoking study questions are included with each chapter).
5. Enjoy. Put the book down. Feel the corners of your mouth begin to twitch? Go ahead - throw back your head and enjoy a good, soul-cleansing laugh. After all, Tom Mullen points out, "Psalm 2:4 says, 'he that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh'...That's worth noting, for the Creator, after all, has the best seat in the house."
