Swindoll challenges the notion that Christians must go through life in some joyless regime of pat answers and stereotypical behavior. Drawing from the book of Philippians--where joy is referred to over 20 times--Swindoll invites Christians to live life from the perspective of true joy. By knowing our true source of joy, happiness is no longer dependent on outside circumstances.
Laugh Again was great. Pastor Chuck offers timeless wisdon from the book of Philippians that should be used in every Christians' life. It was also a fun read.

Well written and easy to understand. Swindoll hits the target with his encouragement to develop and keep our sense of humor, and not let the problems of the world take away our joy.

Swindoll has written an excellent book encouraging the reader to not take him/herself so seriously that all joy is gone from life. The book is a refreshing change from the excellent and decidedly more serious titles Swindoll has written in the past. Each of the 14 chapters contains biblical admonitions to not be so stressed out on life and to realize the joy you can have in Jesus Christ. While life has challenges, Swindoll encourages us to not look like we have been sucking lemons or tasting vinegar all day! Read and be encouraged to learn to just chill every so often!
Great encouragement

This is a good book for both people who are currently facing trying times and those who might in the future (isn't that all of us?)Charles Swindoll provides a verse-by-verse look at the book of Philippians and shows how Paul, from prision, provides encouragement to all people of all times.
laugh again/experience outrageous joy

This is probably the best study of the book of Phillipians that I have ever read. It's easy to follow, brings out a perspective that is unique and insightful, and it speaks on a subject sorely needed in today's stressed-out world. Laugh Again is truly a self-help book good for the new millenium regardless of the original publishing date. Buy it for anyone you think needs some Outrageous Joy!
