No Customer Reviews
A punchy look at humour and Christianity, exploring what church might look like if it was more mirthful.
What would it be like if church was full of mirth and merriment?
Exploring what it would be like to have a more joyous aspect to church, Steve Morris looks at the incarnation, TV's comedy vicars, comedians, clowns, and unlikely Christian humourists such as Martin Luther and St Francis to encourage us to see church from a different perspective. If God has a sense of humour, and Jesus laughed, then shouldn't we too?
Challenging, fun, but with a pithy edge, Morris encourages us to think more about the seriousness of being funny and understand why merriment can breathe new life into the church.
