Barrel of Fun - An A-Z of Weird Stories, Wonderful Words, and Wacky Wisdom
by J. John and Mark Stibbe is an A4 sized book.

This book is an humorious read and is 1 of 3 from John and Stibbe - good comical stories and up to 750 words can be used for the church magazine without having to ask permission - so that not bad either.

Enjoyable, light-hearted and some thought provoking content. Very well layed out with different fonts, borders, sizes etc.

Rarely do you crack the spine of a book put out by a religious publisher and find yourself giggling out loud, but this was my recent experience while enjoying A BARREL OF FUN (Kregel, April 2004, paperback, 224 pages), the latest from British co-authors J. John and Mark Stibbe.

Written in an A to Z format, the collection features humorous vignettes, definitions, quotes & quips, and even a few great cartoon drawings. Far from just a joke book, however, the book also includes numerous, thought provoking stories, prayers and letters.

The perfect resource for anyone who finds himself speaking before a group or writing about matters religious, A BARREL OF FUN includes a note to church magazine editors from the authors granting conditional reprinting privileges. Readers are encouraged to enjoy and share the material included in the book. Much good and many smiles will doubtless be produced by those who read and share the pearls of wit and wisdom found in A BARREL OF FUN.
