Book Description

October 19, 1999
Effectively disproving any notion that Christians are relentlessly dour, melancholy, humorless, and joyless, these books from Cal and Rose Samra offer a rib-tickling treasury of Christian joy and humor. They're as ideally suited to individuals and families looking for a laugh as they are to pastors, speakers, and all those who seek to spice up their presentations - and their lives -
with a few power-packed moments of Holy Humor.
        For more than a decade, the interdenominational Fellowship of Merry Christians has been publishing The Joyful Noiseletter, an award-winning newsletter filled with church life humor by some of the world's top comedians, humorists, clowns, and cartoonists. Now, the most snicker-spurring and laughter-inciting of these comical contributions are available in four uproarious trade paperback collections and four mini-giftbooks!
        Featuring cartoons by such gifted cartoonists as Bil Keane, creator of The Family Circus, and Johnny Hart, creator of B.C., these collections by editors Cal and Rose Samra are a virtual treasury of good, clean, inspirational humor. Within the pages of each book, readers will find enough knee-slapping jokes, uplifting anecdotes, zingy one-liners, joyful Scripture references, inspiring stories, top ten lists, clean limericks, church cartoons, real-life "uh-ohs," bulletin bloopers, and "jestimonials" from pastors, health professionals, chaplains, and patients to make them laugh from start to finish!
        Conveniently arranged by topic or month for easy use, each book is ideal for pastors, teachers, public speakers, and all who seek to fill their lives with God-inspired joy and holy laughter, to help them face the challenges of life.

4.0 out of 5 stars Prepare Ye the Way of Bil Keane!, September 1, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Mirth for the Millennium (The Holy Humor Series) (Paperback)
Two side-splitting comic panel artists, the legendary Johnny Hart and the ever-pursued Bil Keane build their cartoon crown of thorns in this novel concept book. Although the slightly unnerving image of the Apostles looking like Jeffy and PJ can give one pause, the message is certainly clear and enlightening. Makes a great gift for letting your Sunday School friends know your sense of humor.

5.0 out of 5 stars Holy Cow, Holy Smoke & Holy Toledo, July 15, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Mirth for the Millennium (The Holy Humor Series) (Paperback)
Mirth for the Millenium presents 2000 good reasons to be a happy Christian. There's enough material here to keep preachers and inspirational speakers tickling the funny bones of their audiences for two more millenia. You can almost imagine Jesus himself smiling when he hears these quips, quotes and jokes passed around his modern day followers. Try this book whether you're a believer or not.

This review is from: Mirth for the Millennium (The Holy Humor Series) (Paperback)
It's been quite awhile since I purchased the book from Amazon. I like the price very well, I sent to my sister-in-law while she was dying of cancer to perhaps help her somewhat.
