5.0 out of 5 stars A Sure Fire Hit, July 31, 2006

This review is from: Did You Read That? Bulletin Bloopers & Church Funnies (Paperback)

When you read the church bulletin or newsletter or listen to the announcements, how often do you hear a mistake or a blunder? When it appears in print, these typographical errors almost require a second look, then a smile. Or, when unintentional humor happens orally, it's all some people can do to keep from giggling out loud.

Since 1957, Derric Johnson has been involved in ministry, serving two churches as associate pastor, minister of music, minister to collegians and minister to singles. You will love the simple format of these books which include timeless quotes like, "Next Sunday is Easter, and Mrs. Anderson will come forward to lay an egg on the altar." Or notice the one letter difference between the word "singing" and "sinning" in this quote: "The choir invites any member of the congregation who enjoys sinning to join the choir."

These two volumes are divided according to where the blooper appeared. If it is written in a church bulletin, then it's in the book Did You Read That?

The second volume includes more than humor. Did You See That? includes more quips, quotes, and one-liners. This reviewer enjoyed the timeless quotes on different topics such as, "There are three things that grow more precious with age...old wood to burn, old books to read, and old friends to enjoy."

Or, "Parental wisdom is bringing up your children...so that someone else will like them besides you."

For a light moment and to lift the spirit of someone, these books are a sure-fire hit.

I bought this book for a church library. We all need to laugh more. The funnys are good, clean, family friendly. I plan to take it with me to the next Quilting Day, so the ladies can laugh while we quilt!
