5.0 out of 5 stars Thorough explanation of "why" and "how to" of this ministry, August 14, 1998
By A Customer
Unlike traditional clowning, the focus here is to build up the audience at no one's expense. Floyd and Penne whet the reader's appetite for more. This type of clowning lends itself well to a worship setting, and done with adequate training and rehearsal, it becomes a vital way for youth to give back to the church, while involving many more of the congregation's 5 senses in the act of worship. It is very possible to become a "fool for Christ" and an ambassador for the same through the applications found in this book. I particularly appreciated the many skits that were included, and found them to be scripturally sound. This resource was a wonderful starting point for our church, and I heartily recommend it.

5.0 out of 5 stars REQUIRED READING, August 15, 2008
This book was a very thought-provoking work. Written for the beginner, but valuable to the seasoned clown as well, this book should be required reading for anyone interested in Clown Ministry or Creative Ministry.

How's and why's, character types, costuming, makeup, performance, and even some skits to get you started... I highly recommend this book.

Other books I have found to be the most helpful:
The Clown Ministry Handbook by Janet Litherland
Fool For The Kingdom by Philip D. Noble
Mime Ministry by Susie Kelly Toomey
Be A Clown by Mark Stolzenberg (MUST HAVE!)
and if you just want skits, try Clown Act Omnibus by Wes McVicar

5.0 out of 5 stars Very informative!, August 9, 2001
By Melissa Ferguson (Crittenden, KY USA) - See all my reviews
This book is great if you are thinking of implementing a clown ministry at your church! Not only do they tell you 'how-to' but also 'why'. This book has information on all aspects of a clown ministry and there is a guide in the back for your own clown ministry training weekend. I highly recommend it to ministers and youth groups.
