Book Description
A minister, a priest, and a rabbi walk into a bar. The bartender says, "Hey, what is this, some kind of joke?" Laughter Ever After offers a seriously funny theological reflection on the place of laughter and humor in pastoral counseling. Blending academic research, psychological insights, and pastoral advice, this humor-filled book helps those who want to be "Ministers of Good Humor" learn about the human needs to which humor can sensitize us and understand what humor has to offer those who are trying to cope with life's inevitabilities, such as aging, illness, and death. Readers will be entertained by the dozens of witty jokes throughout the text, but also gain insight by pondering Donald Capps's pastoral perspective of these humorous quips. Written for a wide audience, Laughter Ever After would serve as a great tool for any pastor, minister, or churchgoer. It can even be used as a self-help book for anyone in need of a laugh or who appreciates a good joke. By showing us where humor's place in ministry is, Capps teaches us that laughter can help in almost any situation

Pages : 324
Book Description
"An absolutely dazzling entertainment. . . . Arousing on every level—political, erotic, intellectual, and above all, humorous." —Newsweek "The Book of Laughter and Forgetting calls itself a novel, although it is part fairy tale, part literary criticism, part political tract, part musicology, and part autobiography. It can call itself whatever it wants to, because the whole is genius." —New York Times Rich in its stories, characters, and imaginative range, The Book of Laughter and Forgetting is the novel that brought Milan Kundera his first big international success in the late 1970s. Like all his work, it is valuable for far more than its historical implications. In seven wonderfully integrated parts, different aspects of human existence are magnified and reduced, reordered and emphasized, newly examined, analyzed, and experienced.
