Rev. Lowell's Laughter in the House of God

This book contains nearly four hundred of my all-time favorite anecdotes, jokes, and witty comments about religion, the Bible, clergy, churches, Sunday school, and related topics. As every skilled communicator knows, listeners remember the humorous illustrations in a talk, a lecture, or a sermon long after they forget the other content of the address. As Isaac Asimov, author of hundreds of books and lifetime collector of humorous anecdotes, once related, “Jokes of the proper kind, properly told, can do more to enlighten questions of politics, philosophy, and literature than any number of dull arguments.” Joel Goodman remarks, “Mirth can be a major tool for insight, changing HA-HA to AHA!”
