| Between Heaven and Mirth: Why Joy, Humor, and Laughter Are at the Heart... by James MartinJesuit James Martin, who often appeared on Comedy Central's Colbert Report, reminds us that Jesus expressed a sense of humor and that joyfulness may demonstrate a strong faith -- St. Teresa of Avila and other saints were famous for their humor. Using quotations from the Bible, comical anecdotes, interviews with scholars, and illustrations from history, Martin saves Christianity from gloom and shows how to apply these entertaining lessons to one's personal theology. Baptist pastor Susan Sparks' Laugh Your Way to Grace offers additional insight into a religious sense of humor. |
