An extensive index will make this book of humor one of the most useful resources in your library. All of the key words in every story are in the index. The preacher, teacher or public speaker will have no difficulty finding the exact bit of humor needed to bring sparkle to a sermon, speech, lesson or monthly bulletin. A sampling of the contents: The world's best after-dinner speech: I'll take the check One thing you can say about an egoist: He never talks about other people. Preachers don't talk in their sleep; they talk in their parishioner's sleep. Conversation heard after church: ""Do you think Madilyn Johnson is tinting her hair?"" ""I don't know; I didn't see her."" ""Do you think that dress Mrs. Hansen was wearing should be paraded before God-fearing people of the church?"" ""I didn't notice that, either."" ""A lot of good it does YOU to go to church."" He dieted religiously: he quit snacking in church. An old Scotchman lay dying. The pastor and family gathered around his bedside. Finally the old man motioned to his grandson. When the grandson reached the bed, the old Scotchman laid his gold watch in the boy's hand. ""Grandson, how'd you like to buy a good watch?"" Walter M. Buescher began collecting jokes and bits of humor over 60 years ago. He ended up with four file drawers, some of which was published by Prentice-Hall in their book Library of Humor. During a lifetime of public speaking across the country and in his position as Sales Training Manager with an international company, Buescher drew from his file to entertain and inspire thousands in his audiences.

Incorporating perspectives from religious studies, humor studies, cultural and film studies, and theology, as well as original data from textual analysis and the voices of religious comedians, this book critically analyses the experiences of believers who appreciate that their faith is not necessarily a barrier to their laughter. It is often thought that religion and humor are incompatible, but Religious Humor in Evangelical Christian and Mormon Culture shows that humor is not only a popular means of entertainment, but also a way in which an individual or community expresses their identity and values. Elisha McIntyre argues that believers embrace their sense of humor, actively producing and consciously consuming comic entertainment that reflects their own experiences. This process is not however without conflict. The book argues that there are specific characteristics that indicate a unique kind of humor that may be called 'religious humor'. Through an examination of religious humor found in stand-up comedy, television sitcoms, comedy film and satirical cartoons, and drawing on interview data, the book outlines the main considerations that Christians take into account when choosing their comedy entertainment. These include questions about ideology, blasphemy, taboos around the body, and the motives behind the joke.

This book traces the development of religious comedy and leverages that history to justify today’s uses of religious humor in all of its manifestations, including irreverent jokes. It argues that regulating humor is futile and counterproductive, illustrating this point with a host of comedic examples. Humor is a powerful rhetorical tool for those who advocate and for those who satirize religious ideals. The book presents a compelling argument about the centrality of humor to the story of Western Christianity’s cultural and artistic development since the Middle Ages, taking a multi-disciplinary approach that combines literary criticism, religious studies, philosophy, theology, and social science. After laying out the conceptual framework in Part 1, Part 2 analyzes key works of religious comedy across the ages from Dante to the present, and it samples the breadth of contemporary religious humor from Brad Stine to Robin Williams, and from Monty Python to South Park. Using critical, historical, and conceptual lenses, the book exposes and overturns past attempts by church authorities, scholars, and commentators to limit and control laughter based on religious, ideological, or moral criteria. This is a unique look into the role of humor and comedy around religion. It will, therefore, appeal to readers interested in multiple fields of inquiry, including religious studies, humor studies, the history of ideas, and comparative literature.

Recent Letter: Dear Pastor Robert. As a Religious leader and broadcaster, I am always sent material that is funny, but may be overly disrespectful to God, my TV audience, or other denominations. I can honestly say that More Humor From The Pulpit is one of the most enjoyable collection of religious humor I have read in a long time. While 12 of the jokes and stories I am told are from your own writings, the rest have been passed on from minister to minister and told to congregations throughout the years. Surprisingly I found many in your book that I have not heard before. I highly recommend that all ministers and anyone else who enjoys a good laugh, to pick up their own copy.

How can we, God’s masterpiece, created in HIS image, think of situations as funny, unless the whole idea came from God in the first place? Many say that the nature of God is unknowable, but I'm certain of one thing at least. God Almighty does have a sense of humor. And we need to see this side of Him as well, in order to totally appreciate Him. Today, we live in a world that most times seems so overwhelming, where a good laugh and a real smile are rarely ever seen or heard. The everyday stresses of life can leave us feeling hassled, hurried, hopeless and harassed. Add to that a fragile economy during a time of threatened security, and we could be left feeling frightened, vulnerable, and totally off on the stress meter. We therefore need tools for coping, as it's easy to lose simple joy. But, maintaining a close relationship with God, who "sits in the heavens and laughs" (Ps. 2:4) will release that grace to enjoy this ‘joy and laughter’ in our lives, for in His "presence is fullness of joy" (Ps. 16:11). HE is that ‘spring of happiness’ that will enable us to overcome the pressures and trials of life. And joy helps break down those barriers allowing laughter to freely flow. Humor and laughter will not just change your day; they can change your life! It is said that young children laugh as much as 100 to 200 times a day, compared to the majority of adults that only get zero to a few daily laughs a day. Yet laughter is good not only for the body but also for the soul and Spirit. This reservoir of: Christian Jokes for the ‘Serious Religious’ Folks! is an exhaustive collection of rib-tickling, humorous jokes with the purpose being twofold: To help bring joy and laughter into our everyday lives and to help as a great preaching resource for Preachers, Ministers and Teachers of the Word, by helping to tickle any congregation's funny bone -- and grab their attention. So, given the above “license to laugh” now, just enjoy the rib-tickling pages that follow and learn to laugh and laugh and laugh, so you'll last and last and last!
