Product Description
Comedian-Written & Pastor-Approved!
With the “Divine Comedy” in Scripture, such as Elijah’s sarcastic insults to the prophets of Baal and the slapstick absurdity of David faking insanity, as well as Dean Burkey's comedic commentary, readers should enjoy laughter of biblical proportions.
And not just any kind of laughter. Holy Laughter!
Finding humor in every book of the Bible, this book answers such intriguing questions as:
* Which book of the Bible is like a textbook on how to write a great comedy?
* What’s so funny about a handkerchief?
And more importantly:
* What makes a great gift for birthdays, confirmation, Easter, Thanksgiving, Christmas, anytime?
Also includes lots of funny headings and one-liners, an insightful inspection of the Resurrection of Christ: “For Sale: One Tomb, Slightly Used”, “The Ultimate Movie Trailer!”, clever character sketches of Simon Peter, Pontius Pilate, and more!
Examples of the one-liners:
Although many have tried, Moses is the only man in history to break all Ten Commandments at the same time.
Get right with God;
or be left with Satan.
Why do people pray for me to have patience, instead of praying for God to give me what I want right now?!
Play “The Crosscheck Cookie Game!”
Whenever you find a wordplay with the word cross
in Holy Laughter! Humor in the Bible: Eat a cookie.
… Or to be more fun: Eat a hot cross bun.
… Or to be healthy, eat a carrot.
For example:
How did Mary make the Messiah’s sash?
… She cross-stitched.
Christian books are cross-referenced.

To make sure that this book does more than just entertain, the Parting Thoughts section explains the glorious Gospel message.
Share the Joy of the Lord!
We’re called to be born again; not bored again.

Even if You Don't Own a Kindle,
You Can Still Enjoy the Kindle Edition With:
* Please Note: This is the opinion of the author. But I think we can trust his opinion, because he's such a decent chap and a totally awesome, all-around cool guy.***
** The Epilogue Presents the Gospel Message. Thus, Both the Resurrection Section and the Epilogue May Become a Bit Dogmatic, Whereas the Rest of the Book Focuses on Finding the Funny! But Even the Resurrection Section Has Some Humor Too. And the Epilogue Has the Favorite Line of Mine from the Entire Book. Not the Funniest Joke of the Book, But the Quote for Which I Want Most to Be Quoted.
*** Please Note: This is more a fantasy, wish, and dream of the author than an opinion grounded in what we like to call reality. But lots of people have told me how much they enjoy the book, so let's trust them. Besides, I know the author worked a lot to make the book the best he could.
