Two books in one: “Holy Laughter! Humor in the Bible” and “Faith like a Ketchup Seed”, updated, with new bonus material not featured in either book before.

Comedian-Written & Pastor-Approved!

Christian comedy!

(Mostly comedy. A few parts are serious. Such as the sad story of an ice cube in “Faith like a Ketchup Seed”. Yeah, that’s right. It melts.)

“Holy Laughter! Humor in the Bible”

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!

Which makes this the perfect book for anyone, because everyone needs to laugh.

Especially those who don't think they need to laugh. They need to laugh the most!

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!

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.

“Faith like a Ketchup Seed”

Essays, blog posts, Bible studies, devotions, short stories, stand-up routines, jokes, even a skit and a sci-fi tale. Family-friendly. Sunday school-friendly. Even pulpit-friendly!

Learn my theories that prove the existence of God.

Wonder why an ice cube can make you cry. (I know, I already told you he melts, but why he melts is what makes this story so moving.)

Find out why I’m obsessed with wanting to walk on water.

Laugh guilt-free. If you enjoy “Holy Laughter!”, you’ll love “Faith like a Ketchup Seed” too.

Good, clean fun. And I mean that, in a Godly, Christian way.

The New Bonus Material includes Special Bonus Features for “Holy Laughter! Humor in the Bible” including Deleted Scenes.

Extra Bonuses include: “The Loving Ten Commandments of God”, “Marry Mary Christmas! 

(A Monologue for Joseph)”, “The Hardest Part about Forgiveness”, “What I Like about the Devil”, “Remember, You’re Already Beautiful”, and my famous funny and/or thought-provoking fillers.

Holy Laughter! Humor in the Bible

Happy New Month!

I wrote the following over a year ago, 

but never posted it!

I reworked it a bit to post now:

Holy Laughter! Humor in the Bible

My first book "Holy Laughter! Humor in the Bible": 

This book combines two of my lifelong loves -- Comedy and the Bible -- to present the humor that's in the Word and uncover other funny thoughts therein.

After I got out of the hospital following an appendectomy about 11-12 years ago, I started emailing family and friends to let them know I was okay. At first, I'd just copy and paste how well I improved, but then I started sending the same email to everyone at once. And from that grew a weekly "newsletter" of sorts. What would have been a blog, if I'd've known about blogging back then. With one of the weekly emails, I wrote about Humor in the Bible.

About 6 years ago, I performed standup comedy for my friend's church. Afterwards I wanted more comedy material, so I thought about turning that one email into a standup comedy show. So I added to what I had whenever I came across funny thoughts while reading the Bible.

Two years ago, my church went through the Bible in 90 days, so I made note of any humorous notions I found therein as well.

About two years ago, I sent a rough draft of the book to a friend to proofread, which she did magnificently. She color-coded her response. Red meant hilarious. Blue meant not funny. And no change meant funny, but not hilarious. So I took out the non-funny parts, or I made them funny. And reworked the book several times.

Although I had previously set several end time goals which I had failed to meet, on March 20, 2011, I decided that I would have my book done in four weeks, so I could give my aunt Betty B a copy for her birthday, for which a big party was planned for April 17.

So I worked and reworked, wrote and rewrote, until I finally had a printed book by April 17 to give to my aunt. (Really a proof, but it had the look of a book. Except for the page that says PROOF!) 

Finally I was finished. Until I was ready to create the Kindle edition and worked and reworked, wrote and rewrote again to ensure I made my book the best it could be.

Having published my first book, I've also learned how to host book-signings and how to design T-shirts, mugs, hats, and more!

Now I need to learn how to market better to accrue sales aplenty!
