Synopsis

Ken Davis is a very funny guy. And as his friends and family will tell you, he's also a very wise one. After all, who but a wise guy would blow the toilet in his new home to smithereens with an M-80 firecracker? Or end up in a hotel lobby wearing nothing but strawberry underwear and the latest addition of USA Today? Only Ken Davis could pull these stranger than life stories together and use them to drive home insights that cut to the heart of Christ-like living. Because Ken, being Ken, knows what human fallibility is all about. He knows how tough we adults can be on ourselves. He knows how hard we try to appear more together than we really are. And to all of us, he offers two words of very solid wisdom: LIGHTEN UP! Ken's hilarious and touching stories underscore one simple, encouraging theme: God's grace is for you. You're not perfect, but you are perfectly loved by God. So take heart. God doesn't just love you, he enjoys you. No reason you shouldn't, too!

About this title

From the Publisher

Ken Davis has grown up. Well, in a way. He is still the same nutty, overgrown kid-in-a-man's-body who has enthralled America's youth for years with his special brand of hilarity and perceptiveness. But in Lighten Up!, Davis takes his storytelling skills up a notch to deliver a message to adults: You don't have to be perfect; God loves you the way you are. Don't take yourself so seriously; instead, enjoy life and all its ups and downs. Davis fights the conventional wisdom that Christians don't have problems, and through real-life, humorous stories, he bolsters those who feel bogged down by the pressures and expectations of daily life. Just as he does in his popular speaking ministry, Davis moves his readers to laughter, tears, and action. When they catch their breath, readers will realize that not only is this guy funny, but he also has some pretty wise insights into life. Each story is tied into Scripture and delivers a meaningful thought for readers to take away and apply to their own lives.
