Synopsis

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!

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!

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, Just Because, 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!

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.
