Product Description

An A - Z of their funniest, wisest and most poignant stories, proverbs, jokes and one-liners. A resource book - and more! Intended originally for use by preachers, this stunning collection proved so much fun that it is presented here for a wider audience. Although much is humorous, some material is entirely serious, and all of it entertains with a purpose. Many of the over 400 individual items last for several pages; others are quick quips. Augmenting the text and adding to the 'gift' feel are 25 witty cartoons by Darren Harvey Regan, illustrator of Preachers at Large and Children on the Loose by Murray Watts and Changing World, Changing Church by Michael Moynagh.

Customer Reviews

A very helpfull tool for Preachers and Teachers
This is really a very delightfull book, full of a variety of stories, jokes and words of wisdom. It can be of great help to preachers and teachers who are looking for some "salt and pepper" for their sermons and lectures. But it is also very entertaining reading in itself, and can be recommended for those who are in need of being cheered up a bit.

A Must Read
A must buy! It's full of clean humorous wit and observations. This will really support any youth worker. The messages are strong and thought provoking. Its layout is clear and by no means a heavy read. Well done J John, a compelling read.

Brilliant!!
I totally agree with the other review of this book. I just recieved it this Christmas and I've hardly put it down! It's so funny, but relevant too. Absolutely great book and I'm sure I'll use it loads working in Schools and Youth Groups bringing the Gospel to life.
