Laughter was honored by the ancients as a spiritual healing tool and celebrated by the world's great religions. So why aren't we laughing along the spiritual path today? What would happen if we did?
In this personal and funny look at humor as a spiritual practice, Rev. Susan Sparksan ex-lawyer turned comedian and Baptist ministerpresents a convincing case that the power of humor radiates far beyond punch lines. Laughter can help you:
Remove the fearful mask of a God who doesn't laugh
Debunk the myths that you don't deserve joy
Find perspective when faced with adversity
Exercise forgiveness for yourself and others
Reclaim play as a spiritual practice
Healemotionally, physically, and spiritually
Keep your faith when God is silent
Live with elegance, beauty, and generosity of spirit
Whatever your faith traditionor if you have none at alljoin this veteran of the punch line and the pulpit in reclaiming the forgotten humor legacy found in thousands of years of human spiritual history.
