Im Not Ready For This
$18.99Add to cartFrom popular humor writer and social media sensation Anna Lind Thomas comes a second book of charming and uproarious essays that capture our universal need for life to just slow down and give us as minute–we weren’t ready for this!
Anna Lind Thomas wants everyone to just calm down and give her a minute, okay? She’s not ready for this! In fact, through her latest collection of laugh out loud essays, she’ll prove she’s never been ready for anything in her life. Adult decisions, marriage, parenting, crows feet, large pores, skinny jeans– you name it, she ain’t ready for it! She’s never, not once, been ready for swimsuit season. Or her monthly period, even though her iWatch gives her several warnings. She wasn’t ready to look her female professor in the eye after inexplicably whispering I love you during a hug, nor was she ready to leave the hospital with her newborn because she has a bizarre inability to pay attention while someone gives her detailed instructions. Don’t even get her started on that one time she appeared on national TV in a blazer two sizes too small because she thought she’d lose twenty pounds before the shoot. Good grief, she just wasn’t ready!
Through her signature wit, charm, and painful relatability, Anna reminds us that no one’s truly ready for anything–so we might as well go for it and see what happens. She bets it’ll be real good–or at least, real funny.

Wrestling With Faith Love And Gators
$14.99Add to cart“Chad, jump on the gator’s back!” In a split second, a decision had to be made. Did Chad love his future brother-in-law enough to help him control a powerful seven-and-a-half-foot alligator? Ultimately, there was a subconscious devotion that affected his decision. We all face decisions every day. Some of them are small, but others are potentially life-altering. What you decide to do in those split seconds comes down to this: We all have beliefs about life and love, about what is most important, and we all act on those beliefs.

Father Tims Church Survival Guide
$20.95Add to cartIf you have little tolerance for ecclesiastical blowhards; if you’ve ever fantasized about implementing a clergy rating system (CRS); if you’ve ever sought tips on surviving diocesan convention; if you’ve ever tried to weasel your way out of pledging; then this book is for you,” says author Tim Schenck. “My take on church life isn’t for everyone-clergy who take themselves too seriously will hate it. But know that it all comes out of a place of deep love for God and the Church. There are inevitably things that drive us nuts about such an imperfect (i.e., human) institution. Yet if we can’t observe and comment on our own foibles we’re left without much hope. And anyway if God doesn’t have a sense of humor, I’m hosed.””

Como Usar El Humor En El Minis – (Spanish)
$10.99Add to cartThe author’s mission in this book is to break with classical paradigms that discourage the use of laughter and humor as incompatible with the serious nature of the gospel. This material is the product of in-depth research into the history of the Bible, presented in a format that is easily absorbed by any reader. Since the Middle Ages and the Reformation, the Christian church has emphasized spiritual practices such as prayer, praise, devotional reading, and Biblical studies as the pillars of spirituality. But there is another element that hidden there in the inkwell and which appears in the Scriptures themselves over and over again. The laughter, the joy, and the sense of humor constitute an important part of the faith. This book also delivers practical advice about how to articulate humor and laughter in your ministerial work. Something unique about this book is the way it interacts with the Biblical texts, looking at the background of many familiar stories, and finding a sense of humor that was very relevant for the original reader. He also delivers clear information about how to take your first steps toward developing the art of creating humor.

Jesus Laughed : The Redemptive Power Of Humor
$20.99Add to cart“Agony and hilarity,” said Norman MacLean, “are both necessary for salvation.” We Christians seem to know a lot about the agony part, but what about hilarity? Why do we have to remind ourselves so often that the Bible is full of funny and ridiculous stories and situations? Why do so few of the pictures we’ve drawn of Jesus show him laughing? Because we’ve forgotten the redemptive power of humor, that’s why. In Jesus Laughed, Robert Darden-senior editor of The Wittenburg Door, the world’s oldest, largest, and pretty much only religious satire magazine-draws on his years of experience deflating religious pomposity and making the faithful laugh to show why humor is so central to the faith, and how to make it a big part of your daily walk with God.

We Dont Do That Tune Vicar
$15.00Add to cartThere’s nothing like singing a favourite hymn to the wrong tune to get everyone up in arms – the congregation will blame the vicar, the vicar will blame the organist, the organist will take it out, as usual, on the choir who claim they never, ever, sing any other tune. By this and other such common occurrences, a low grade war of attrition is constantly maintained in local churches everywhere. It keeps everyone on their toes. And there is no better observer of the volatile relations between the clergy, the choir and the organist than Reg Frary who has seen it all in almost seventy years’ first hand experience of sitting in the choir stalls Sunday by Sunday. Here are 23 new stories, largely featuring trouble over tunes, which will greatly entertain Reg’s loyal and eager readers.

The world’s best after-dinner speech: I’ll take the check
One thing you can say about an egoist: He never talks about other people.
Preachers don’t talk in their sleep; they talk in their parishioner’s sleep.
Conversation heard after church: “Do you think Madilyn Johnson is tinting her hair?” “I don’t know; I didn’t see her.” “Do you think that dress Mrs. Hansen was wearing should be paraded before God-fearing people of the church?” “I didn’t notice that, either.” “A lot of good it does YOU to go to church.”

You Dont Look Like A Minister
$12.95Add to cartHere are candid observations and quips from a minister with over 35 years experience. These 36 delightful essays will be instantly recognized by anyone who serves a parish ministry.
Consider …
You can never hide the fact that you are a clergyman.
Maybe it’s the way we usually sit down front it could be the shameless way we sing hymns as though they were meant to be heard. I’ve gone to church in a sport shirt and pastel slacks and had people say to me, “You don’t look like a minister, but you sure do sing like one.”Personally, I’ve always thought of heaven as down, like down in the Caribbean in February.
The ad in the church supplies magazine said, “We put the van into evangelical.” It was from a company that sells buses and other vehicles to churches. If you can’t afford a van look what Peter did with only a pair of sandals and a heart of love.
During a sermon, a spider dropped down from the end of the microphone. Ordinarily, I can take spiders, but in the middle of a sermon, I don’t need any more distraction. I get enough sirens, coughers and bookdroppers — and people who sit there grinning and I can’t figure out why.
