Laughing Pilgrims

Humor And The Spiritual Journey

BY HOWARD MACY
Humor floods our lives. We use it to entertain, to reduce stress and promote health, to smooth social interactions (or to make people bristle), to sell products of all kinds, to persuade about ideas, and much more. Humor is an important and often overlooked part of the spiritual life. Humor skills can be learned so, in an accessible and funny way, Laughing Pilgrims: Humor and the Spiritual Journey aims to teach readers effective skills for interpreting and creating humor in their daily lives. Whether it is a 'spiritual gift' or 'spiritual discipline' humor (and its distortions) can powerfully reveal and shape our spiritual development.

Where Two Or Three Are Gathered... Someone Spills The Milk!

BY TOM MULLEN
The Apostle Paul wrote: "I do not even acknowledge. my own actions as mine, for what I do is not what I want to do, but what I detest." Contrary to what many Americans may think, Paul had not just returned from a PTA meeting. Tom Mullen's reflections on teenage music, taking a son to a baseball game, joining the PTA, and mealtime togetherness are just some of the occasions for learning and laughter in this delightful book. You'll find yourself and those you love on these pages and come away knowing that we are all loved beyond anything we do or say...especially at the dinner table.
