...He anchors his discussions in provocative analyses of humor and provides his own critical insights throughout the book, which are astute and informative. In addition, this is a very funny book... Rarely does one read a book in which one thinks and laughs so hard at the same time. It is clear that Don Capps appreciates humor...This book, well worth the time of pastors, chaplains, pastoral counselors, educated laity, and anyone who wants to think more deeply and laugh more loudly about ultimate concerns. -- Larry Kent Graham * Interpretation *
