 "Highly recommended both as a gift to a fun-loving friend or as an addition to the humor section of the church library."

—Mary Margaret Jordan, Augsburg Fortress Book Newsletter

"Birk is the author of a hilarious new book..."

—The Joyful Noiseletter, Fellowship of Merry Christians

Sometimes we just need to laugh at ourselves and at the things we care about. Laughter, after all, is good for our health!

Birk and Espurvoa join their expressions of frivolity in this good-natured book about congregations, pastors, lay people—in other words, about your and my church life.

A great gift!
