Description
Between Heaven and Mirth explores the often-overlooked yet essential role of joy, humor, and laughter in our spiritual lives. Father James Martin, SJ, argues that faith leads to joy, and that holy people are joyful people.
In this thought-provoking book, Father Martin draws on Scripture, anecdotes from his experiences as a priest, and humorous sidebars to illustrate how joy, humor, and laughter can help us live more spiritual lives. He shows how the parables are often comedic, and how Jesus' sense of joy and playfulness is revealed in the gospels.
Practical advice on using humor to show our faith, understand ourselves and others better, and deepen our relationship with God is also offered. By embracing these qualities, we can enjoy a little heaven on earth and find joy in everyday life.
