What would it be like if church was full of mirth and merriment? Exploring what it would be like to have a more joyous aspect to church, Steve Morris looks at the incarnation, TV's comedy vicars, comedians, clowns, and unlikely Christian humourists such as Martin Luther and St Francis to encourage us to see church from a different perspective. If God has a sense of humour, and Jesus laughed, then shouldn't we too? Challenging, fun, but with a pithy edge, Morris encourages us to think more about the seriousness of being funny and understand why merriment can breathe new life into the church.

Onthou jy nog die dae van donkiekarre, negosiewinkels, hanslammers grootmaak en tiekiedraai in die waenhuis? Die dae toe ’n Engelsman nog iets vreemds vir ’n Afrikaanse plaasseun was en ’n man moes kon briewe skryf om ’n nooi te bekoor? Met Daar doer in Duitswes roep Helm Jooste daardie dae met nostalgie en humor in herinnering. Hy vertel met selfspot van sy eie ervarings in onder andere die ou Suidwes: vertellings wat jou terselfdertyd laat lag en met heimwee en deernis vul. Kom dans op maat van die Rooiduin Orkes tot rooidag; skater en bloos oor die lywige Ant Maryntjie en die tandlose Toks – en droom saam met ’n bobaasverteller oor die “se nou maars” en verspeelde kanse in Jessica se blou oe. Verskeie humoristiese vertellinge van Helm Jooste word in hierdie boekie saamgevat. Meeste van die vertellinge handel oor die ou Suidwes.
