A light-hearted collection of drawings and rhymes that reflect the
complex and multi-faceted nature of the human condition in a
humorous manner. || Open our book and savour each page, | Join our
Fantabunals on a sunlit stage, | Happily sharing their inner lives
- | Feelings of joy, passion and strife. || That's all it is, yet
so much more: | A flow of verses and colours galore! | Enter our
world of hues and stanzas, | A show just for you, an extravaganza!
|| Here you might find that you're not alone | In your hopes and
dreams or fears and groans, | And in reading our rhymes (strictly
no prose!) | May you find a moment of gentle repose.
How does one play bridge in a gas mask? Or enjoy motoring without
consuming petrol? Or deal with a nationwide shortage of pea-sticks?
For this compact little book Heath Robinson joined forces with
writer Cecil Hunt to show civilians 'how to make the best of
things' during the air raids, rationing, allotment tending and
blackouts of the Second World War. The result is a warm celebration
of the British population's ability to 'make do and mend'.
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. Content Benefits: By asking questions such as whether
God has a sense of humour and did Jesus laugh, this book will
encourage you to adopt a more joyous attitude towards your faith. *
