The Mirth Manifesto - Why Merriment Can Breathe New Life into the Church (Paperback)

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. * Explores the relationship between humour and Christian beliefs * Reveals the humour of God and Jesus in the Bible * Includes real life stories of church initiatives including a helter-skelter installation * Examines what TV vicars tell us about how faith is perceived * Reconnects us to the heart of God * Written in an engaging, anecdotal style that is accessible to all * The fourth book in The Rediscovering the Heart of Faith, Life and Everything series * Suitable for anyone wanting to grow in their faith and spirituality * Ideal for any church leaders wanting to create an accessible and relevant church environment
