Synopsis

The best of the best―stories, one-liners, and jokes from some of today’s funniest Christian speakers and best-selling writers This new book, like its best-selling predecessors, is packed with the kind of smiles and smirks, chuckles and giggles that thousands of readers have come to love and expect. It includes some of the funniest stories from today’s Christian writers like Barbara Johnson, John Ortberg, Mark Buchanan, Patsy Clairmont, Becky Freeman, Chonda Pierce, and more. Whether the topic is kids, marriage, pets, church, parenting, aging, or life’s most embarrassing moments, the writers will help you keep life in perspective by revealing their own foibles, follies, and failings. Realizing that laughter and faith can go hand in hand, they offer real-life anecdotes that will keep your world in balance even―and especially―when life gets tough.

About this title

From the Publisher:

Laughing, chuckling, chortling--this book will tickle funny bones coast to coast as readers enjoy the pranks and predicaments of some of today's best-known authors. These women have learned the truth that Scripture proclaims: A cheerful heart is good medicine. By sharing their lives' most hilarious and embarrassing moments, they share, too, their assurance that a loving God is at work, firmly in control even if they are not. She Who Laughs, Lasts will encourage readers to lighten up and enjoy life, not because life is easy, but because God is good. Between the covers of one book, it collects the funniest stories from today's funniest women. In the tradition of Chicken Soup for the Christian Soul--with a zany twist, of course!--it will help women put life back into perspective. Barbara Johnson regales readers with her special brand of women only stories. Patsy Clairmont tells of her mortifying pantyhose parade through town. Liz Curtis Higgs shows us how a laugh a day can put wrinkles in the right places. Sue Buchanan, Becky Freeman, Cathy Lechner, Marilyn Meberg, Chonda Pierce, Luci Swindoll, Bodie Thoene, Sheila Walsh, and Thelma Wells are just a few of the authors who share their most laughable moments in order to spread the message of joy to women everywhere.
