Mind, Body & Spirit

In his new book, Martin assures us that God wants us to experience joy, to cultivate a sense of holy humor, and to laugh at life’s absurdities—not to mention our own humanity. Father Martin, “official chaplain” of The Colbert Report, invites believers to rediscover the importance of humor and laughter in our daily lives and to embrace an essential truth: Faith leads to joy. “Winsome and comical but also provocative and thoughtful, Martin’s book is a breath of fresh air for those who would take religion—and themselves—too seriously.” —Publishers Weekly
