| Abstract | "In this book, the author - senior editor of the world's oldest, largest, and pretty much only religious satire magazine - draws on his years of experience deflating religious pomposity and making the faithful laugh to show why humour is so central to the faith, and how to make it a big part of your daily walk with God."--Global Books in Print. |
