A Stand-Up Comic Sits Down with Jesus: A Devotional?

by Rich Praytor, Mike G. Williams (Foreword by)

Overview

What would happen if comedy were combined with growing deeper in your faith? You would have a fun devotional for learning more about God. One of America's top comedians brings his unique style to an unlikely venue--a devotional? Laugh out loud with Rich Praytor as he looks at the humorous side of everyday aspects of life, such as marriage, money, or work while discovering something about God and his plan for us. Made up of 31 chapters (representing a full month), A Stand-Up Comic Sits Down with Jesus starts each entry with a clean, funny joke followed by a Scripture reference, and some thoughts on that particular subject. Just try to keep a straight face when reading Keeping a Journal, Being Too Churchy, Honoring Your Parents, and Marriage II. This is a devotional like no other! Author also includes two "intermission" chapters of personal reflection.
