Christian Humor

Christian Hoodies are for the in Crowd!

Question: What would Jesus wear? Answer: Christian Clothing!

Christian clothing can not only make a fun fashion statement, but it can also make a difference in people’s lives. The idea behind wearing Christian clothing is that the clothing items, be they christian hoodies or fitted Christian tshirts, have a saying that is related in some way to a Bible verse or to the story of Christ. Many times they relate the message about the Good News in a humorous manner as well, putting a lighthearted spin on what could otherwise be an intense topic of conversation.

When you wear christian clothing, the results can be surprising. Some people might notice the slogans on your fitted Christian tshirts, for example, and ask you what they mean. This is exactly what you want to have happen, because it then gives you an easy way to share your faith. It can be frightening to try to walk up to a complete stranger and attempt to start a conversation about their religious beliefs. Not so if you wear Christian clothing, because many times people will actually come up to you to find out what it is all about.

It is also fun to wear Christian hoodies when you go out for your daily workout. You can be walking or running along, and get a friendly smile and a thumbs up from other athletes when they recognize the Christian implications of the logo on your apparel.

This is also another fun use for wearing fitted Christian tshirts and Christian hoodies: mall walking. This is a wonderful way to get healthy exercise, especially in areas of the country where winter weather is not conducive to outdoor exercise. When you wear Christian clothing out on these jaunts, other Christians will pick up on them and come over to say hello, and before long you will have made the acquaintance of new Christian friends, simply by the clothing you choose to wear.

Christian hoodies are also practical pieces of clothing. They make a great warm cover-up for sleeping in on cold winter nights, and Christian hoodies are wonderful to wear right after a shower, because they are both warm and soft. The hood protects your neck and head from cold, and makes for a much more comfortable wearing experience if you are out in chilly weather.

This type of clothing comes in many different sizes in order to fit all body types well. Fitted Christian tshirts are available for those who prefer a slimmer fit in their tshirts. These articles of clothing come in super soft combed ring-spun cotton jersey, so you know that they will be both comfortable and durable to hold up to the daily grind of washing and wearing.

Humor in the Writings of Paul


$16.99


“Christians are to be a joyous people. So it should not be surprising to find humor in the Bible. Wendell Ford explores the use of humor in the New Testament writings attributed to Paul. Humor is not always easy to recognize because it can take many different forms. The use of humor in teaching doesn’t take away from the seriousness or importance of the teaching-and it may even help make sense of an otherwise difficult passage. As you recognize the use of humor in the Bible, your Bible study time will become even more enjoyable. The author has also included an appendix on humor in the Bible in the form of an adult Bible class. If you think humor has no place in religion or in the Bible, you just may change your mind Wendell Ford is a retired electrical engineer who has worked in missile guidance systems, computer speech, and satellite instrumentation. He has taught adult Bible classes since his college days and has designed curricula for adult Bible class programs. He was adjunct lecturer in Math and Physics at Pepperdine University for five years. His hobbies include running, woodworking, and model railroading.”

Laughing with God: Humor, Culture, and Transformation


Laughing with God: Humor, Culture, and Transformation


$34.95


“When Sarah overhears God tell Abraham that she will give birth to a son, she laughs. She laughs “to herself” at the impossibility of her, in her old age, bearing a child (Gen 18: 12). But God’s ways are not Sarah’s ways; God is far more wonderful than Sarah imagines. Of course, Sarah does give birth to a son and names him Isaac, whose name means “to laugh”: “God has brought laughter for me; everyone who hears will laugh with me” (Gen 21: 6). Surely, the ancient audience–aware of the many incongruities in this story–did laugh. But can we in modern times recover the divine humor, the paradox and promise, in this and other biblical accounts? Can we use that sacred laughter as a means to evangelize a world that longs for God every bit as much as the ancients did? In Laughing with God: Humor, Culture, and Transformation, Catholic priest and cultural anthropologist Gerald Arbuckle helps us do just that. With Arbuckle, readers will enter many rich biblical stories and come away laughing, not laughter as in response to a joke or comedy, but a “profound laughter of the heart.” Readers will laugh at Sarah as she laughs at God, and they will laugh together with Sarah and God. Readers will discover divine humor in the parables of Jesus and even in his suffering and death, the ultimate paradox for Christians. In addition to uncovering and recovering humor in Scripture, Arbuckle’s work is a treasure trove of modern examples of humor–from literature, movies, and television–that surprisingly can be a means of transforming cultures to better reflect the kingdom of God.”

 Anthology of Black Humor


Anthology of Black Humor


$18.95


This is the first publication in English of the anthology that contains Breton’s definitive statement on l’humour noir, one of the seminal concepts of Surrealism, and his provocative assessments of the writers he most admired. While some of the authors featured in the Anthology of Black Humor are already well known to American readers-Swift, Kafka, Rimbaud, Poe, Lewis Carroll, and Baudelaire among them (and even then, Breton’s selections are often surprising)-many others are sure to come as a revelation. The entries range from the acerbic aphorisms of Swift, Lichtenberg, and Duchamp to the theatrical slapstick of Christian Dietrich Grabbe, from the wry missives of Rimbaud and Jacques Vache to the manic paranoia of Dali, from the ferocious iconoclasm of Alfred Jarry and Arthur Craven to the offhand hilarity of Apollinaire at his most spontaneous. For each of the forty-five authors included, Breton has provided an enlightening biographical and critical preface, situating both the writer and the work in the context of black humor-a partly macabre, partly ironic, and often absurd turn of spirit that Breton defined as a superior revolt of the mind. Andre Breton (1896-1966), the founder and principal theorist of the Surrealist movement, is one of the major literary figures of the past century. His best-known works in English translation include Nadja, Mad Love, The Manifestoes of Surrealism, The Magnetic Fields (with Philippe Soupault), and Earthlight. Mark Polizzotti is the author of Revolution of the Mind: The Life of Andre Breton.

Becoming a Whole Person: A Year of Devotions Full of Humor, Truth, and Love


$25.95


It”s not easy to become a whole person when you have clumsy feet, bad hair days, and a stature too short to see over the wheel of most American-made cars–but Cid Davidson does her level best. Her stories go out on a limb, but always stay close to your heart. Becoming a Whole Person is a book of daily devotions for everyone: people who have it all together and people who don”t, people without a care and people with a limp in their step, people who are missing something in their life and people who found something last night under the sofa. Keep your copy handy and prepare to be entertained as well as challenged by these daily readings. Read it not only for Cid”s humor and her wise words, but also for daily encouragement to see you through the storms in your life. I highly recommend this book. –Millie Dienert (International Consultant for Christian Women”s Clubs and Stonecroft Ministries) Cid is treasured for her wit, mischief, devotion and depth. She writes with a twinkle in her eye and this gleam shines through in each story she tells. –Wendell G. Johnston (former President of Tyndale College and Executive Vice-President of Dallas Theological Seminary)

 Beliefs and Blasphemies


Beliefs and Blasphemies


$15


Beliefs and Blasphemies exhibits the same qualities–accessibility, deep feeling, wisdom, humor, and technical brilliance–that made Virginia Hamilton Adair’s first collection of poems, Ants on the Melon, into a bestseller and a literary landmark. Here Mrs. Adair devotes her attention to a single theme, religion, but in her brilliant performance the theme’s variations turn out to be wide and deep–from reverence to iconoclasm, from comedy to profundity, from joy to lament. If you are looking for Hallmark platitudes or E-Z faith, look elsewhere. In Saving the Songs, for example, we reconsider Martin Luther’s penchant for recycling barroom tunes into hymns: Said Luther of the singing in saloons, /’Why should the devil have the choicest tunes?’ More soberly, in The Reassem-blage, we are asked to test the extremes of the Christian version of the hereafter– one a verdict brutal beyond imagination, /the other by most reports an eternity of boredom –against our hearts’ hopes. The conclusion? Some myths are too terrible for our believing. Goddesses First muses about the primacy of female deities in many religious myths. Choosing uses the poet’s virtual blindness to explain her celebration of the only distinction her frail vision can discern : the literal difference between night and day. Zen temples and the chapel at a state mental hospital, animism and meditation, whores and angels–this curious, witty, and compassionate sensibility encompasses them all.Virginia Hamilton Adair is a uniquely American poet–restless in her lyrical investigations, hopeful and honest, rigorous in her formal accomplishments, spontaneous in her emotions. Beliefs and Blasphemies will appeal toanyone who has ever thought about first things or final things–anyone who enjoys speculating about how we got here and where we’re going–and it will reconfirm its author’s stature as a national treasure.

 Birds Without Wings


Birds Without Wings


$5.07


Louis de Bernieres’s last novel, Corelli’s Mandolin, was met with the highest praise: Behind every page, said Richard Russo, we sense its author’s intelligence, wit, heart, imagination, and wisdom. This is a great book. A. S. Byatt placed the author in the direct line that runs through Dickens and Evelyn Waugh. Now, de Bernieres gives us his long-awaited new novel. Huge, resonant, lyrical, filled with humor and pathos, a novel about the political and personal costs of war, and of love-between men and women, between friends, between those who are driven to be enemies. It is the story of a small coastal town in South West Anatolia in the dying days of the Ottoman Empire told in the richly varied voices of the people-Christians and Muslims of Turkish and Greek and Armenian descent-whose lives are rooted there, intertwined for untold years. There is Iskander, the potter and local font of proverbial wisdom; Karatavuk-Iskander’s son-and Mehmetik, childhood friends whose playground stretches across the hills above the town, where Mehmetik teaches the illiterate Karatavuk to write Turkish in Greek letters. There are Father Kristoforos and Abdulhamid Hodja, holy men of different faiths who greet each other as Infidel Efendi ; Rustem Bey, the landlord and protector of the town, whose wife is stoned for the sin of adultery. There is a man known as the Dog because of his hideous aspect, who lives among the Lycian tombs; and another known as the Blasphemer, who wanders the town cursing God and all of his representatives of all faiths. And there is Philothei, the Christian girl of legendary beauty, courted from infancy by Ibrahim the goatherd-a great love that culminates in tragedyand madness. But Birds Without Wings is also the story of Mustafa Kemal, whose military genius will lead him to victory against the invading Western European forces of the Great War and a reshaping of the whole region. When the young men of the town are conscripted, we follow Karata
