I LOVE talking with Fr. James Martin, especially about the saints!  “Between Heaven and Mirth: Why Joy, Humor, and Laughter Are at the Heart of the Spiritual Life” is fantastic! I don’t think there’s another book like it out there. Fr. Martin takes Scripture, history, the Saints, and the basics of our faith and the spiritual life, and wraps them  all together to bring us a unique and wonderful study of joy and happiness. To say it was uplifting to read would be an understatement.  Others have tried to write humorous books about the Christian faith, but often times their attempts come  off little crass and a tad tasteless….but not Fr. Jim Martin, that’s because it about joy, happiness and grace…and he leads to the well where we can find it.  [powerpress]
