Between Heaven and Mirth: Why Joy, Humor, and Laughter Are at the Heart of the Spiritual Life by James Martin
3.0
I really enjoyed this book, but found parts f it hard to get through. I liked reading it because Father Martin is right - it's often hard to see the humor in spiritual life. Fortunately, I the religious communities I was raised in and continue to participate in have always had a strong enjoyment in joy and humor, but it was interesting to read about the background of the Church and to read actual examples from the bible to better understand my own faith. It also really makes you think about your relationship with God, so I particularly liked the questions that asked you to reflect throughout the book.
