Ron Birk's book St. Murphy's Commandments is one of those books you laugh at while reading it. Murphy's Laws says "If anything can go wrong--it will" and we know there are no saints called Murphy. Minister, writer, and speaker the author pokes fun at the church, ministers, lay people, and parishioners. The "commandments" are anecdotes about every aspect of the church accompanied by illustrations by David Espurvoa. An example is "Eve's Tenet of Temptation: Each of us has our forbidden fruit." This is shown with a drawing of a woman ready to dig into a large ice cream sunday. Another is "The Don't-Print-Them--and-They-Will-Come Code: The fewer bulletins printed, the more people will attend worship that Sunday." This is a cute book for any church going individual or minister. The author and publisher have given permission to reproduce the cartoons for church publications provided proper credit is given on each cartoon or "commandment."
