Humor with a Point

This is a wonderful collection of short essays, each filled with laugh-out-loud moments and points of reflection. It's great for reading in short bursts (train, bedtime, etc.) and for discussion groups. The author's engaging style draws you in. You sense her dread at returning to confession after a long absence, and chuckle at her Lenten fasting strategies. There are humorous and thought-provoking insights for all - young and old. Non-Catholics will find insights to an ordinary Catholic's views on confession, suffering, stewardship and priesthood. It's a thoroughly enjoyable book for all audiences.
