"This book reveals the career of a preacher from a unique perspective: embarrassing moments and experiences that in retrospect are humorous because they were so ridiculous. Religious services, weddings, baptisms and funerals are supposed to be demanding of dignity, decorum, poise, and reverence. So why would incongruous things be funny? Perhaps this book will provide the answer.

Stories often shared with and by preachers are now available to the public."
