From Humor to Inspiration: Jokes, Reflections and Quotes to Enliven Your Day

“From Humor to Inspiration”, by noted pastor and speaker Fr. Mathew Vellankal is a rare blend of laughter-inducing jokes and soul-searching reflections. Humor is the best antidote to boredom. Humor is a great leveler — it cuts through class, status, position or other ranks. Ability to laugh at the funny stories and trifles about others will help us also to laugh at our own foibles and mistakes, to rid ourselves of our false ego. Humor can help remove anxiety and tension. I would say a chuckle in time can save you a few wrinkles on your forehead; a hearty laugh might help ward off even a heart attack! From Humor to Inspiration takes you beyond mere lung- splitting laughter. It leads you to ponder on the more precious values that guide our life. The inspirational messages and thought provoking reflections, apt quotations from Scriptures and pithy sayings in the book help one to look at life with a totally new perspective.
