Gleanings from Price Library by Ruth Abbott

Choosing the Amusing by Marilyn MebergJanuary, 2001

The book to bring on the laughter, even a good “belly laugh”, is Choosing the Amusing by Marilyn Meberg. She proposes a “laugh lifestyle” and as she makes her case, you will find yourself smiling at her unexpected ideas, chuckling over her madcap experiences, and finally, roaring with laughter as you read her personal stories.

Marilyn introduces Jesus as the "Great Physician" who gives laughter, love and joy to all who come to Him for health and healing.

Laughter lifts the spirit, cheers the heart, and clears the mind. Come look at the library display of books that should bring on lots of laughter.

Fred Allen, the comedian, used to say that it was bad to suppress laughter because it goes back down and spreads to the hips. Laugh that off!
