Description
No Laughing Matter is a series of reflections on humor, from its nature and necessity to its purpose and effect. The author writes with courage and spiritual strength gained while recovering from a debilitating stroke. Following his first two books: Wipeout: Journey of a Stroke Overcomer and Interrupted by God, Pastor Quam explores the essential role of humor and laughter in recovery and in everyday life. Drawing upon his life and more than 35 years in pastoral ministry, the author dispenses many jokes, illustrations and anecdotes to teach about humor and how God uses it to work in our lives. The book's concluding chapters take the reader on a spiritual journey through Biblical passages and reflections about life and eternity. About the Author Pastor David A. Quam was born and raised in Hawley, Minnesota. A lyric tenor, he sang professionally on the opera stage before beginning his teaching career. He holds both a bachelor degree and a masters degree in music education and taught vocal music on the high school and collegiate level for eight years. Pastor Quam attended North American Baptist Seminary in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. He was ordained in the Christian and Missionary Alliance Church and served as a pastor for 35 years. He still sings in various venues. He and his wife, Carol, have four children and twelve grandchildren and live in Chaska, Minnesota. This is his third book.
