  Sometimes, we fall in love on mission trips even though we know we’ll break up when we get back. Sometimes, you have to shot block a friend’s prayer because she’s asking God to bless an obviously bad dating relationship. Sometimes, you think, “I wish I had a t-shirt that said ‘I direct deposit my tithe’ so people wouldn’t judge me.” Sometimes, the stuff that comes with faith is funny. This is that stuff. Jonathan Acuff’s Stuff Christians Like is your field guide to all things Christian. You’ll learn the culinary magic of the crock-pot. Think you’ve got a Metro worship leader—use Acuff’s checklist. Want to avoid a prayer handholding faux pas? Acuff has you covered.

  The Wait Album - more of the best

  Each week, more than three million listeners tune into Wait Wait . . . Don’t Tell Me! to test their knowledge of the week’s news. In the popular “Not My Job” segment, a celebrity guest must answer three questions on a topic totally outside his or her area of expertise. The topic seems random but is thoughtfully skewed. 
  Because Henry Winkler played Fonzie on Happy Days, host Peter Sagal asks him about Ponzi schemes. For indie rock singer Neko Case, the questions are about Necco Wafers. Baseball Hall of Famer Cal Ripken Jr. holds the record for most consecutive games played; the Wait Wait team pitches him stumpers about sports’ real streakers—those without clothes. Jane Goodall, who studies wild chimpanzees, is met with questions about actor Nicolas Cage. And so on. Twisted and tricky, it’s all in good fun for panelists, celebrities, and especially the audience.Contents:Introduction by Peter SagalNeko CaseHenry WinklerCal Ripken, Jr.Tavi GevinsonMike RoweBrian WilliamsJane GoodallGeorge Porter, Jr.Susan OrleanVince Gill

  What do you get when you mix a 6 year old with a global crisis? If you twirl around, click your heels three times while chanting "there's no place like home," you get a punny joke book! Tired of reading the same boring books? 
  Want to read something funny and learn how to tell your own jokes? Then you've come to the right place! Read laugh out loud jokes in part I and learn my secret joke formula in part II. Learning how to tell your own jokes sparks creativity and creates endless hours of fun; Perfect for subway rides, airplane travels, long road trips and bored days at home. 
  Q: What did the fallen horse say to the other horses? A: Help! I've fallen and I can't "gitty-up!" 
  Clean comedy for the whole family. Perfect for young budding comedians of all ages. Children love to tell jokes to parents, friends, and other family members. 
  A pun is a figure of speech that uses similar-sounding words or exploits multiple meanings of a term. Written by Wolf Cub Chlo, the first section of this easy-to-read book provides a question-and-answer style with several examples of puns. 
  The second section of this children’s picture book teaches children—and their parents—how to come up with a pun by using a similar-sounding word or phrase. Children love a good pun or joke that tickles your 'punny bone. Puns will keep kids entertained ... Puns can also serve as a lesson in spelling since puns often use similar-sounding words that have a different spelling. Knight and night sound the same but have very distinct spellings and different meanings. What do you call a knight who is afraid to fight? Sir Render. Oh, surrender. A pun makes people think of what that word should be or how it should be spelled. I think teachers will benefit from this book by giving children some examples of puns and how to make them up. Often, puns start with a question: What do baseball players eat on? Home plates!"- Readers favorite review, 5 stars
