Inhaltsangabe

Waiting in the wings is an untapped power that can transform the craft of preaching.

It isn’t studied or taught because it has been mistaken as trivial or simply the means to get a laugh. What is this ignored superpower? The art of stand-up comedy.

In Preaching Punchlines: The Ten Commandments of Comedy, Susan Sparks brings two decades of experience as a preacher and a professional stand-up to mine the strategies comedians have employed for years. Lessons include framing messages that people will listen to, remember, and share; finding your creative voice; building bridges and community; and bringing full authenticity in the pulpit. The art of stand-up comedy is not just about jokes; it’s about developing intimacy, honesty, and trust—three dynamics that must be present before any sermon is truly heard.

Praise for Preaching Punchlines: The Ten Commandments of Comedy:

"With what I’ve learned, I just may show up preaching at a church near you." —Lewis Black, Comedian

"…this lively, practical, and searching book…will make seasoned (i.e., jaded) preachers think again and look at what is demanded of them in what ought to be the joyful role of communicating the divine comedy of healing and transfiguration." —Rowan (not Atkinson, alas) Williams, Former Archbishop of Canterbury



"A preacher with a motorcycle, cowboy boots, a wicked sense of humor, and a heart that warms you like a huge Southern-style breakfast. That’s my pastor!" —Tamron Hall, Broadcast journalist and television host
