How would you react if God told you that you were going to have a child - and you were a 90-year-old woman? Sarah laughed. I suspect that God smiled at Sarah's reaction. Then he asked, "Is anything too hard for God?" Is there anything God cannot do? Actually, there is something God can't do. Find out what it is in Chapter 6.

There is one thing that ruins the Thanksgiving spirit for us in November. I call it the Thanksgiving Killer. And, no, it's not watching the lowly Detroit Lions play football that day. You'll see what the Thanksgiving Killer is in Chapter 1.

Occasionally a church member will approach me and say, "I want to go deeper in my faith." What does that mean? Does it mean they want to get in over their heads? Does it mean they want to learn Greek? Does it mean they want to do a word-for-word study on the Book of Revelation? What does it take to deepen your relationship with God? The answer is in Chapter 10.

What happens when God shows up unannounced in a church, city, or even an entire country? History tells us. What would it take for God to bring another spiritual awakening in our culture? Chapter 11 reveals how it happened in the past and how it can happen again.

Laughing with Sarah is about the journey with God. It's about being all God wants you to be. It's about laughing like Sarah when you face the impossible. It's about being grateful to God and enthusiastic for God. It's about putting things off and starting things over. It's about being obedient and deepening your walk with Christ. It's about living life between the mountaintops and the valleys – where we spend most our time.

Laughing with Sarah can be read individually or as a small group. The small group discussion questions at the end of each chapter will help facilitate dialogue designed to transform your adventure with God.

From Back Cover:

Following Christ is a journey. It's a series of mountaintops and valleys. Most of the time, we are somewhere in between. There are times when God shows us something so unbelievable that we, like Sarah in Genesis, laugh at the ridiculousness of it all. There are also times when he moves us so profoundly that we can do nothing but stare in awe. This is a collection of essays that will trigger thoughts, bring wisdom, and give practical insight to help you along the way - wherever it is you may find yourself - on the journey with God.
