Author Interview: Jeanette Levellie, author of “Heart of Humor”
Welcome Jen! Can you give us an overview of The Heart of Humor?
By all means! Here is the back cover copy, which took almost as much time and thought to write than the entire book:
Welcome to a vacation from stress, worry, and global whining. Learn the secrets of how laughter can help you:
- live healthier & longer
- deepen your relationships
- trust a God with the sense of humor that gives a 90-year-old lady a baby.
In her sassy yet down-to-earth style, award-wining author and speaker Jeanette Levellie takes readers on fun trip through 45 short stories with titles like An Outhouse to Celebrate, Confessions of a Jailbird, and Swimsuit Shopping Stress. Accompanying the stories are comical drawings by a professional animator, articles, and lists revealing the superpowers of humor such as Got Pain? Laugh it Away, Everybody Loves Dummies, and Ten Ways to Help Yourself Laugh.
How did the idea for this book come about?
I’d been writing humor columns for a Christian magazine for five years. I had so many on file, I decided to compile the best ones into a book. After writing articles about the benefits of humor and compiling lists of humor quotes and the best funny movies, The Heart of Humor was born. In this second edition, we’ve added 8 cartoons and a new cover, which has a laughing redhead who looks suspiciously like me!
What other books have you written? Can you share a bit about them?
Two Scoops of Grace with Chuckles on Top, my best seller, is a humorous devotional focusing on God’s bottomless heart of grace. Comical drawings from my son accompany nine of the chapters.
Shock the Clock is a fun time management system that focuses on different personality types. A great feature of this book is the list of time management tips by well-known Christian authors, agents, and editors.
Touchable God, features 25 personal stories about how I developed friendship with God through talking to him. The final 20 chapters are actual prayers for friends in crisis.
