It's Always Darkest Before the Fun Comes Up: Humor and Heart for Life’s Darkest Passages

by Chonda Pierce

Life might be no joke right now--but laughter is on the way. There are two kinds of laughter. One is hollow hilarity that masks pain far too deep for words. The other is a full, joyous laugh that sounds triumphantly on the far side of life's dark passages. Comedian Chonda Pierce knows both kinds. In It's Always Darkest Before the Fun Comes Up , this spunky preacher's daughter will do more than tickle your ribs. She'll touch the place in you where laughter and tears dwell side by side. She'll show you the deep wisdom of a merry heart. And with humor and honesty, she'll reveal the God who knows how to turn life's worst punches into its most glorious punch lines--in his perfect time.

Not quite as funny as I'd expected but very touching. I've seen Chonda a couple times on TV shows but didn't know most of her story. She's been through so much yet keeps her sense of humor and positive outlook on life. Definitely an encouraging book.

What a great testimony story. Chonda is real & honest. Learned a lot about her & her relationship with God.
