The Preacher’s Joke Book: Stories, One-Liners and Clean-ish Humour for Sermons, Speeches and Occasions

Humour you can actually use.

These aren't just jokes about church. They're jokes collected, adapted and told over years of preaching and public speaking — chosen because they can actually work in a room.

Whether you need a gentle way into a sermon, a laugh for a speech, an icebreaker for a church event, or simply something to loosen up a room, The Preacher's Joke Book gives you more than 150 jokes, stories, one-liners and bulletin bloopers designed to be told aloud.

Some jokes are quick. Others build slowly. Many can be localized, adapted or made your own. Each one includes Good for talking about themes to help you quickly find material that fits the moment, with delivery and adaptation notes where they are useful.

Written for the ear, not just the page, this is a practical humour resource for preachers, clergy, worship leaders, speakers and anyone who occasionally needs to lower the temperature, open the room and help people lean in.

Good laughs. Good timing. Good message. That's the goal.
