The BookViral Review:
Robert. D. Dean’s unapologetic ‘Faith and Funnies-Wit and Wisdom from the porch swing contains a plethora of short but deeply perceptive observations. Encompassing a wide spectrum of issues, from Biblical truth to plain old-fashioned common sense, Dean gives us much to ponder.
Cuttingly insightful social commentary relayed through carefully constructed snippets explores the intricacies of life in a way that is refreshingly familiar and accepting, leading the reader gently towards thought-provoking reflection.
Gone are the days when the shrewd older generation would sit on that porch swing, coaching the younger in the ways of the wise, handing down the sum worth of life’s successes and failures and lessons learned. However, Dean’s mature musings lend wisdom to day-to-day considerations of faith, culture and humanity, allowing contemplation opportunities in the modern hectic rat race of life most find themselves part of.
Covering widely differentiated subjects such as social stigma, relationships and social etiquette, along with the value of appreciating a higher power at work in the world and our lives, ‘Faith and Funnies’ lends a perceptive look at all areas of human life and interaction. Dean refreshingly highlights amusing differences between gender and age, at times delicately self-deprecating, but always sagacious.
Born through daily social media musings over more than ten years, ‘Faith and Funnies’ brings these to the reader in one volume, not designed to be read in its entirety, but rather (forgive me!) as a coffee table or bedside book. One to be dipped into or reached for at low times; a testament to human nature, of the ability to laugh at ourselves as a human race, and to be reminded of the wonderful complexities of our imperfect but impressively unique brains.
Firmly recommended for all; for the young and inexperienced for its sage wisdom, and for the old, to remind us of how far we’ve come…
