Laughter of God, The

by Herb Marlow

Just who is the quiet warehouse worker named Bill Harmony? Disturbed by the shallow sermons and self-aggrandising showmanship of his pastor, Bill confronts Doctor Littlehope privately only to be brushed off as an ignorant layman. An upcoming revival event at the church run by a TV evangelist who claims he can heal and raise people from the dead raises even more red flags. Certain this isn't the hand of God at work, Bill and his friends set about exposing the scam. But there's more to Bill than meets the eye, and when locals begin revealing the miraculous works he's performed quietly, far from the spotlight, everyone, including his close friends, begin to ask, "Who is Bill Harmony anyway?"

I received a free copy of this novel in exchange for my honest review. Bill Harmony lived a simple godly life. All he ever wanted was for people to have faith, hope and peace. Mark Truelove had a small church that ministered to the poor and homeless. Then there was Doctor Littlehope, he has a large church, drives an expensive car and only wears the finest designer suits. He is all about himself and profits gained by his church. Even after many warnings, he refuses to listen. What will happen when the truth is found out?

This was a brilliantly written story about what happens when greed rules and God is not in your life anymore. It certainly makes you realize that the things of this world aren't worth it, especially if you lose your soul in the process. Herb Marlow is a magnificent storyteller, I felt I was in the room with the characters as things transpired. This was a quick short read that I fell in love with and so will you.

God does laugh

Throughout this book Herb Marlow seems to be asking, "Where is God in your life?", a very prudent question for all of us to consider. Lots of chuckles while reading this; really enjoyable.
