Holy Wit

Discovering God’s Sense of Humor in the Bible

By: Geoffrey Schmitt

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Can laughter be holy? Can wit be part of wisdom?

In Holy Wit: Discovering God’s Sense of Humor in the Bible, Rev. Dr. Geoffrey Schmitt takes us on a surprising and joyful journey through Scripture, revealing a side of God—and the Bible—that is often overlooked: humor.

From Sarah’s laugh in the tent to Peter’s midnight knock, from Jesus’ sharp parables to Paul’s biting wit, this book uncovers how holy laughter flows through the pages of Scripture. More than jokes or clever quips, biblical humor often reveals truth, disarms pride, heals wounds, and offers grace.

With warmth, wisdom, and a twinkle in his eye, Geoffrey shares stories from his own life and ministry that reflect the joy of walking with a God who delights in us—even when we stumble. You’ll discover how humor can be a doorway to humility, healing, and hope.

Each chapter includes teaching, personal reflection, a poem, questions for reflection, and a prayer—making this book perfect for personal study or group discussion.

Whether you’re a skeptic of divine laughter or a believer who’s forgotten how to smile, this book will remind you:

God is not only good—He is joyful.

And sometimes, the most faithful response is a good, holy laugh.
