Laughing over Serious Matters: Stories to Make You Laugh and Reflect

Publisher Marketing: This collection of true life stories loaded with life lessons is guaranteed to make you laugh and laugh ... and then learn. The book should not be read by anyone allergic to laughter. But whether you laugh or not, it will stir something in you. Chris Ekpekurede opens up his humorous side, as he unravels uncommon perspectives of everyday life experiences to bring out the serious issues hidden in them. The book is like finding gold in the midst of dust. Despite the seriousness of the lessons that these stories teach, laughter looms large in the book's main thrust, as the stories Make You Laugh and Reflect. Says the author, "If we do not make a conscious effort to laugh over some of the serious matters of life, we will allow them to permanently drown us."
