Dedication

I dedicate this book to God, who created me; to Jesus, who saved me, and is the source and foundation of this book; to the Holy Spirit, who guided and inspired me from beginning to end.

I also dedicate this book to my mother and father, Clara and Luigi Di Paolo, who are in Heaven, for their love; who instilled in me a strong work ethic and desire to always strive for excellence in all that I do. More importantly, I thank them for their prayers and love for Jesus Christ.

I also thank Gavin and Patti MacLeod, who for several years kept nudging me to publish this book. Their persistence, passion, and enthusiasm finally worked. And here we are…

A special thanks to Bill Kurtz, my Jewish friend, who was always there for me when I ran out of gas!

I especially want to thank my wife Kathy for her love and support.

With the greatest of sincerity, I admit that I could have not completed this work without her.

I want to thank TBN for including me in their family, for whom I have the greatest respect, appreciation, and gratitude. They have been a source of spiritual help and consolation during my darkest hours for over forty years. I love TBN and support them whole-heartedly.

Introduction

In A Loving and Funny God, the author uses God-inspired language to challenge the readers to reset their minds and take a refreshing new look into the heart of God and listen to Him as never before. Thought-provoking words are infused with Godly wisdom, knowledge, common sense, new perspectives on life, people, God Himself and, yes, humor too.

The author invites the readers to take this spiritual journey that will take them to a place of inspiration and joy; a delightful and rewarding experience as your spirit jumps with laughter. Be ready and willing to suddenly giggle as a child, as God speaks to you.

Prologue

Jesus was also a man. Jesus was a human being who ate food and drank wine. As a child, He played with other children, obeyed His parents, and worshipped the God of His fathers. He lived an exemplary life before God, His family, and all who knew Him. He worked as a carpenter with His earthly father. He intermingled and socialized with thieves, prostitutes, tax collectors, religious leaders, lepers, adulterers, and even Roman military leaders.

Jesus was also a man. He understood and loved humanity; a fact that is ostensibly and glaringly evident as we see Our Lord attend special events, dinner parties, weddings, and funerals. Jesus
