"This book is a revision of the author's essay 'Wisdom, Humor and Faith: A Historical View' which was published in 2011 on The Wisdom Pages website (http://www.wisdompage.com/WisdomHumorFaith.pdf). In the Face of Fear speaks to the loss of thoughtful humor as an aspect of wisdom and how this value is needed in today's world more than ever."--
