" For those of us who would do well to lighten up once in a while, John sets a good example. With his considerable discernment, he saw the fine ironies of life in which those of us who are blind to spiritual truth get caught. And while he went to great lengths to persuade others that Jesus is the Christ, he was not above occasionally having a good laugh along the way. "
