What if the films Grumpy Old Men and Back to the Future collided in a Sunday school class? Senior citizens are one of the more difficult groups of God’s children to deal with on church campuses because they already know everything there is to know about everything, including how to run a church. In 2007, that was certainly true at Mountain Top Community Church in Mesa, Arizona, a suburb of Phoenix. So, when 56-year-old energy industry analyst Sam Slouch was invited to lead a class for those in the Hospice Preschool community, he wasn’t thrilled.

Humor, Heart, and a Touch of the Afterlife
Revisado: 04-01-25
★★★★★ Humor, Heart, and a Touch of the Afterlife
This book had me laughing out loud with the author’s self-deprecating humor, especially in Chapter 4 when he admits he’s terrible at office politics and just shares whatever he’s thinking. Chapter 12 had me picturing him trick-or-treating 60 years earlier. Dave’s humanity shines through—from his disastrous golf game that grew, to his lack of singing talent, an apology for humor gone wrong, the passing of his adored dog, and his priceless reflections on aging. He made me both laugh at life’s absurdities and ponder the inevitability of death. I couldn’t stop crying-laughing at the story of his friend wanting to slide into heaven on a motorcycle. Beyond the humor, his imaginative take on the afterlife—especially Dave the painter—was both creative and thought-provoking. Chapter 24, reflecting on those who have “graduated” to the next life, felt surreal and deeply instructive as a middle-aged person. A perfect blend of humor, heart, and reflection!
