Hallelujah, it's a book! After proving itself to be the andquot;funniest calendar of the yearandquot; (according to Gene Shalit), andquot;irresistibleandquot; (USA Weekend), and andquot;habit-formingandquot; (Maxim magazine), the Nuns Having Fun calendar has inspired Nuns Having Fun, a book of endearing nuttiness.

Catholic kitsch doesn't get any funnier. Written by Maureen Kelly and Jeffrey Stone, pitch-perfect co-authors of the nuns calendar and the New York Timesbestseller Growing Up Catholic, Nuns Having Funfeatures hundreds of sisters in full habit, cutting loose and having a hoot. Here are nuns in the surf (andquot;This is even more fun than walking on waterandquot;), nuns in bumper cars (andquot;We brake for Jesusandquot;), nuns in a beer hall (andquot;Ale Marysandquot;), and nuns in the museum, huddled in front of a study of nudes (andquot;It's okay to open your eyes. Sister Wendy says it's artandquot;). There are nuns on skates, at bat, at the theater, skeet shooting (nuns with guns!), even hitting the slots (you know it's for a good cause). The 125 images are from the 1950s and '60s, black-and-white and possessing a pure retro charm; the written material is all-new. Drawing on their years as parochial school students, the authors explore the lore and legends surrounding nuns, including Favorite Punishments from Nuns, Nuns Say the Darndest Things, How to Recognize a Nun After Vatican II, a Wimple Watch, and List of People Who Could Have Been Nuns.

As Sister says, andquot;To err is human. To laugh is divine.andquot;
