Sweet examines how Jesus laughed, hung out with friends, played with children, enjoyed good times at social gatherings, and poked fun at pious pretensions. Using as its hook the life of Jesus, this book details the ways in which Jesus lived a disciplined life and healthy existence and illustrates the ancient truth: "Being cheerful (is like a medicine that) keeps you healthy. It is slow death to be gloomy all the time".--Proverbs 17:22, Good News Bible.
