And now she’s finally ready to tell her full story.In Life Is Funny until It’s Not, Pierce recounts a preacher’s daughter’s childhood filled with heartbreak, including abuse, her parents’ divorce, and the sudden deaths of her two sisters in the span of two years. Even after she achieved success in her comedy tours, trials and tragedy dogged her through marriage, motherhood, and widowhood. But God was there with her through every sorrow and every joy.
This story of unshakeable hope and faith will inspire readers to turn to God and trust his faithfulness.
Chonda Pierce has a white-knuckle faith–the kind you almost dare to have taken from you. And she wants her readers to share her unapologetic courage to hope–as well as a few laughs along the way.

I Can See Myself In His Eyeballs
$12.99Add to cartWhat would it be like to get so close to God that we could see ourselves in his eyeballs? Not because we want to look at ourselves, but because we want to be that close to him–to the mysterious, wonderful, invisible God who reveals himself even in temptations, trials, and dangers.
Can you see God when your husband gets a speeding ticket? What about when your daughter wrecks her grandfather’s truck? Is he watching while you drive down the road in a Chevette held together by wire coat hangers?
With her usual sense of southern humor, Chonda Pierce invites us to open our eyes and our sense of humor as she teaches us how to catch God at work, especially in the most unlikely places. Like the time she got her ears pierced–contrary to the advice of her mother. She walked out of the jewelry store, saw two nuns, took them as a sign from God, and never wore pierced earrings again.
Chonda the comedian has touched thousands of women around the country, from stage or on video. “To see or hear her is to love her,” is the unanimous response. But in her writing, Chonda brings a whole new depth of insight into her humor–humor that enables readers to dispel all gloom and experience the joy of the closeness of God in their everyday lives.
