Exploring the Themes of Pray, Give, Laugh—A Faith-Based Travel Memoir by Kristin Tomasello
Kristin Tomasello’s new book, Pray, Give, Laugh: Life Through God’s Lens, isn’t just another memoir—it’s a roadmap to a faith-filled life. Written during her travels through Europe, the book captures life-changing moments that shaped her understanding of prayer, generosity, and joy.
Tomasello’s journey began in Paris, where she learned the power of stillness and prayer. Amidst the city’s beauty, she discovered that true peace doesn’t come from external circumstances but from aligning oneself with God’s voice. In Milan, she was reminded that generosity isn’t about how much we give, but about giving from the heart. And in Florence, she found joy in the simplest moments—laughter echoing through the cobblestone streets, reminding her that happiness isn’t just a reaction, but a way of life.
Her personal experiences make this book a compelling read. She shares how growing up as a caregiver for her father shaped her faith and inspired her passion for service. Today, she carries that mission through The Grateful Hearts Center, where children and young adults with special needs can find creative expression through art, music, and mentorship.
Beyond her foundation, Tomasello continues to give back through Costa Sea Suncare, a reef-friendly sunscreen line that supports both skin health and philanthropy. A portion of every sale helps fund her foundation’s programs, proving that business can be a force for good.
For anyone asking, “What is God’s purpose for my life?”, Pray, Give, Laugh offers a guiding light. It’s an invitation to shift focus from life’s uncertainties to God’s promises, embracing a faith that not only sustains but transforms.
