Happy Now Courtney Ellis

When was the last time you felt really, truly happy? If you've ever longed to leave your exhausting days and fretful nights behind, look no further. Author Courtney Ellis recounts a courageous and often hilarious experiment in joy and delight as she awakens to the truth that God doesn't just want us to be holy--He wants us to be happy too! Happy Now is designed to invite listeners to let go of their most serious selves, grant them permission to engage in curiosity and wonder of all kinds, and delight in the release of its transformative effects: creativity, innovation, delight, rest, and, above all, a more trusting relationship with Jesus. Through wry observations, first-hand experience, Scriptural study, and broad research, Ellis addresses questions such as these: - How does God invite us into play? - What does it mean that we are created for curiosity? - In what ways can wonder help us love our neighbors more fully? Happy Now is a rollicking, investigative, and thoughtful invitation to open ourselves to the joy and freedom of play all over again.
