Happy Now

Let Playfulness Lift Your Load and Renew Your Spirit

De: Courtney Ellis

Narrado por: 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, firsthand 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.

Exactly what I needed

What’s beautiful about Courtney Ellis’ “Happy Now” is that she asks her reader to rediscover play on the heels of her own journey to do the same. She’s not a play therapy expert and her book is not about big sweeping gestures or overhauling our lives.

It’s about bringing out the delight in our everyday moments. It’s about noticing and being intentionally present.

I experienced “Happy Now” as audiobook, and as I listened, I could almost swear Courtney was smiling as she read it to me. Happiness from start to finish. It was a reset after a tough season for world.
