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, but happy, too
Happy Now is designed to invite readers 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.

A whimsical storyteller who combines witty humor and engaging research with unfettered honesty, in Happy Now Courtney Ellis is a wise guide on an uplifting journey from sad to spirited. You'll discover there is almost nothing that playfulness cannot make a little bit better, a little bit easier, and a lot more fun. Lift your mood, lighten your load, and renew your spirit with the power of playfulness.

Sometimes that looks like welcoming holy laughter. Other times it's learning to see mistakes as learning and innovation rather than mess-making. Play brings about transformation and rest and praise. And isn't that just the reason God created us?
It's time to get serious about playfulness
