About the book...
How would your life be different if you were just a bit happier every day for a year? What would you do to enjoy life just a little more day by day? Take your first step toward increased happiness with The Year of Living Happy: Finding Contentment and Connection in a Crazy World by Alli Worthington.
You do your best to live life well—you work hard to be present in the moment, take care of the people in your life, knock it out of the park at work and home. And yet somehow, you still have days (perhaps more than you'd like to admit) where you're simultaneously stressed and bored, and you wonder if you even know how to be happy. Is happiness a worthy goal? Does happiness matter to God, or does He only care about holier things?
Alli Worthington gets it. As a wife, mother of five boys, author, speaker, and entrepreneur, she knows a thing or two about being busy, stressed, and happy in the midst of a crazy world! Over the years, she's seen how happiness gets a bad rap in Christian circles, and now she is standing up to shout the good news from the roof (or the internet, as the case may be): You are allowed to be happy! Yes, you! You can be happy right now!
Get rid of the common Christian misconception that happiness is somehow not holy, and grasp God’s intention for His children—that happiness and holiness can coexist for a beautiful life.
Join Alli for The Year of Living Happy: Finding Contentment and Connection in a Crazy World and find the roots of your happiest life yet! With 100 inspirational devotions, beautiful art, and journaling pages throughout, this gorgeous devotional offers practical ways to make your life happier day by day.
Don’t miss the great big beautiful adventure God has for you right in your own life. Let this be The Year of Living Happy!
My review...
I love reading devotional books, and I’m happy (no pun intended)
to add this one to my collection. The book is a collection of Worthington’s “favorite
and most helpful insights, research, and truths.” It’s designed to help the reader
find happiness, because God wants us to be happy.
The book is a nice size, and the cover is inviting. The
devotions are short, making them easy to fit into your busy schedule. Scripture
verse are mentioned in each one, as well. The author’s personal stories blend
with the verse to give the reader something to ponder. Each devotion contains a
box at the end for journaling/reflection.
Worthington’s latest is divided into twelve parts, and some
of the sections are: Choosing Happiness, Finding Your Happy Thought, Happy In A
Crazy World, A happy Heart Is Good Medicine, and Building a Happy Life. There
are one hundred devotions in all. An attached bookmark is also included, which
is always a helpful addition to a book. This would make a wonderful gift, as
well.
