let's talk about happiness ☕️📖 | a café date & book review ✨

does God want us to be happy? 🤔 come along with me to work at this quaint little café (which i immediately fell in love with… 🥹☕️🥖) — & chat about “happiness” by andrew wilson! (spoiler alert: i really enjoyed this read…) biblical foundations for happiness? practical ways to *spark joy*? different flavors of happiness? there’s so much to discuss (: note: this chat is merely a glimpse into the contents of this helpful book — one that i think is especially relevant today, in an era where things can feel a bit bleak, and joy in the Lord is hard to find. 📚 BOOK REVIEWED: ”happiness: what it is, where to find it, & how to make it last forever” - by andrew wilson 💌 note: Crossway kindly sent me a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review! all thoughts & opinions are my own.
