"'Look at the birds'
Through the painful days of the pandemic stuck in her home, Courtney Ellis found herself looking down in despair. Soon after, her beloved grandfather died unexpectedly.
It was around this same time that Ellis took up watching birds. 'Took up' might not be exactly right—as she puts it, 'the switch flipped,' and she's been borderline obsessed with birds ever since.
Looking Up is a meditation on birding as a practice of hope. Weaving together stories from her own life, including the death of her grandfather, with reflections on birds of many kinds, Ellis invites us to open our eyes to the goodness of God both in the natural world and in our own lives. By 'looking up' to the birds, Ellis found the beauty and wonder of these creatures calling her out of her darkness into the light and hope of God's promises.
Complete with bird songs at the beginning of each track, this audiobook enhances your experience as you look up and listen to the birds."
"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."
"With the honesty of a close friend, the hilarity of a late-night comic, and the humility of a mom up to her eyeballs in diapers and dishes, Courtney Ellis invites us on a journey to draw closer to God amidst the joyful, mundane, exhausting days of young parenthood. Probing ancient Christian practices for renewal, Almost Holy Mama chronicles one mom's quest to discover an answer to her most pressing question: Can God use the crucible of parenthood to grow us in virtue? Instead of adding more tasks, Almost Holy Mama will help you integrate your spiritual practices into your daily life. From studying Scripture in the shower to listening in prayer at the foot of Laundry Mountain to being forced into the discipline of stillness by a rough pregnancy, Ellis finds that meeting God in sacred disciplines can breathe new life into one of life s most joy-filled and trying seasons."
"This guide is not a formula about what stuff you need to give up. It's about slowing down long enough for God to remind you of his truth and what it means to be his child. Through heartwarming, relatable, and hilarious stories, Courtney Ellis shares her journey from a life of stress, stuff, and exhaustion to one of peace, space, and fulfillment. You'll learn practical tips for paring down your possessions, simplifying your schedule, and practicing the ancient art of Sabbath—even if you're a parent! Uncluttered ushers you towards a lifestyle of holiness and joy in the Lord. Courtney Ellis' sharp wit, clever humor, and profound insights not only will take you on an exciting journey through her walk with the Lord but will also lead you to uniquely experience yours. Find out what happens when you simply put God first."
