in which we (finally!) review Jesus Feminist

in which we (finally!) review Jesus Feminist

Jesus Feminist.  It took me months to get through this book – not because it was a difficult read, but because it was a great one.  I would read up to a point, and then I’d have to set it down and just think about it for awhile.  And then life would happen.  And then I’d pick…

Interrupted: for life

Interrupted: for life

If there is only one book you read this fall, it needs to be Interrupted, by Jen Hatmaker.  I’m not kidding. If you’re a follower of Jesus, it’s a MUST-READ.  (And I Say That With Capital Letters.  Because I Really Mean It.) And if you aren’t a follower of Jesus – then I would humbly ask…

7 Quick Takes Friday (vol. 34): happy things

Book Review: Invitation to Tears

Book Review: Invitation to Tears

“A guide to grieving well.”  Couldn’t we all have used one the first time we encountered grief? (And every time thereafter?)

Meet Happy
Simple Felicity is, at its heart, a blog based on the unshakeable belief that happiness really isn't all that complicated. It's often found in the simplest of things: good food, good books, and good company. So those are the things I write about, along with a few other things that really matter to me, including faith and feminism. A bit about me: My name is Happy. I have an amazing talent for misplacing my keys, a deep appreciation for whomever looked at the coffee bean and thought, "Hey, I wonder what would happen if I roasted this?", and road trips to Michigan are pretty much my favorite.
