Laughter that makes your stomach hurt, the perfect cup of coffee, a few moments alone with your Bible - these are moments of joy to be found on even the most difficult days. When you know you can trust God no matter what, lasting joy will be yours. Find your joy in Simple Joys: Discovering Wonder in the Everyday by Candace Payne. Who hasn't struggled with discontent, being overwhelmed, and the fight to be happy? You know that you have much to be grateful for, but sometimes the world feels so heavy and it's hard to recognize the good stuff, let alone find and experience true, lasting joy. Candace Payne, better known as "Chewbacca Mom," reached more than 200 million people when her surprise outburst of joy at the simplest pleasure of a Star Wars mask went viral. Her story of struggling with loneliness, discontent, and unhappiness came out soon after, which made the world question: What makes her different? "I could write a million words, books, and even songs to explain this," Candace says, "but my gut feeling tells me you didn't buy this book for a theology debate. You are reading these pages hoping to find joy - real, authentic, and unwavering in any and all circumstances. The kind of contentment that says, `I'm not only happy, but I'm satisfied as well. I have enough and I am enough.' Because what I've discovered is this: contentment will often lead to more joy." Do you have that kind of joy? Do you want it? Find the secret to happiness, satisfaction, joy, and more in Simple Joys, a beautiful, full-color book that walks you through Candace's journey so that you can replicate it in your own life. Read about several simple ways you can reclaim joy in your day-to-day routine and start living more joyfully today.

Biografía del autor

Candace Payne is a viral sensation and one of the biggest media stories of 2016. Her infectious laugh and joy-filled spirit have gained her positive attention from press, brands and fans around the globe. After a Facebook Live video of Candace trying on a Chewbacca mask became the most-viewed Facebook Live video in history (165+million views), celebrities and everyday people alike became rabid fans of Candace, who is often referred to as the "Chewbacca mom." Candace has appeared on major media such as "Good Morning America," "Entertainment Tonight," and "The Late Late Show with James Corden," where she participated in a sketch with Corden and "The Force Awakens" director JJ Abrams. Candace was also invited to the headquarters of Lucasfilm for a personal tour; to Facebook where Mark Zuckerberg arranged for a photoshoot for Candace and "Chewbacca", the photos of which he posted on his personal Facebook page; and to Hasbro, where she was presented with a "Chewbacca Mom" action figure in front of the entire company. Many of the videos from these appearances also went viral. All in all, Candace has been featured in more than 3000 media outlets. Additionally, Candace was featured in the opening monologue of the CMT Music Awards, performed the National Anthem for the Houston Astros, threw the "first pitch" for the Tampa Bay Rays, appeared at the Grand Ole Opry, and has been invited to numerous red carpet events. After the Dallas police shootings in July 2016, Candace performed her own arrangement of Michael Jackson's "Heal the World" via Facebook Live - a video which quickly went viral and created another wave of media buzz and chatter about Candace's stunning vocals. She later recorded the song, which charted in the top 30 on iTunes within the first few hours of release; all proceeds were donated to the faith-based charity, Convoy of Hope. Candace continues to spread a message of joy through her active social media platform (830k Facebook followers/50+k on Instagram), her lively video series on TLCme, and in speaking engagements around the country. Candace released her first book in November 2017 from Zondervan. She and her husband, Chris, live in Dallas with their two children and their pug, Opal. Connect with her online at candacepayne.me.
