The Happiness Dare: Pursuing Your Heart's Deepest, Holiest, and Most Vulnerable Desire by Jennifer Dukes Lee
Book Overview:
Would you like to be happier?
No matter who you are or how you feel, chances are you would answer yes. And Jennifer Dukes Lee was no different. For years, she wrestled with a constant nagging sense that she wasn’t as happy as she could be. At the same time, she felt guilty for wanting something so “shallow.” After all, doesn’t God only care that we find joy in our circumstances? Or is it possible that God really does want us to be happy?
Determined to get answers, Jennifer embarked on a quest to find out whether our happiness matters to God and, if so, how to pursue it in a way that pleases him.
Will you take the dare? Join Jennifer in the pursuit of your truest, most satisfied, and most faith-filled self.

This will be my fourth book group study gathering with Debbie, and I’ve enjoyed each one of them. The books are interesting, with different focuses but each helping me to cultivate my relationship with God. Our gatherings are fun and informative. The life coaching sessions are amazing. In my last coaching session, Debbie gave me space to vent while pulling out emotions in me that have been hidden. That’s why I keep coming back. It’s that good. - Cindy
Having such a busy life, reading can easily be put last but being a part of the Invitations from God changed that! The book alone had me jotting down notes and reflecting on myself. I looked forward to the book club gatherings that were so full of discussion and perspectives and opened my eyes even more. The follow up one on one allowing me the opportunity to expand my thoughts and keep it real on topics that I didn’t realize were buried deep within. I cried, I learned and I’m continuing to grow. I’m so thankful. - Eryka
The online Bible Studies and Book Discussions have been awesome and have helped me to increase my study time, to have a closer and deeper relationship with the Lord and has grown my sisterhood circle. Please sign-up for a session today. I promise you will be glad you did! - Yolanda
This group has made me realize that the circle of friends that I have are not helping me to grow spiritually. In all honesty, the enemy almost convinced me not to see what these meetings were about. So, thank you again. - Ruth
