A New York Times Bestseller!We know there are certain things we must have to survive--food, shelter, and safety to name a few. But there are also aspects of life that truly allow us to be joyful and fulfilled. For popular podcaster and bestselling author Annie F. Downs, fun is close to the top of that list. Few would argue that having fun doesn't enrich our lives, but so much gets in the way of prioritizing it. Tough days, busyness, and feelings that are hard to talk about keep us from the fun that's out there waiting to be found.With That Sounds Fun, Annie offers an irresistible invitation to understand the meaning of fun, to embrace it and chase it, and to figure out what, exactly, sounds fun to you--then do it! Exploring some research and sharing some thoughts behind why fun matters, she shows you how to find, experience, and multiply your fun. With her signature storytelling style and whimsical vulnerability, Annie is the friend we all need to guide us back to staying true to ourselves and finding the fun we need.

So Happy to Know You! (A That Sounds Fun Book for Kids)

When a baby is on the way, everyone gets excited, including the little girls and boys who will have a new baby brother or sister to teach, play with, and care for. But sometimes things don't work out as expected. Sometimes a baby doesn't thrive. Sometimes they die and sometimes they can't even be born.\nSuch a loss is hard on everyone--especially young children who wonder what happened to their baby brother or sister. Where are they now? Are they safe? Do they feel sad too? What about all the wonderful things they would have done if they had lived? Will they get to do them in heaven?\nAfter her sister's family suffered the loss of a baby, bestselling author Annie F. Downs wrote a story for her nephew, Sam, about where his baby brother TJ went. Beautifully illustrated by Jennie Poh, Where Did TJ Go? helps grieving families explain what happened and what kind of experiences a child might be having in heaven with the God who loves them and makes everything good in its time. Tender and sincere, this story doesn't shy away from the hurt even as it offers comfort and hope to those left behind.

You don't have to spend every day in the Gospels to be changed, but every day you spend in the Gospels WILL change you.\nNew York Times bestselling author Annie F. Downs knows this from personal experience. It's a truth she learned from a Bible study experiment. What might change if she read all four Gospels--Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John--in thirty days? Enough that, when she finished, she picked up another translation of the Bible and did it again. And again. Over the course of those incredible months, she realized she couldn't keep this experience to herself, and the Let's Read the Gospels podcast was born.\nAnnie wants you to have that same life-changing experience reading the Gospels, and she's helping you do just that in the pages of this daily Bible study journal! Each of the 30 entries\n● shows you what to read on that day 
● offers questions to think about and journal through 
● can be used again and again, as many times as you go through the Gospels\nJoin the growing community of people who are seeing their lives, attitudes, and relationships change as they immerse themselves in the story of Jesus.\nReady? Let's read the Gospels!
