Laugh It Up! : Embrace Freedom and Experience Defiant Joy
Laugh It Up! tells the rest of the story behind the woman in the mask. Like most of us, Candace has often felt overlooked, undervalued, and insignificant. But she has also discovered the secrets to unshakable joy that no circumstance can take away, and Laugh It Up! will help you discover and experience the same.
Join Candace to discover the gift God has given us all to experience life to the fullest. All you need to do is answer “yes” when joy, whom Candace personifies as a friend, calls you to come and play.
- Do you feel tempted to give up on your dreams? Joy stays the course.
- Do your knees knock when thinking about the future? Joy hopes for what can be.
- Do you feel unseen and unnoticed? Joy is content whether backstage or center stage.
- Do you feel crushed under the weight of regret? Joy loves you enough to weep with you, but also enough to help you move on.
When life punches you in the gut, it can be difficult to muster a smile—much less a laugh. But with humor and power, wit and wisdom, Candace lights the way forward to a life that is free indeed.
Simple Joys: Discovering Wonder in the Every Day
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.
“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.

You Belong: Because God is Who He Says He Is
Sometimes our biggest questions are answered in ways we just didn’t consider. With insight and exuberance, Bible study teacher Candace Payne walks through the five ways God names Himself in relation to us and how each name adds a layer of truth to how we belong. It has nothing to do with us, but everything to do with Him and He meets us at every turn to prove it.
The study guide for You Belong must be experienced to get the most fun out of doing this study with your group! Each of the six sessions includes sections called Warming Up, Press Play, and Belong Together. During the Belong Together time, your group has the option to enjoy several activities:
- Pit Stop (do something interactive together)
- Explore the Idea (talk about the main concept)
- Unpack Some Truth (look closer at Scripture)
- Off the Beaten Path (do a group exercise)
- Souvenir Shop (take home something useful)
- Prayer of Belonging (pray over each other and yourselves)
Then, in-between sessions, you get to fill up with Fun Work (not homework!), where you spend time with God in activities, prayers, and curated experiences.
Sessions include:
- Do I Belong?
- The Good Shepherd
- The Heavenly Father
- The Bridegroom
- The Head of the Body
- The Source of Belonging
This study challenges you to get honest and real with each other, and it will inspire you to think differently and respond to all things more like a true Child of God.
