MAITLAND, FL—Gary, Elizabeth, and Tara Suess’ new book Joy All Around Us ($20.99, paperback, 9781498494397; $9.99, E-book, 9781498494410) shares with readers that our world is often marked with challenges and difficulties, yet a life filled with joy is available to all of us. By shifting our mindset, making choices wisely and being intentional with our surroundings, we can position ourselves to realize greater levels of happiness. Joy All Around Us takes readers on a journey to recognize the simple joys around them with insight and humor, ultimately leading them to find and increasingly realize the greatest and most sustaining source of joy. Most everyone seeks happiness throughout their lives, but instead get caught up in the striving, troubles and sorrows of this world. Readers will readily relate to the diverse experiences, perspectives, and voices offered by “ordinary” people. Joy All Around Us succeeds in laying out the road map to joy—while managing to entertain and spark feelings of joy along the way!

 

The Suess’ write, “We believe our book offers something for everyone regardless of where they are on their individual faith journey. Our hope is that readers will both be inspired and entertained by its many relatable anecdotes and musings, while evoking fond memories and appreciation of the blessings and joys around them. From there, it is our desire for readers to enrich their lives through intentional positioning and ultimately by being filled with the joy of the Lord.”

 

The Suess family forayed into writing through blogging and writing for a couple large media websites over the past several years. Otherwise, Gary spent most of his career as an executive in financial services, Beth alternated between business and household management, and Tara landed in advertising after college.  It is their individual real-life journeys and the perspectives, insights, and experiences gathered along the way that have inspired and positioned them to write this book. It is their “ordinary” lives, and relatable reflections, that enable them to share a message of hope and joy that resonates broadly.
