Publisher's Summary

From one of the sharpest Christian voices of her generation and host of the podcast Relatable comes a framework for escaping our culture of trendy narcissism - and embracing God instead.

We're told that the key to happiness is self-love. Instagram influencers, mommy bloggers, self-help gurus, and even Christian teachers promise that if we learn to love ourselves, we'll be successful, secure, and complete. But the promise doesn't deliver. Instead of feeling fulfilled, our pursuit of self-love traps us in an exhausting cycle: As we strive for self-acceptance, we become addicted to self-improvement.

The truth is we can't find satisfaction inside ourselves because we are the problem. We struggle with feelings of inadequacy because we are inadequate. Alone, we are not good enough, smart enough, or beautiful enough. We're not enough - period. And that's okay, because God is.

The answer to our insufficiency and insecurity isn't self-love, but God's love. In Jesus, we're offered a way out of our toxic culture of self-love and into a joyful life of relying on him for wisdom, satisfaction, and purpose. We don't have to wonder what it's all about anymore. This is it.

This book isn't about battling your not-enoughness; it's about embracing it. Allie Beth Stuckey, a Christian, conservative new mom, found herself at the dead end of self-love, and she wants to help you combat the false teachings and self-destructive mindsets that got her there. In this book, she uncovers the myths popularized by our self-obsessed culture, reveals where they manifest in politics and the church, and dismantles them with biblical truth and practical wisdom.

easy listening

the content was clear and she gives great real life analogies. her stance on self love industry is different and she explains well where the "and thats okay" part comes in.
the reader has life in her voice and reads as if she's telling a story. not monotone like most audio books.

Honest, real life, relatable biblical support for the modern day woman!

This is a book of faith, the bible and God! And the beauty in it’s straight and honest approach is what’s missed in so many modern personal development books ~ faith aside!
So many realisations~ I’m sure at times Allie had been spying on my life pre faith & following the word!
Beautiful read and so authentically delivered in every way.
If you want a book that sugarcoats the modern woman’s need for a strong mindset and the use of affirmations…this is not the book for you! Allie calls out all the fluff that we’ve been fed and provides faith, biblical based ways to turn to God in all facets of the modern day woman’s life.
Love it! Have recommended it twice already!

what every woman needs to listen to

this book is so needed in our culture today ! In a world that is filled with so much depression and anxiety especially in young people, this really cracks open the underlying reason why.

Very religious

If you're not into god or are an atheist, you won't enjoy this. Very much about god.
