This book calls women to look away from new self-improvement strategies in order to find the abundant life and joy God offers them in Jesus.
"Lord knows that we have more than enough books about ourselves and never enough books about the God that created us. It isn't until we see him that we can then make sense of ourselves. I believe Jen Oshman’s book accomplishes that by widening our vision and helping us fall in love with seeing God again."
—Jackie Hill Perry, poet; author; hip-hop artist
Women today feel a constant pressure to improve themselves and just never feel like they’re “enough.” All too often, they live their daily lives disheartened, disillusioned, and disappointed. That’s because joy doesn’t come from a new self-improvement strategy; it comes from rooting their identity in who God says they are and what he has done on their behalf.
This book calls women to look away from themselves in order to find the abundant life God offers them—contrasting the cultural emphasis on personal improvement and empowerment with what the Scriptures say about a life rooted, built up, and established in the gospel.
Contrasts the cultural emphasis on personal improvement and empowerment with what the Scriptures say about a life rooted, renewed, and resting in the gospel
Shares illustrations from the lives of real women
Offers practical ways for women to grow in their faith, confident in God’s love for them
Speaks to the disillusionment many women feel as their lives don’t look like they thought they would
Includes a foreword by popular author Jen Wilkin
