Synopsis

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.

Goodreads review by Rachel on May 10, 2020

Allie Beth knocks it out of the park in this book. She tears down the lies culture tells women on a daily basis about who they are, who they should be, they are enough, you need to love yourself, and many more. She once believed these same lies until she had to make a choice. She doesn’t hold back o......more

Goodreads review by Christi on January 10, 2021

I really wanted to love this book. The introduction and first chapter addressed some major problems with the self-love culture and pointed her readers to Christ. The rest of the book she went on political and personal tangents that I felt were unrelated and lacked compassion. She also kept saying th......more

Goodreads review by Mel on April 17, 2020

I walked into this book with high hopes. I was looking for a book that would make me feel better about struggling as a mom, wife and teacher during this Covid-19 quarantine. Sadly this book made me feel like I’m not enough because I’m not conservative enough, because I’m not religious enough. Allie......more

This was fantastic. I have so many tabs and so many things underlined. It's so good, points to Christ which is where we should be looking. Our culture has become so self-centered and this book points out how unfulfilling that mindset is. I recommend this so highly! Such a refreshing read from a Chri......more
