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.

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING

I’d like to start by saying that I am Allie’s biggest fan. I truly mean that.
Ever since I started listening to her podcast I quickly realized that I love absolutely every content she puts out. What an incredible and wise woman. A role model to me and so many others.
This book was nothing short of mind blowing and amazing. A gift to anyone who reads/listens to it.
I loved that it was narrated by Allie herself. It just made it that much better and feel like I enjoyed it more than if I had read it.
This book made me cry and laugh and convicted me in so many ways. It’s packed with so much truth and encouragement - a must-read for all women.
Allie has a gift with words and she expresses everything so beautifully and eloquently.
Grateful for the work God has accomplished through her and look forward to reading all the books she writes in the future.

New perspective

A refreshing new perspective in a time such as this. Sometimes it’s a hard pill to swallow that is not all about me, but a necessary pill.

What everyone needs to hear

Allie Stuckey is an amazing narrator and writer. She brings a biblical perspective to issues within our culture and shines a light on the lies we’ve been told since childhood. This book is a must read and will help set you free from toxic ideas you didn’t even know were slowly poisoning you.

Encouraging and Real

I usually hate christian books tailored for women, however, this one was great. If you love Allie Stuckey's podcast, Relatable, then you will love this. Her narration is great. It's a short book that was great for commuting to work. Content is encouraging and...you guessed it, relatable. Recommended for sure.

One of the best books I’ve read.

I absolutely loved this book. The author is genuine and tells biblical truths, which are hard to find. We live in a worked of “me, myself and I” and this book elaborates on the dead end road of self-help and self-improvement without God.

So happy for this Book!

I love how Allie talks about this subject. I love how she is a BSB fan and mentions S Club 7. I idolized BSB and all those late 90's bands/artists. Thank you Allie for telling the truth about how the world can get you even if you are a Christian.
