Publisher Description
How would your life be different if you truly believed you're loved just as you are?" Holley Gerth poses this compelling question at the start of her latest book. As someone who has connected with thousands of women, Holley has seen the dangers of becoming trapped by impossible standards of beauty, achievement, and even spirituality. We believe if only we were perfect we could beat our depression, banish anxiety, and develop the relationships we long for most. Holley shares how God wants to set the hearts of women free by revealing the lies we believe and the scandalous grace and acceptance offered to us instead. When we know we're truly loved, the response is to love in return--and that changes everything.
Bestselling author and every woman's best friend, Holley Gerth helps women lay down their unrealistic expectations so they can embrace who God created them to be, pursue his purpose for their lives, and offer the love they've been freely given.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Author, counselor, and life coach Gerth (You're Already Amazing) encourages women to give themselves grace rather than wallow in guilt over their perceived shortcomings as wives, mothers, friends, and Christians. Living up to unspoken but widely understood cultural standards of physical beauty, financial success, and parental perfection is exhausting and unnecessary, Gerth asserts. She uses Bible passages to illustrate her points throughout the book, never engaging in any finger-pointing or lecturing. Instead, she writes as a close friend would speak gently, lovingly, and honestly. "Don't let perfection' paralyze you. Get in the car and enjoy the ride, my friend," she writes. The book includes a "Go Deeper Guide" for individuals and groups to dig deeper into the subject. Women of all ages and stages of life, from teens to empty-nesters, will feel empowered and relieved by Gerth's reminders that we're not all perfect, nor do we need to seem so.
