Summary

Nothing to Prove : Why We Can Stop Trying So Hard


Lauded by Ann Voskamp as "what your soul is begging for," this bestseller from the founder of the million-strong IF:Gathering invites you to stop striving and discover the answer to your soul-deep thirst. All too many of us struggle under the weight of life, convinced we need to work harder to prove to ourselves, to others, and to God that we are good enough, smart enough, and spiritual enough to do the things we believe we should. Author and Bible teacher Jennie Allen invites us into a different experience, one in which our souls overflow with contentment and joy. In Nothing to Prove she calls us to... * Find freedom from self-induced pressure by admitting we're not enough--but Jesus is. * Admit our greatest needs and watch them be filled by the only One who can meet them. * Make it our goal to know and love Jesus, then watch what He does in and through us. As you wade into the refreshing truth of the more-than-enough life Jesus offers, you'll experience the joyous freedom that comes to those who are determined to discover what God can do through a soul completely in love with Him. * * * * * "These pages are what your soul is begging for" --Ann Voskamp " Nothing to Prove takes us on a journey toward freedom from the need to measure up." --Mark Batterson We love this glorious and universally resounding message." --Louie and Shelley Giglio "This book will help you take your eyes off your problems and put them back on God's promises." --Christine Caine
