Nothing to Prove: Why We Can Stop Trying So Hard
Nothing to Prove: Why We Can Stop Trying So Hard | Jennie Allen
12 posts | 6 read | 2 reading | 7 to read
No More Pretending. No More Performing. No More Fighting to Prove Yourself. Are you tired, inside and out? Are you trying your best to measure up yet you still feel as if you re losing ground and missing out on the best parts of life? You are not alone. Jennie Allen understands the daily struggle so many of us face with inadequacy and insecurity and the fear that we are not enough. And she 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. * Stop doing things for God, and start doing things with Him. * Admit our greatest needs and watch them be filled by the only One who can meet them.* Discover how God moves wildly through those who have nothing to protect and nothing to prove. * 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. Discover the answer to your soul-deep thirst Too many of us have bought into the lie that our cravings will be satisfied if we are enough and if we have enough. So we chase image, answers, things, and people and we wonder all the while, Why am I still thirsty? My single goal with this book is to lead your thirsty soul to the only source of lasting fulfillment: Jesus. He is the living water, a limitless supply that will not only quench your thirst but will fill you and then come pouring out of you into a thirsty world. Because of Him, you are loved. You are known. You can take a deep breath. Because you have nothing to prove. Jennie"

All too many of us struggle under the weight of life, convinced we need to work harder to prove ourselves, to others, and to God that we are good enough, smart enough, and spiritual enough to do the things we believe we should. Instead discover what God can do though you just as you are, as the person he created you to be.

It took me a long time to read (new baby), but I got a lot out of this book. It was a great reminder for me to look to God to be all that I need instead of striving to do it all on my own.

I‘m not sure why I keep picking up Christian women‘s self help books. Comparable to Present Over Perfect. A little more aware of race and privilege but still an evangelical perspective on womanhood.

Do you ever feel like you aren‘t equipped to do what you feel God has called you to do? If so, this is the book for you. We live in a world where we live to please everyone but the One who called you to do what He designed you to do. Jennie Allen shares from her own experience how God showed her through Scripture why she had nothing to prove. My favorite quote that continues to echo in my mind, “We often live driven more than we live called”

Just as good in round three. Chapter 11 is the "how to" chapter and I love the practicality.

This is a book to read! (Or in my case.... keep rereading). Grab a friend and read together. Powerful, life-changing pages.

Jesus says: "Let me be your enough. You will be filled and you will be known and you will be free."

I typically have one nonfiction, one fiction and one audiobook going at all times. :-) This is my current nonfiction and I'm reviewing it for my blog as well as writing questions for a group I facilitate. That being said because everyone has loved it so much I kind a wanted to hate it… 😂 But so far I can't put it down, and because I've been a part of IF:gathering for four years now I feel like I'm part of the story.
