Keisha Davis said This book has changed my life in the best possible way!. Honestly, this book changed my life. I have been in bondage for years over this idea that I have to be perfect. For as long as I can remember, I have strived to show the world that I am enough… That I am good enough to measure up to all the expectations placed on me by society, my people, and myself.

Book is absolutely excellent. Jennie really speaks to where I am in my life right now. She's good at speaking to all life stages and groups. The product arrived looking great.

Stop doing things for God and start doing things with him. Because you have nothing to prove. You are known. Jennie Allen understands the daily struggle so many of us face with inadequacy and insecurity and the fear that we are not 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. - Jennie. 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. And she invites us into a different experience, one in which our souls overflow with contentment and joy. Make it our goal to know and love Jesus, then watch what he does in and through us. Because of him, you are loved. No more performing. Disc
