This book calls women to look away from new self-improvement strategies in order to find the abundant life and joy God offers them in Jesus.
âLord knows that we have more than enough books about ourselves and never enough books about the God that created us. It isnât until we see him that we can then make sense of ourselves. I believe Jen Oshmanâs book accomplishes that by widening our vision and helping us fall in love with seeing God again.ââJackie Hill Perry, author; Bible teacher; hip-hop artistâCountless voices are telling women, âBelieve in yourself . . . reach your potential . . . find your purpose . . . fulfill your destiny.â But Enough about Me has a very different message, a message that is not only countercultural but also runs counter to todayâs Christian culture: your life is not ultimately or most profoundly about you, but about the one who has made you his own. This is the kind of good news women really need.ââNancy Guthrie, author; Bible teacherâThe siren call of self promises much but provides little. While the world tells us to want more, do more, and be more, Jen Oshman turns our eyes from ourselves and helps us to find our lives in Jesus, the giver of every good and perfect gift. Written with warmth and wisdom, Enough about Me is an encouragement to something better, something richer, and something true.ââMelissa B. Kruger, author; Vice President of Discipleship Programming, The Gospel CoalitionâJen Oshman deftly walks through a variety of challenges to following Jesus in the modern world. Each time she helpfully exposes the shortcomings of living for the self, while also pointing to the joy of living for and in Christ. I will give a copy to each of my daughters and pray they absorb Oshmanâs godly instruction.ââJonathan K. Dodson, Theologian-in-Residence, Citizens Church, Plano, Texas; Founder, Gospel-Centered Discipleship; author, The Unbelievable Gospel; Here in Spirit; and Our Good CrisisâFor many years now I have benefited from Jen Oshmanâs writing. Iâm delighted that she has broadened her repertoire to include this book. In an age obsessed with self, its message is delightfully countercultural and desperately needed.ââTim Challies, author, Seasons of SorrowâEnough about Me is for those who feel tired, burned out, or like theyâre not enough. Jen Oshman kindly encourages readers to look away from themselves and to look instead to Jesus, powerfully reminding them that true, lasting joy is found only in him. This book will lift your gaze in a way that will change your life.ââHunter Beless, Founder, Journeywomen; author, Read It, See It, Say It, Sing It! and Amy Carmichael: The Brown-Eyed Girl Who Learned to PrayâThis book had me hooked right from the start. I guzzled my coffee as I considered the common struggles of despair and disillusionment Jen Oshman describes. But the real triumph is the way Enough about Me turned my eyes to the one who defines my life and gives me joy. This is a must-read for any woman running on empty because her âfuel of selfâ has run out. Our empty hearts need to find full dependence on God.â âEmily A. Jensen, coauthor, Gospel Mom and Risen MotherhoodâIn a time when our greatest value is self and the lure of this world tricks us into believing we can have it all, I canât think of a more necessary and relevant book for todayâs women. Jen Oshman masterfully ushers us to where greater joy is found by redirecting our gaze from ourselves to Christ. If youâve ever had it all only to be discontent, or youâve been discontent with all that you have, this book is for you.ââShar Walker, Senior Writer, North American Mission BoardâEvery day, disciples of Christ are bombarded with competing information for how they can live their best lives. Whether itâs chiseling your arms at the gym, keeping a smokestack of essential oils pumping in your house, or promising to never buy frozen chicken nuggets againânone of these things will sustainably complete you, calm you, or comfort you. The focus on self is crushing us. Jen Oshman reminds readers that the more we focus on me, the more out of focus we become. Sisters, there is only one place to look that will secure the good life you truly need: âChrist who is your lifeâ (Col. 3:4). And in this book, thatâs who Jen Oshman points you toâJesus and all his glory. Take up and read. We can never get enough of him.ââJ. A. Medders, author, Humble Calvinism; Director of Assessment, Acts 29
