You're Not Enough (and That's Okay) by Allie Beth Stuckey

In this book, she uncovers the myths popularized by our self-obsessed culture, reveals where they manifest in politics and the church, and dismantles them with biblical truth and practical wisdom. Allie Beth Stuckey, a Christian, conservative new mom, found herself at the dead end of self-love, and she wants to help you combat the false teachings and self-destructive mindsets that got her there. This book isn’t about battling your not-enoughness it’s about embracing it. We don’t have to wonder what it’s all about anymore. In Jesus, we’re offered a way out of our toxic culture of self-love and into a joyful life of relying on him for wisdom, satisfaction, and purpose. The answer to our insufficiency and insecurity isn’t self-love, but God’s love. Alone, we are not good enough, smart enough, or beautiful enough. We struggle with feelings of inadequacy because we are inadequate. The truth is we can’t find satisfaction inside ourselves because we are the problem. I highlighted this passage from Ephesians: And you were dead in the trespasses and sins in which you once walked. Instead of feeling fulfilled, our pursuit of self-love traps us in an exhausting cycle: as we strive for self-acceptance, we become addicted to self-improvement. My counter was this: you’re not enough, you’ll never be enough, and that’s okay, because God is.

Instagram influencers, mommy bloggers, self-help gurus, and even Christian teachers promise that if we learn to love ourselves, we’ll be successful, secure, and complete.

We’re told that the key to happiness is self-love.
