Description
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.

I cannot tell how much I needed this book. Often I focus on myself for negative reasons, and I focus on others, almost obsessively to the point it controls my life, thoughts, and worries. This was a book that spoke to me and how to focus on myself and my closeness to depend on Jesus. Highly recommended for those who need the reminder that they are important and have nothing to prove to borrow from the title.

Jennie Allen writes with passion and energy, Nothing to Prove started out a little slow but I knew it was a subject I wanted to dive into so I persevered. I’m so glad I did because this book rocked my world. Allen weaves Scripture with her own personal experiences and advice for the reader so seamlessly that I found myself having to slow down to properly savour the magic!

Loved the topic of this book! The reflection pages were great as we're the little recommended activities for each section. I also appreciated the book study questions provided at the end.
