You Are Enough: Heartbreak, Healing, and Becoming Whole
Mandy Hale, the creator of The Single Woman, the social media movement that rewrote the rulebook about singleness, challenges every woman to see that she is sufficient, acceptable, and complete.
After years of trying to prove she was enough in the world's eyes, even working alongside Oprah and hitting the New York Times bestseller list, Mandy hit rock bottom. But as it turned out, that very rock bottom became the most firm foundation she had ever planted her feet on. A foundation so solid, it finally provided the springboard she needed to outrun the taunting shadow of unworthiness that she'd tried to escape her whole life.
Now she wants readers to see that though life may not always be lighthearted and happy and shiny, each woman is deserving of the life she dreams of and hopes for. Nothing readers do can ever take away from their worthiness or enough-ness in God's eyes.
This book is for any woman who wants to overcome heartbreak, claim her healing and step into wholeness!
"You Are Enough" is a book that most us, if we were honest, would say is something we've wondered from time to time. We want to know if we matter as parents, in our jobs, with our friends, family and just in life? Mandy Hale also has wondered this same question and spends a great deal of time answering this in her newest book.
"You Are Enough" is a memoir of a time in Hale's life when everything was falling apart during a short duration and she found herself depressed. She shares how things went south and how she came through it. At that end of each chapter, she shares encouragement with the reader, which I enjoyed. She also mentions resources at the back of the book.
"You Are Enough " was a great book for me, especially as at point I had struggled with this question during a difficult season in my life. This served as a great reminder that their are areas in my life where I struggle with this question and also where I can encourage those who may struggle with this same question. I appreciate that Mandy encourages readers to seek help and to feel empowered to make that choice. She uses a biblical approach which is foundational to her book and life, but isn't pushy, which makes this book a great tool no matter where you are in your personal walk with the Lord. I give this book 5/5 stars. It was a great read!
Mandy released an e-book in February of 2012 that has gone on to garner rave reviews, and recently signed a two-book deal with Thomas Nelson Publishers. Her first published book, The Single Woman: Life, Love & a Dash of Sass hits shelves this summer.
