YOU'RE NOT ENOUGH (AND THAT'S OKAY)

Allie Beth Stuckey

Escaping the Toxic Culture of Self-Love

Is your quest to love yourself more actually making you miserable?
We're told that the key to happiness is self-love. 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. But the promise doesn't deliver. 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.

The truth is we can't find satisfaction inside ourselves because we are the problem. We struggle with feelings of inadequacy because we are inadequate. Alone, we are not good enough, smart enough, or beautiful enough. We're not enough--period. And that's okay, because God is.

The answer to our insufficiency and insecurity isn't self-love, but God's love. 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. We don't have to wonder what it's all about anymore. This is it.

This book isn't about battling your not-enoughness; it's about embracing it. 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. In this book, she uncovers the myths popularized by our culture of trendy narcissism, reveals where they manifest in politics and the church, and dismantles them with biblical truth and practical wisdom.

Allie Beth Stuckey is host of the Blaze Media podcast Relatable, where she tackles theological, cultural and political issues from a conservative, Reformed perspective. Stuckey speaks to college students, Republican organizations, Christian ministries, and businesses across the country about the importance of biblical and conservative values. She also offers frequent commentary on Fox News. She and her husband welcomed their first daughter into the world in July 2019. This is her first book.

There is so much freedom in recognizing that we are not enough, yet we are bombarded with a message to the contrary. Jesus is our enough-ness, and when we believe that, we can walk in the rest of His plan for us. All we need to do is look to the cross, and that tells us all we need to know about our value. Today in part 1 we're talking about the first three of five myths culture is telling us. I know you'll love Allie. She's one of my favorite millennials! ... Read more...

Relatable podcaster Allie Beth Stuckey draws on scripture to argue that the pressure to love oneself only further contributes to feelings of disappointment, failure, and misery in You're Not Good Enough (and That's Okay): Escaping the Toxic Culture of Self Love (PRH, May). "I think there's a huge need for a book like this now, in a time when people, especially young women, are told that self-love is the key to happiness," says PRH editor Helen Healey. "Allie has common-sense, big-sisterly advice that so many women need to hear: there is truth that exists outside ourselves; life isn't all about them; happiness shouldn't be their goal."

Stuckey aims to address five pervasive myths about the self that millennials, Christians and non-Christians alike, often fall prey to. In her words, "This book is about dismantling the lies the toxic culture of self-love has fed to us and replacing them with God's truth"... this book is about good news... We get to remove this crushing burden of trying to muster up a love inside us that just doesn't hold up under the weight of life's demands and rely on a sovereign God to be our sufficiency, our confidence, our guide, and our giver of purpose...
