Allie Stuckey’s book, You’re Not Enough (and That’s Okay): Escaping the Toxic Culture of Self-Love, breaks down the lies that our culture is telling us and holds them up to Truth.
She uses her personal story to narrow the lies down to 5:
📌”You are enough.”
📌”You determine your truth.”
📌”You’re perfect the way you are.”
📌”You’re entitled to your dreams.”
📌”You can’t love others until you love yourself.”
Stuckey affirms at the very beginning that, “the self can’t be both the problem and the solution.” Throughout the book, she shows us that we can’t find the answer to our problem, insecurity, or unfulfillment in ourselves since we are the issue. Instead, we have to turn to God and His Word to provide the solution.
In a culture where women are being told they are no different than men, there is empowerment in sexual “freedom,” and they get to choose their own destiny, this book is a needed reminder that we are most content and fulfilled when we submit to God’s authority and live as He intended.
