Bekah is my friend, and somehow this is still an unbiased review:

Strong recommend to anyone. Also: I just recorded an Instagram story requesting Harvest House publishers additionally produce a shorter devotional-style accompaniment specifically for high school and college age kids, both male and female. In my opinion, this is the most important gospel application for those two age groups - and beyond. (HH- in my brain I’m envisioning a version of this that feels like Kapic’s You Were Never Meant to Do It All- also a 5-⭐️ read for me.)

Warm, friendly, appropriately self-deprecating, theologically rich yet way short of any pretense, and as evident in reading as in knowing Bekah that she lives what she teaches. This is a helpful, accessible “how-to” for gospel application of our standing in Christ to our everyday posture both before the Trinity and before the world. Well done, Bekah and HH.

Bekah has poured decades thinking and teaching about confidence in Christ into this book. She understands that much teaching on identity in Christ bends inward to focus on ourselves. It becomes a way of filling our emotional void with constant reminders that in Christ we are enough. She calls us to something better, by reorienting our focus on Christ's unchanging sufficiency in the ups and downs if life. This is a must read!

Lives up to its title

I love the idea that my identity and confidence is because of who Christ is, not because I am suddenly worthy because of what He has done for me.
