It is RARE that I love books written by Christian women these days. Usually I find them to be cheesy or cliche or just way too glossy and not real at all, but this one really surprised me. It was honest, relevant, fresh, and not at all cheesy. I loved the way Jess and Hayley took turns writing chapters, but also both responded to the other chapters with their own thoughts. I was encouraged by this one and felt very empowered to live as my truest and freest self, which was awesome. This is one of the best books about Christian womanhood I've read this year.

This book was talked about so much on social media that even though I was reluctant about giving it a try, I did request it from Net Galley eventually.
From the perspective of someone who's been raised in a Christian home, embraces the Christian principles, and knows her status as a child of God - well, this brought little perspective. Sure, there were some nuggets that cemented what I already knew, they were like a friendly reminder when you lose track of something important.
Trying to look at this from the perspective of someone who is not living and breathing "Christianese", yes, this is a good starting point toward understanding and grasping the position one has in Christ. The book tries to make clear that there is room in Christ for everyone, for those who are on the wilder side, have a bigger personality, are ready to think grand, people who sometimes think they need to take it down a notch, and also those who are learning to shed their fear and live freer. For those trying to figure out the Christian life - yes, read this book to see someone else's story and journey of faith.
Since this is a book written by two authors, and this is great since they have such different personality, it was good to see two voices complementing each other. This makes the book apply to more than one category of readers. My favorite thing is that each chapter has a short response from the other author. I knew nothing about these two authors before I read this book, but their deep friendship, they way they encourage one another was another thing I thought was wonderful about this book.
However, at times it felt a bit all over the place. Maybe it was just me, but I felt that some ideas were repeated over and over, and I lost track of what subject was discussed at the moment. Moreover, it felt at some point that there is no clear distinction between the things the two authors were saying. Truth be told, I got slightly bored by the time I reached the half of the book.
This book is certainly a good read for those who aren't that familiar with the Christian life, but for the others, those who are familiar and supersaturated with all the Christian books that seem to write about the same thing, well, maybe not the book for you.
2.5/5 stars

Reread. Decided to take my friends advise and reread a favorite to start the year instead of a new book.
So glad I reread this. I highly recommend this book to everyone. It's more then just playing the rules of Christianity but rather learning who God has made you.

Wild seems to be a very repetitive word in this book. Went into the space of overused for the sake of the title of the book.
This did have a good message and a can really see the heart of the author in this.
But it does take a while to get to the heart of the message so it took me awhile to finish this book. But I would recommend.

I couldn't even get through the second chapter. The introduction did not give me the slightest understanding of the goals of the authors. I found Jess's writing to be oddly flowery and inaccessible. It reminded me of a bad chemistry professor I had in college who spent the whole lecture providing elaborate metaphors so that when I got home to study, all I could remember were bundled up electrons walking around a fire. Not helpful. Initially, I liked Hayley's writing. I could identify with her and the challenges she faces. But then she started providing a ridiculously long list of female "armor" archetypes. I immediately wondered how she developed these - is she a researcher? Does she have a psychotherapy practice? Maybe a Master's in Social Work? Is this culled from another researcher? Nope. It seems she just made them up. Which put me in mind of a Cosmo quiz, the kind I loved in middle school.
I found myself dreading each time I reached for the book. So, I finally decided to quit torturing myself. Life is too short to read something I don't enjoy!

I'll admit, I was more than a little hesitant to read another one of "these books." I was prepared for 200 emotionally saturated pages with cheesy metaphors and unrealistic generalizations. However, I was pleasantly surprised. Wild and Free serves as an encouragement to the Christian woman that she is everything she needs to be because of Christ. She's innately good because she's created by an innately good God. Backing everything they say up with Scripture, Jess and Hayley write in an approachable, down-to-earth tone, but it doesn't sound oversimplified or cheesy. They are extremely vulnerable with the reader, weaving both their victories and their struggles throughout the book. Wild and Free is easy to read, but it has a theological weight to it that many books of a similar genre tend to lack...a highlighter is 100% necessary.

PHENOMENAL.

In a season of insecurity in exactly like the cover says…feeling like both too much and not enough- this book is a good one, I think one I’ll be thinking through for a bit
August 1, 2016
Wild and Free has one of my favorite taglines ever: “A hope-filled anthem for the woman who feels she is both too much and never enough.” This is a good read for the woman who wants to rest in what Jesus has done for her, while also walking courageously in obedience with the work in front of her. I don't think I'll ever read it again, though. I could barely get through the first time.
My favorite quote is: We mean the world to Him [God]... not because we're good or we've earned it, but because we are His treasures, the apple of His eye, the daughters He is coming back for. He has never seen us as a tool. We have always been the prize worth fighting for.
Although Jess and Hayley did a good job co-writing a book, a feat which can't be easy, I had to give it two stars because I didn't find myself underlining anything (which is how I know which books will stay with me). I think both of these women are rockin' it online and I've learned a lot from both of them just through social media, but it seemed like everything in the book had already been said. But that's just me, and if you don't follow them online then it will likely be fresh and new to you. I also gave it less stars because of the design of the book. This is not related to Hayley of Jess *at all* but is related to the publisher, most likely. Both women are super creative with design and the cover of the book is beautiful, but the interior left much to be desired. I was truly shocked by how basic it is. The font choice, the big black boxes to signal a new chapter, the square box jumping from one page to the next but not being completely filled in... it was majorly lacking in design, for me. I doubt the authors had much of a say in that, but it was a bummer to me and I hope for their future books (which I hope they will each have!) that design is amped up.

Before I begin, let me say: I think the world of Christian women’s literature has become a little oversaturated with fun titles, beautiful cover art, and snappy author bios. It’s all part of the genre - the book you’re reading promises to be uplifting and truthful, holding back no punches while still affirming you as the reader. But there’s a danger to this, as the gospel and even Jesus Himself can often get lost in a self-sufficient or self-serving message the authors are trying to press. Not so in Wild and Free.
The main premise of this book is to answer the weary woman’s two burning questions: am I too much for this world? Am I not enough? The authors give a resounding “NO” as the answer, which is to be expected, but what makes Wild and Free so refreshing is the way they go about giving this answer. They don’t begin with platitudes vapid believe-in-yourself dogma. They begin with our Father, who Himself is good and has created us good. Who has given us a path to freedom through His son. Who is out for His glory and our good. Who wants us to live bound to nothing but Himself. By starting with such strong theological truths, the book is able to speak into its reader’s heart with gentleness, while never just building her up for the sake of it. Likewise, the authors (who are both talented and gifted writers) never come across in a bragging or selfish way - they always point back to God.
There are so many truths I will be taking from this book and more wisdom I will be contemplating for a long time. I am good not because I am innately good, but because my Father is good and created me as such. I can live in a way that brings glory to Him by letting go of defensive tactics. I don’t have to be afraid of looking a little (or a lot) different and weird because I am accepted by Him. My measure of success can be modified so it pleases my God. The path to freedom is already laid out in front of me via Jesus...will I take it? Will I invite others along this path with me?
Wild and Free is refreshing and life-giving. If you’ve been on the fence because of the catchy title or the fear that you’ll be burned by yet another Christian Women’s book, I urge you to pick it up and be invited into a rich world of truth.

I absolutely loved this book! It spoke to me in so many ways, but particularly about how to live in a world where we are constantly pulled in every direction by what society deems appropriate.
The imagery of Eve in the garden Wild and true to who God made her to be really hit me. We can and are supposed to live like that!
The writing is superb and it was concise while being descriptive and I felt immersed in the stories. I loved that it was co-written and I felt that Haley and Jess are different but both have unique ways of summarizing which made it easy to understand.
Definitely recommend!

This book did not really resonate with me as I thought it would. I like the concept of Wild and free however it fell short of expectations and felt like pieces were missing.

A somewhat cringy title but the content was fantastic. A solid and impactful book on identity found in the kingdom of God.

Jess Connolly and Hayley Morgan (authors of Wild and Free) dug into my brain, made me realize my thoughts are keeping me captive, and retold the Gospel story in a language my heart craves.
Jess and Hayley put to words the feelings so many women have: being both too much and not enough. We have big feelings, big passions and big dreams. However, we fear getting the pious side eye from the Christian community if we let loose and put them on full display. At the same time, we want to be the model woman/wife/mother but always feel like we come up short.
Each chapter of Wild and Free is chock full of wisdom. This is the first book I’ve read in a long time with highlighter in hand. I think half my book is yellow! Format-wise, the co-authors of the book alternate writing chapters. The end of each chapter offers a response from the other author and a prayer.
I typically quickly skim through non-fiction books. Wild and Free will have none of that! I recommend a slow and methodical read. The Biblical truths laid out in each chapter are rich and require (at least for me) reflection to sink in.
Some of my favorite quotes:
"Feeling too much, feeling not enough – these are two sides of the same coin. They both limit us as women created to live wild and free."
"He knows you are the most you when you’re living out the calling He has given you."
"Living as a wild daughter of the King is not a level to achieve; it’s a freedom we all currently possess."
I had the pleasure of meeting Jess and Hayley at their Influence Conference and hear them speak. These women’s hearts for commissioning a generation of women is so infectious and inspiring!
After reading this book, I wish for all my friends and loved ones to read it. I want to sit in circles and talk about the barriers we place around ourselves. I want to call out the lies we tell ourselves about our worth and influence.
I want to look into their eyes and tell them they are more than enough. They are created beautiful and with a purpose. They are given these passions by no accident. They don’t need permission to pursue what their hearts desire. It is right and it is good.
As the authors say in the book, there is no need to call each other out. We need to call each other up!
Note: I was provided with an advanced reader’s copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. And I honestly loved it. #crossmyheart

I didn't actually make it through this entire book. I just couldn't seem to make myself finish it. I did, however, make it to the halfway point and I did skim ahead so I at least had a pretty thorough idea of it's contents.
First off, this book was actually nothing that I was looking for. It was more a book about the things that can hold you back from living a wild and free life in Christ. Each chapter, the two authors basically felt like they were trying to just give women permission to live with abandon in their own lives; to not let anything hold them back. But the problem for me was, I didn't pick this book up as a person hesitant and seeking permission to live with abandon. I was already trying to live more that way in my own life. Rather, I picked this book up looking for ideas and examples of how other women have already lived wild and free. I wanted to see the authors vibrant ways of living and be inspired instead. So, in the end, it didn't really live up to what I was hoping or expecting when I picked up the book.
I also struggled a lot because, it felt boring to read. The two authors were great. Each had their own unique writing voice. But they kept repeating each other from one chapter to the next so that you never felt like the book made very much progress. It was really slow going.
Sometimes, I also had the problem of not really knowing what their point was in a chapter. I'm not really sure why that was because they never went off topic exactly. I guess it was just hard sometimes to know what they were trying to teach you about their topics of choice. It wasn't always clear what they wanted the take away to be within each chapter and what they wanted you to learn.
Overall, it wasn't what I was looking for, but it could still be of use to others. I'm sure there are women who do need help in giving themselves permission to live with more abandon. If so... this would be the book for them.

Written by The Influence Network co-founders, Jess Connolly and Hayley Morgan, Wild and Free is a hope-filled anthem for the woman who feels she is both too much and never enough. That description resonates with my heart so well, and I know it resonates with many others. As I dove into my advanced copy of the book, I saw quickly that these pages are a reminder – of our identity, our purpose, our ability to live free and run wild in Jesus’ name. My heart was both encouraged and challenged by these pages of words of gospel truth, and I quickly began to mark up the pages with my own little scribbles of what was resonating with my heart and truth I need to keep close.
As I read Wild and Free, I prayed bold prayers as I soaked in gentle yet challenging truths. My heart is lit up in passionate readiness to move with God. Freedom feels near and I lift my hands, ready to run wild in my day-to-day life. This is a book I see myself revisiting with other women. It’s a perfect book to read in a group, whether that be of friends, a church group, or neighbors.
Tears filled my eyes as I read the last lines of the book. I feel like Jess and Hayley have taken my hand and led me on the freedom trail from start to finish. But the truly beautiful thing is that as I went, I almost forgot they were even there – I was talking to my Father and processing with Him. To me, that’s the mark of a good read.

I was really looking forward to reading this one since part of the subtitle is "for the woman who feels she is both too much and never enough." It's easy to feel that way as a Christian if you don't fit the stereotypical view of what a Christian woman is supposed to be like. Growing up in churches where feminism was the other f-word I can totally relate to feeling like I'm "too much" and our overall culture works hard to make sure women always feel like we are "never enough." But, I felt like the authors only skimmed the surface of this issue. Every chapter felt like it repeated itself by continuing to talk about how God made us wild and free and all the ways God Himself is wild and free in His creation and by loving us unconditionally. While I completely agree and would argue that the Church in fact often tries to tame our perceptions of God - especially for women, but nothing in this book really jumped out and made me feel connected to the authors or their message. Overall, I love the title and the idea behind the book, but was pretty disappointed.
One quote I did love:
"I see women believing and repeating the lie that motherhood is the highest calling for all women. Did you know that's nowhere in the Bible?" (p. 29) [But again that's easy for these authors to note because they both have 4 children. As a Christian who's childfree by choice it's been a very isolating choice, but I still don't regret my decision and would like to see more Christian women own their non-conformist choices.]

This is a book for any woman who is ready cease striving and step into the freedom of Christ. I haven't read a book with words that seem more relevant for women today than the words in this book. I truly believe that this book is a gift from the heart of God and that He wants to speak to you and remind you of His love for you as you read. We serve this wild and free God and we're invited to live wild and free right alongside Him. I know that you will be blessed as you hear from Jess and Hayley about how God has helped them to understand their wild freedom in Christ. But most importantly, I believe that the Lord is going to reveal to you lies from the enemy that you didn't even realize you had believed and that you will come to see your worth in Christ. You are a treasure, a precious, beloved daughter of God poised to do mighty things in Christ alone. Happy reading!

This book had its moments of pure gold. Moments where it really started to gain momentum and flush out what it means to be wild and free as a woman with Christ. And then, just as I felt compelled to read on, it became your standard, lighthearted, easy Sunday school attempt to connect women to God. It did not take me through the reality women face, especially in Christian sub-culture, of being told we are "not enough" or "too much", and explore the emotions that come with those words. I don't think this was the intention of the authors though. It just did not have the depth I was looking for in a book titled "wild and free".

I personally didn’t care for this book. A lot of the writing was about feeling like you aren’t enough, too timid, or being told you’re too wild/too tame. I have never been a reserved person, but have never been labeled as too wild either. Touched on subjects that I just personally couldn’t relate to.
It was very repetitive and talked about ideas I really already know as a Christian. I would only recommend this book to someone who is not Christian and cannot find their value or worth.

I loved reading this book! It really is filled with hope and rich inspiration for living the free life God called you to live. I also loved that the end of each chapter had a prayer attached to it, evoking a personal and heartfelt feeling. If you're down and your Christian walk with God is not where you want it to be, read this book and it will lead you down the right path.

This was a good read, I like the style of Haley and Jess responding to each other's thoughts at the end of the chapters. I'm giving 3 stars because I don't think this book necessarily had any profound original statements of truth, but instead was more of a reaffirmation of my faith and what I already knew to be true.

I really wanted to love this, and I really really didn't. One or two chapters in, I was wondering if it could get more cliché and redundant. But I hadn't made it that far, so I gave it another chance and read a couple more chapters. It did not get better. Having paid for the book, I was motivated to read it, but the content made me stop.

I enjoyed this book at first. I like how the women are completely different and they give opinions on each others chapters ect but there came a point where I felt like they were repeating themselves and I grew bored. However, I love the thought behind it and the message.

I hate to be that person, but I just wasn't sold on this book. It may be because I normally don't like self help type books anyways, but yeah, this just wasn't my cup of tea. It seemed to be stuff I've heard before from so many Christian authors.

This a book all about freedom in Jesus! Everything you do points back to Him and how He wants you free...highly recommend! Read with a friend- buy her the book if you need to
