There were some good pieces, however overall some of her writing contradicted itself. She actually reinforced some of the very lies she said she was trying to combat. The book has a very high emphasis on what one must do and how to get their life together and then suddenly everything will just fall into place. This creates a lie that we must just not be doing it right. Yet she talks about needing to trust God and follow his lead but then all the action steps are about what we must do. I appreciate that so much of the book is actually on growth as an individual before shifting to even talk about dating however she also emphasize her story over and over where she hadn’t done the heart work ahead of time and keeps using it as the example to follow. I think what could be harmful about this books is that some subtle lies are hidden all within a bunch of truth. It makes it challenging to sort through the parts of it that are really good and helpful while still being able to identity the pieces that aren’t biblical yet she claims they are.
I can’t tell if this is a book where Jackie is telling her story, she’s nudging you along and telling you your story, or if she’s trying to sell you a course over a span of 200 pages. I decided to give the book a read from nudgers. She makes some really great points. Stop believing the lies. (:
I started off strong wanting to love this. I think it’s amazing to reference examples of family stories but this took me a bit too long to read. It felt like repetition and somewhat of a drag to be honest. I’m happy and excited for the movement, just didn’t end up loving the book.
I think there’s a lot of good pointers from a Christian perspective, and at the same time, it’s all heavily based on her story. Still worthwhile for Christian women who feel stuck in the rotation of swiping profiles, to provide hope and perhaps a different approach to dating.
