Rate this book
God made you to be your truest, most authentic self. He's already given you permission to live your life unapologetically--what are you waiting for? Join pastor, Bible teacher, and women's ministry leader Dr. Jackie Greene as she helps you cast off counterfeit living and finally live freely in God. After years of struggling with people-pleasing and living unauthentically, Dr. Jackie had a revelation that God had designed her precisely the way he wanted her--quirks and all. That message has changed her life, and in Permission to Live Free she wants to use it to change yours, too. Through her popular Permission Conferences, Permission World Facebook group, newly launched podcast, Permission Talk, and Dig Deep Bible studies, Dr. Jackie has already changed the lives of thousands of women who were ready to start living the life they were called to live. Permission to Live Free will give you the tools and encouragement you need It's time to let go of what's holding you back from living in the fullness of who God uniquely designed you to be. No more counterfeit living--you were made for more! Let Dr. Jackie show you the way. Praise for Permission to Live Free : "In a world that celebrates sameness, Jackie Greene's ministry and mission untether us from fear and give us permission to be the unique individuals that God intended. Each chapter of this book will shake you awake from the doldrums of comparison and complacency and challenge you to live out your God-given design freely and fully. Instead of melding seamlessly into the mold, you'll discover the power of accepting your unique identity and then surrendering it fully to Jesus Christ. More than ever before, we need these words. And we need this work. Write on, Jackie. Write on." --Priscilla Shirer, Bible teacher and New York Times bestselling author

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 💫✨ This book has seriously blessed me!

My top 3🌺

1. You don’t need to change who you are to fit in or make it! God made you - you for a reason! Own that and watch your miracles unfold!
2. Continue to foster a relationship with God! He desires your closeness and your obedience!
3. Affirm yourself with the truth about who you are, who you are called to be, and who God is! This will allow you to live authentically!

"When we craft a life that's built on the opinions of others, we've created an unreliable identity."

Permission To Live Free, explores how women should build their relationship with God. Through the relationship, you will understand your purpose and live a life of freedom. This was my first experience with Dr. Jackie Greene, and I really liked the tone she used to showcase her words of wisdom. She provided relatable examples and life practices to further explain her point.

As I wrap up my fast for the month of January this book really blessed me. Thank you Jackie for pushing women further with God and their relationship in prayer! This book stirred me up and brought out so many conversational pieces in my quiet time.

This is definitely a book I will read multiple times and utilize as a tool reminder that it’s never too late to begin the permissions journey!

My boss brought me this book. Based on our individual personalities on our team, she chose books that she thought we would love. After reading this, I didn't realize that I was waiting for "permission" on alot of things in my life. This book is a game changer...

In Permission to Live Free, Dr. Jackie Greene shares her powerful journey from people-pleasing and inauthentic living to embracing the unique woman God designed her to be. With encouragement rooted in Scripture and practical tools, she helps readers cast off counterfeit living and step boldly into their God-given purpose.

I liked this book—it had some really good info and inspiring moments. While not everything applied to me or my current stage of life, I still found it enjoyable and uplifting. This is a great read for anyone ready to let go of what's holding them back and live boldly in God's purpose!

YOU HAVE PERMISSION!

Literally, this book in conjunction with Dr Jackie Greene's mentorship program gave me tools to seize the freedom that has been mine since the beginning. So much healing took place in my heart and my mind, and to this day, I still refer back to the lessons I learned in that season.
