Enough with Enough: Letters of Encouragement for Women Struggling Under the Weight of a Christian Life

The Christian life is not meant to be a burden--it's a joy. Yet, we feel burdened by the world, the devil, and even our own hearts as they constantly whisper that we're not doing enough, growing enough, or believing enough. But what if "enough" isn't something we achieve--what if it's something already given to us? Enough with "Enough" is the next volume in our Letters of Encouragement series. It delivers 23 heartfelt letters written for women who feel the weight of measuring up. In this pages, you will be reminded that the gospel isn't about what we do--it's about what Christ has already done. Jesus is both the fulfillment of the law and the forgiveness of our sins, freeing us from the exhausting cycle of self-measurement. With grace-filled encouragement, this book invites Christian women to embrace their God-given vocations with joy and confidence. In Christ, we don't have to strive for "enough"--in him, we are enough.

Review :
"Enough with "Enough" is yet again a faithful Lutheran offering from Higher Things. The essay authors are women just like you. Living out everyday lives focused on Jesus; they offer sincere and practical reflections that hearten sisters in Christ. This book speaks to women of all ages and vocations. After reading it once you will want to return to it again and again to be reminded that Christ is for you, pouring out His love and forgiveness on you each and every day. Enough with Enough will be a blessing to all who read it." - Deaconess Dr. Tiffany Manor, Managing Director LCMS National Mission, St. Louis, MO "To be honest, I was initially hesitant to read yet another "inspirational book for Christian women." Most books in this genre overflow with chapter after chapter of instructions on what to do and what not to do to be more faithful women, often relying on seemingly "feminine" thematic hooks like wine, crafts, chocolate, or even laundry. However, knowing Higher Things and its laser focus on proclaiming the Good News, I really hoped this would be something different. Little did I know just how unique and overwhelmingly Gospel-centered it would be! Reading this book feels like sitting down over coffee with a dear friend--one you trust not to flinch at the sin-broken and sinful realities of your life. This friend sees you, loves you in the midst of your complicated struggles, and tenderly applies the soothing balm of the pure Gospel to console your troubled soul. Without resorting to feminist tropes, these authors encourage women in their faith, no matter the situations or stations they find themselves in. They avoid the vapid and clumsy approaches of other Christian books, that instruct women to "be better," "sin less," "pray more," or "just spend more time with God." You won't find those tired suggestions here. Instead, readers are reminded--again and again, in every single chapter--of what Christ Jesus has already done for them on the Cross. That their many sins are fully forgiven in Him, and that they are free from the bondage of the Law. Women in today's world, our culture, and within the LCMS desperately need to hear these bold, unequivocal truths--completely free of caveats or conditions. You have reminded me why I am still Lutheran. Thank you, ladies, for daring to speak up and write for us! And thank you, Higher Things, for providing the platform to make this possible." - Sandra (Ostapowich) Madden is the former Content Executive for Higher Things, Inc.
