You don't have to be everything to everyone. You don't have to try so hard to button it up and hold it together. Join best friends and coauthors Jess Connolly and Hayley Morgan as they reveal how women today can walk in the true liberty we already have in Jesus. 

For all the fullness of God available to his daughters, we often feel limited by two defining insecurities: "I am too much" and "I am not enough."

Jess and Hayley felt the same until one essential question turned the tables: If God is wild and free and he created women, what does this mean for us today? 

Wild and Free is an invitation to find freedom from the cultural captivity that holds us back, and freedom to step into God's wild and holy call in our lives. Jess and Hayley answer difficult questions that so many women have asked them over the years, including:

• How do I compete with the burden of expectation of what women are "supposed" to be?
• Where do I actually fit in?
• How can I start living out my God-given identity every day of my life?

 

With fresh biblical insight tracing all the way back to Eve and a treasury of practical application, Jess and Hayley reveal how women today can walk in the true liberty we already have in Jesus--because you certainly don't have to quiet the voice that God gave you when he created you to sing. 

Wild and Free will help you shake off the lies of insecurity in your life and step forward to maximize your God-given influence for his glory and the world's good.

Reviews for Wild and Free

[needmoreshelves · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

I think there is an abundance of good ideas in this book - towards the end, it felt like some of the ideas started to repeat themselves, so that took the book from a 4-star rating to a 3-star. Lots to ponder and consider.
