Virtual Book Club: Launching This October!
Join us as we read "You Are Not Enough (And That's Okay): Escaping The Toxic Culture of Self-Love" by Allie Beth Stuckey. This book takes aim at the contemporary notion that if we simply learn to love ourselves more, we'll be happier. Stuckey suggests something different: in acknowledging our weakness we open ourselves up to the true source of joy: God's love. It's a book that's sure to spur some great discussion. Interested? Let us know!
