Women today feel a constant pressure to improve themselves and just never feel like they're "enough." All too often, they live their daily lives disheartened, disillusioned, and disappointed. That's because joy doesn't come from a new self-improvement strategy; it comes from rooting their identity in who God says they are and what he has done on their behalf.

This book calls women to look away from themselves in order to find the abundant life God offers them—contrasting the cultural emphasis on personal improvement and empowerment with what the Scriptures say about a life rooted, built up, and established in the gospel.

This book calls women to look away from new self-improvement strategies in order to find the abundant life and joy God offers them in Jesus.

Women today feel a constant pressure to improve themselves and just never feel like they’re “enough.” All too often, they live their daily lives disheartened, disillusioned, and disappointed. That’s because joy doesn’t come from a new self-improvement strategy; it comes from rooting their identity in who God says they are and what he has done on their behalf.

This book calls women to look away from themselves in order to find the abundant life God offers them—contrasting the cultural emphasis on personal improvement and empowerment with what the Scriptures say about a life rooted, built up, and established in the gospel.

\["For women felling discouraged or exhausted","Enough about Me helps you find a new footing in God's word","You'll discover new confidence in how God sees you"\]

Conclusion

“Lord knows that we have more than enough books about ourselves and never enough books about the God that created us. It isn’t until we see him that we can then make sense of ourselves. I believe Jen Oshman’s book accomplishes that by widening our vision and helping us fall in love with seeing God again.”  
Jackie Hill Perry, poet; author; hip-hop artist

“Countless voices are telling women, ‘Believe in yourself . . . reach your potential . . . find your purpose . . . fulfill your destiny.’ But Enough about Me has a very different message, a message that is not only countercultural but also runs counter to today’s Christian culture: your life is not ultimately or most profoundly about you, but about the one who has made you his own. This is the kind of good news women really need.”  
Nancy Guthrie, Bible teacher; author, Hearing Jesus Speak into Your Sorrow

“The siren call of self promises much but provides little. While the world tells us to want more, do more, and be more, Jen Oshman turns our eyes from ourselves and helps us to find our lives in Jesus, the giver of every good and perfect gift. Written with warmth and wisdom, Enough about Me is an encouragement to something better, something richer, and something true.”  
Melissa B. Kruger, Director of Women’s Content, The Gospel Coalition; author, In All Things and Growing Together

“Jen Oshman deftly walks through a variety of challenges to following Jesus in the modern world. Each time she helpfully exposes the shortcomings of living for the self, while also pointing to the joy of living for and in Christ. I will give a copy to each of my daughters and pray they absorb Oshman’s godly instruction.”  
Jonathan K. Dodson, Founding Pastor, City Life Church, Austin, Texas; Founder, Gospel-Centered Discipleship; author, The Unbelievable Gospel; Here in Spirit; and Our Good Crisis

“For many years now I have benefited from Jen Oshman’s writing. I’m delighted that she has broadened her repertoire to include this book. In an age obsessed with self, its message is delightfully countercultural and desperately needed.”  
Tim Challies, blogger, Challies.com

“Enough about Me is for those who feel tired, burned out, or like they’re not enough. Jen Oshman kindly encourages readers to look away from themselves and to look instead to Jesus, powerfully reminding them that true, lasting joy is found only in him. This book will lift your gaze in a way that will change your life.”  
Hunter Beless, Founder and Host, Journeywomen podcast

“This book had me hooked right from the start. I guzzled my coffee as I considered the common struggles of despair and disillusionment Jen Oshman describes. But the real triumph is the way Enough about Me turned my eyes to the one who defines my life and gives me joy. This is a must-read for any woman running on empty because her ‘fuel of self’ has run out. Our empty hearts need to find full dependence on God.”  
Emily Jensen, Cofounder, Risen Motherhood; coauthor, Risen Motherhood: Gospel Hope for Everyday Moments

“In a time when our greatest value is self and the lure of this world tricks us into believing we can have it all, I can’t think of a more necessary and relevant book for today’s women. Jen Oshman masterfully ushers us to where greater joy is found by redirecting our gaze from ourselves to Christ. If you’ve ever had it all only to be discontent, or you’ve been discontent with all that you have, this book is for you.”  
Shar Walker, Senior Writer, North American Mission Board

“Every day, disciples of Christ are bombarded with competing information for how they can live their best lives. Whether it’s chiseling your arms at the gym, keeping a smokestack of essential oils pumping in your house, or promising to never buy frozen chicken nuggets again—none of these things will sustainably complete you, calm you, or comfort you. The focus on self is crushing us. Jen Oshman reminds readers that the more we focus on me, the more out of focus we become. Sisters, there is only one place to look that will secure the good life you truly need: ‘Christ who is your life’ (Col. 3:4). And in this book, that’s who Jen Oshman points you to—Jesus and all his glory. Take up and read. We can never get enough of him.”  
J. A. Medders, author, Humble Calvinism; Pastor of Preaching and Theology, Redeemer Church, Tomball, Texas

Amidst a culture of self, Jen Oshman offers a way of finding courage and confidence from the Bible that helps you overcome discouragement.

Jen Oshman is a wife, mom, and writer, and has served as a missionary and pastor’s wife for over two decades on three continents. She currently resides in Colorado, where her family planted Redemption Parker, an Acts29 church.
