Good Enough

40ish Devotionals for a Life of Imperfection

Summary

Brought to you by Penguin.

We begin to feel less alone, more loved and less judged when good is . . . enough.


In this collection of 40ish short spiritual devotionals, Good Enough reveals the small things we can do to inch toward a deeper, richer, truer kind of faith. Through blessings, prayers and human truths, learn to live with imperfection in a culture of self-help that promotes endless progress, and discover a companion for when you want to stop feeling guilty that you're not living your best life now.

Hailed by Glennon Doyle as 'the Christian Joan Didion', in these gorgeously written reflections Kate Bowler and Jessica Richie proffer fresh imagination for how truth, beauty, and meaning can be discovered amidst the chaos of life. Their words celebrate kindness, honesty and interdependence in a culture that rewards ruthless individualism and blind optimism. Ultimately, in these pages we can rest in the encouragement to strive for what is possible today - while recognising that though we are finite, the life in front of us can still be beautiful.

Reviews

  • For those of us trying to live within the space between "everything is possible" and "nothing is possible," this book is exactly that companion I know its authors to be: brilliant, hilarious, absurd, honest, hopeful, true­hearted, and good to the core.
