Mrs. Allen's writing points the reader to Christ and that He is enough. She challenges the reader to find satisfaction, connection, rest, hope, and grace in Him alone. Mrs. Allen is personal, caring and engaging as she writes. The reader can sense through her writing that she is genuine and speaking from the heart and experience.
As I read this book, I confessed, cried and asked God to change me in many areas.
A couple of lines I want to remember (I would have highlighted many passages and would have written on many pages if I had owned this copy!)-
pg. 94 "We want to do things for God without spending time with God. It is an epidemic in the church, and we wonder why we are so empty and unhappy. God built us for Himself, and all of our attempts to manage life apart from intimacy with Him only further expose our ache for Him."
pg. 109 "We are made for dependency on God. We were built for that. Because God is invisible, we put our neediness on people, and that becomes unhealthy one hundred percent of the time. . . ..People will eventually disappoint you. . . .They aren't enough either."
*Highly recommend.
