A Timely & Important Message
One of the topics Allie covers a lot on her podcast is the toxic culture of self-love and "trendy narcissism." She has really opened my eyes to how prevalent it is in our culture, so I was excited to hear she was covering the topic even deeper in her book. She covers five myths that self-love culture tells us, and lays out the truth from God’s Word that is so much better. It really is so freeing to know that we are not enough, but God is!
Allie does such a great job pointing out and dismantling the lies that can be so subtle, but are so pervasive, even in Christian culture. I really appreciate her emphasis on Biblical truth and sound theology, and how she addresses each of the self-love myths in the book from all angles - political, cultural, and spiritual. I highly recommend this book and Allie's podcast, Relatable, to all Christian women, especially young women, as we are so easily influenced by social media and the culture around us. You can see videos of her podcast episodes on YouTube, too!
I received a complimentary copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley, but I also purchased a physical copy - that's how much I loved it! Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
