Crossway Partner Review: Enough about Me: Finding Lasting Joy in the Age of Self by Jen Oshman

This book is a solid biblical view of finding joy in God, in the gospel, in who God is, and in creating an intimate relationship with Him.  If you want to whisper the Word to your children, you need to have a life centered on God- not on self, as the world celebrates and encourages us to do.



Jen Oshman is a great story teller and made a non fiction book that teaches theology an easy read!  Jen has lived overseas sharing the gospel in other countries as a missionary and shares a diverse perspective with her readers.

The book is also a thought provoking read, that had me examining am I living for self or focused on the gospel and knowing God.  It's a compelling book even though it doesn't sound like a theology book, it is! Theology is knowing about God- and how He is in our lives- and that's what this book is about-- contrasting it to the message we hear in the culture, throughout recent history, especially as women that self is most important.





Her style is different than other books that suggest similar concepts- it's a very down to earth real life explanation- including how our culture and the women's movement has encouraged us to make it all about me.
















I think this book will appeal to a wide audience and I enjoyed reading an ebook copy courtesy of Crossway.
