Im convinced that one question haunts almost all of us: Am I enough? In his new devotional, not only does Jonathan Puddle answer that question, but he walks the reader through a process that will soften and heal the heart from the wounds accumulated by chasing its answer. There is good, life-giving Jesus-centered theology here, paired with daily practices and meditations (including audio meditations), all offered with grace, vulnerability and gentle care. If a person commits to working through this devotional, following the practices and using the daily meditations, I firmly believe it will change the state of their hearts, how they see themselves and even their ability to sense the nearness of God.

I rarely meet anyone who is not too hard on themselves. For all of the trendy talk of self-love and self-care, what we need are accessible, transforming practices that are contemplative and therapeutic. Jonathan Puddle's book makes "You are enough" more than a motivational platitude. It will help that truth get from our rational minds into the wounds and needs of our hearts. For those who put his gentle meditations into practice, I anticipate some deep-level healing and a new sense of wholeness. Brad Jersak (PhD), author of Can You Hear Me? Tuning In to the God Who Speaks

Neuroscience has proven our brains can change. Neuroplasticity is real. It has also proven the process of change requires novel and repeatable practices; one could even say we need daily liturgies. Jonathan Puddle has provided us with a tangible resource that is not only rooted in proven science, psychology, professional counseling and therapeutic modalities, but, most importantly, his own lived-experience of seeking wholeness. Jonathan's devotional compassionately provides us with practical resources to continue our own healing journey. Dr. Jerome D. Lubbe, author of The Brain-Based Enneagram: you are not A number

This is just what the Christian world needs! If you've been struggling to love God more, and beating yourself up about not making progress, Jonathan shows you that trauma-informed psychology and Scripture actually go hand in hand. You don't need to struggle against yourself. Learn instead how to be kind to yourself, and let God heal you so that you can grow. Sheila Wray Gregoire, author, speaker, and blogger at To Love, Honor and Vacuum

"God created humans with bodies and to need other humans. He was the first to call his human creation "Good" and the first to say it was "Not good" to be alone. We need leaders who show us the way to navigate these sometimes seemingly confusing truths. Jonathan is a practical and wise leader for the journey out of theological constructs that preach we don't need anyone or anything but God. This book is a helpful addition to the correctives we need." Lore Ferguson Wilbert, author of Handle With Care: How Jesus Redeems the Power of Touch in Life and Ministry

Jonathan has combined theology & psychology in a way that is as accessible as it is beautiful. These pages have healing to offer to anyone who wants it." Robert Vore, therapist & suicide prevention instructor, host of CXMH, a podcast at the intersection of faith & mental health

Jonathan Puddle reminds us that we are not fractured beings: body, soul, spirit, emotions, etc., but rather we are all of these things combined. In You Are Enough, Jonathan helps us see ourselves as God sees usas his beloved children. Through devotional experiences, Jonathan connects our full selves in practices meant to engage every part of who we are, to discover thatin Christwho we are is enough. I heartily encourage you to allow Jonathan to lead you to experience a new pace, new practices and a renewed awareness of who you really are. Natalie Frisk, pastor and author of Raising Disciples: How to Make Faith Matter for Our Kids.

You Are Enough blazes a path toward self-love we all need and rarely find. Like any exercise routine, reading this devotional isnt a piece of cake, and muscles we didnt know existed are seen and strengthened. Day by day, a spiritual practice emerges from Jonathans words: the practice of reminding ourselves that God is enough, wehis creationare enough, and we learn to bravely face ourselves honestly, to feel and to know what lies within in order to find healing and wholeness. Reading You Are Enough taught me much about my own self, the important-even-if-awkward steps I have yet to take toward self-love, and how those steps not-yet-taken affect my relationship with God, others, and myself. I truly look forward to sharing this gift of a book.
