Book Review: Always Enough, Never Too Much by Jess Connolly and Hayley Morgan

I thoroughly enjoyed Jess Connolly and Hayley Morgan’s 2016 book Wild and Free: A Hope-Filled Anthem for the Woman Who Feels She is Both Too Much and Never Enough, so when they released their brand new devotional Always Enough, Never Too Much: 100 Devotions to Quit Comparing, Stop Hiding, and Start Living Wild and Free just this year, I was incredibly excited and couldn’t wait to read it! I was recently given the opportunity to review it, so here we go!

This devotional is one of a kind in several ways, not the the least of which being the fact that it is a flip book! Because writers Jess and Hayley are tackling two overarching main messages – that we are both always enough and never too much for God, you begin the book on one side and read 50 devotions on the topic of always being enough for the Lord. Then you turn it over, flip it upside down, and read 50 devotions on the truth that we are never too much for God. I love how clever this design is!

On top of that, it’s an absolutely beautiful book, being designed primarily in shades of blue and coral.

The real treasure, though, is of course the truth, wisdom, and encouragement to be found within the pages of the devotions themselves.

Have you ever felt as if your personality is just too much? Too intense, too big, too loud? Then the 50 devotions on this fear are for you! This portion contains devotions on topics including but definitely not limited to:

You are never too much…..

Even When You Have Strong Opinions
Even When Your Thoughts Go Deep
Even When You Struggle with Depression
Even When You Carry Heavy Burdens
Even When You’re Like a Tornado
Even When You’re Ambitious
Even When You’re a Mess
Even When You’re Controversial
Even When You Beg God for Help
Even When You Rock the Boat
Even When You’ve Got Endless Energy

On the flip side, are you a gal who feels like she is never enough, can never measure up, never do enough for God? Then you are going to want to read the 50 devotions on this topic! They include:

You are always enough….

Even When You Make Mistakes
Even When You Don’t Have enough Energy
Even When You Can’t Live Up to an Invisible Standard
Even When You Feel Like You Don’t Have Enough Faith
Even When Your Good Works Don’t Seem that Great
Even When You Feel Unqualified
Even When You Can’t do Everything for Everyone
Even When You Doubt
Even When You’re Not Perfect
Even When Your To-do List is Never-Ending
Even When You Feel Behind
And many more!

If you’re anything like me, you will actually find a ton of encouragement in both portions of the book! Because I’ll be honest – there are days when I feel I will never be good enough or do enough and then there are days when my passionate, exuberant personality feels like it’s way too much. On both kinds of days I am loved, held, protected, adored, cherished, and accepted by the holy, perfect, all-wise, kind Father God I serve. And so are you.

I truly can’t recommend this devotional book enough and encourage you to pick up a copy! Each devotion is about two pages long or so, making it the perfect little quick read for even the busiest woman on the go who needs a short pick-me-up that will fix her eyes back on the Lord. And yet, as short and sweet as the devotions are, they are also jam-packed with wisdom, encouragement, and gospel truth. Thank you to Jess and Hayley for taking the time to pen this gem of a book!
