'25 SUMMER READING LIST, #24 - "YOU'RE NOT ENOUGH (AND THAT'S OKAY) BY ALLIE BETH STUCKEY

A couple of weeks ago, I saw a T-shirt that read, "Repeat until you believe this is true: 'You are enough.'" Sorry, but believing something is true isn't always the same as something being true, and repeating a lie doesn't stop it from being a lie.

In "You're Not Enough (and That's Okay): Escaping the Toxic Culture of Self-Love," Allie Beth Stuckey deals with five lies common in today's society:

1. "You are enough."
2. "You determine your truth."
3. "You're perfect the way you are."
4. "You're entitled to your dreams."
5. "You can't love others until you love yourself."

As Christians, we need to realize that for salvation, we are absolutely NOT enough; we're sinners, and without Christ we can do nothing (John 15:4-6).
