"Lord knows that we have more than enough books about ourselves and never enough books about the God that created us. It isn't until we see him that we can then make sense of ourselves. I believe Jen Oshman’s book accomplishes that by widening our vision and helping us fall in love with seeing God again."—Jackie Hill Perry, poet; author; hip-hop artistWomen today feel a constant pressure to improve themselves and just never feel like they’re “enough.” All too often, they live their daily lives disheartened, disillusioned, and disappointed. That’s because joy doesn’t come from a new self-improvement strategy; it comes from rooting their identity in who God says they are and what he has done on their behalf.This book calls women to look away from themselves in order to find the abundant life God offers them—contrasting the cultural emphasis on personal improvement and empowerment with what the Scriptures say about a life rooted, built up, and established in the gospel. Contrasts the cultural emphasis on personal improvement and empowerment with what the Scriptures say about a life rooted, renewed, and resting in the gospelShares illustrations from the lives of real womenOffers practical ways for women to grow in their faith, confident in God’s love for themSpeaks to the disillusionment many women feel as their lives don’t look like they thought they wouldIncludes a foreword by popular author Jen Wilkin

Jen Oshman Helps Women Reject Idols and Discover God's Good Purpose for Their LivesIn today’s culture, women and girls are influenced by idols that promise purpose and meaning for their lives—outward beauty and ability, sex, abortion, and gender fluidity. Christian women aren’t exempt from these temptations either, and can even elevate good things like marriage and motherhood to the status of idolatry. Women may sense that these idols are hollow and leave them feeling unsettled, but where should they turn instead? In Cultural Counterfeits, Jen Oshman encourages women to reject the empty, destructive promises these idols offer and embrace something much more satisfying. She casts a vision for women to experience real hope and peace in Jesus, calling them to recognize their unshakable and eternal identities in him. This timely and compelling resource will help women find freedom and joy as they explore God’s good design and purpose for their lives.  Culturally Relevant: Addresses current topics such as the #MeToo movement, LGBTQIA+, social media, and feminismExplains “How We Got Here”: Gives a brief history of the sexual revolution up to todayWritten by Jen Oshman: Author of Enough about Me: Find Lasting Joy in the Age of Self For Group or Individual Study: Includes discussion questions at the end of each chapter

Viele Frauen stehen heute unter Druck: Sie müssen sich ständig verbessern und haben nie das Gefühl, »genug« zu sein. Häufig leben sie ihren Alltag deshalb entmutigt und enttäuscht. Freude kommt aber nicht durch eine neue Strategie der Selbstverbesserung, sondern durch die Verwurzelung unserer Identität in dem, was Gott über uns sagt und für uns getan hat.Dieses Buch ruft Frauen dazu auf, von sich selbst wegzusehen, um ein Leben in Fülle zu finden, das Gott ihnen bietet. Es stellt die oft betonte Selbstverbesserung und Selbstermächtigung dem gegenüber, was die Bibel über ein Leben sagt, das im Evangelium verwurzelt und gefestigt ist.
