You can learn how to dance in grace, stand in holiness, and run on the mission as God''s beloved daughter.

Discover God’s wild freedom as you find your identity in Jesus with 100 devotions that will help you target and banish lies and insecurities. Jess Connolly and Hayley Morgan, bestselling authors of Wild and Free, walk you through the gift of truly knowing who you are in Christ in Always Enough, Never Too Much: 100 Devotions to Quit Comparing, Stop Hiding, and Start Living Wild and Free.  

We’ve all been there. We know that sneaking, small voice in our heads all too well—you’re too loud. Too quiet. Too young. Too old. Too unimportant. Too ugly. Too silly. Too serious. You’re not as successful as she is—look at her perfect family, look at her high-powered job, look at her great hair and size 4 skinny jeans. Why can’t you be more like her—be more in general? Why do you expect so much from everyone? Why can’t you take up less space? Ask for less? Be less? The lies track well-worn paths in our minds and our hearts, wearing us down and making us question our role in God’s kingdom.

Jess Connolly and Hayley Morgan, founders of the Influence Network and bestselling authors of Wild and Free,reject those lies, and you can too with Always Enough, Never Too Much: 100 Devotions to Quit Comparing, Stop Hiding, and Start Living Wild and Free. Through the Scripture and the devotions, find the tools you need to claim the fullness of Jesus in your own life and soak in the encouragement of two girls who will never stop cheering you on!

With a unique flip-book design, these 100 devotions are topical, so you can choose what you need most every time you open the pages. This book is designed for you, the woman who feels like she can be both too much and not enough—sometimes on the same day.

Always Enough, Never Too Much is the daily marching orders after the anthem cry of Wild and Free. Join Jess and Hayley on a journey toward freedom with this beautiful new devotional.

Life is too short to get stuck in a holding pattern.

Does the fear of failing hold you back? Do you ever find yourself hesitant to use your gifts because you’re afraid you’ll fail? Bestselling author Jess Connolly offers you 100 devotions that challenge women to Take It Too Far in all the good stuff--worship, service, love, forgiveness, and more--as they bring their full selves, gifts, and voices to everything they do.

Several years ago, Jess began using the phrase “take it too far” as a motto for her spiritual life. She found that those four words freed her to recognize and use her God-given gifts to serve others. In this beautiful devotional for women, Jess:

This is a great self-purchase for anyone wanting an abundant life, boundless love, and unending grace. Take It Too Far makes a perfect gift for birthdays, Mother’s Day, Galentine’s Day, Christmas, or anyone looking to deepen their faith. Inside you’ll find a:

With the Holy Spirit’s guidance and Jess’s freeing charge, you will be inspired to bring your full self, gifts, and voice to your work, family, and relationships. The possibilities are endless when you tell God you’re ready to Take It Too Far.

You don''t have to be everything to everyone. You don''t have to try so hard to button it up and hold it together. Join best friends and coauthors Jess Connolly and Hayley Morgan as they reveal how women today can walk in the true liberty we already have in Jesus. 

For all the fullness of God available to his daughters, we often feel limited by two defining insecurities: "I am too much" and "I am not enough."

Jess and Hayley felt the same until one essential question turned the tables: If God is wild and free and he created women, what does this mean for us today? 

Wild and Free is an invitation to find freedom from the cultural captivity that holds us back, and freedom to step into God''s wild and holy call in our lives. Jess and Hayley answer difficult questions that so many women have asked them over the years, including:

With fresh biblical insight tracing all the way back to Eve and a treasury of practical application, Jess and Hayley reveal how women today can walk in the true liberty we already have in Jesus--because you certainly don''t have to quiet the voice that God gave you when he created you to sing. 

Wild and Free will help you shake off the lies of insecurity in your life and step forward to maximize your God-given influence for his glory and the world''s good.

A more abundant life is within your reach. Join Jess Connolly as she casts a fresh vision for how to break free of cheap grace and empty rule-keeping and change the world rather than be changed by it.

Grace is always good news, but it''s not cheap. True grace compels us to change, and that''s where holiness comes in. Jess Connolly--beloved writer, speaker, business coach, coauthor of Wild and Free, and author of You Are the Girl for the Job--will be the first to admit that not long ago, like many women, she embraced God''s grace, but found herself forgetting holiness altogether.

Dance, Stand, Run charts Jess''s discovery that holiness was never meant to be a shaming reminder of what we "should" do, but rather a profound privilege of becoming more like Christ.

In Dance, Stand, Run, Jess shares the truth that changed her life and her faith forever: once we''ve gripped the grace that Jesus has given us by faith and planted our feet on his holy ground, we become ambassadors of life, hope, truth, and love.

Jess will give you the encouragement you need to finally:

Dance, Stand, Run is an invitation to God''s daughters to step into the movements of abundant life: dancing in grace, standing firm in holiness, and running on mission.

Get ready to leave defeat and disbelief in your dust, and step boldly into the life God has purposed for you from the beginning.

It''s tough when your gifts and passions are stuck in holding patterns of insecurity, shame, and comparison. But the truth is, every experience of your life has prepared you to live out your God-given purpose in this exact moment. The world is hurting and our lives are waiting, we don''t have time stay stuck--we''ve got to make a move. 

You Are the Girl for the Job is not an empty catchphrase. It''s the straight-up truth God has proclaimed over your life from the beginning. It''s not a statement about your capacity, but rather about His--and that''s why we can dare to believe it''s true.

With powerful insights and heart-pumping hope, bestselling author Jess Connolly is here to coach you through six steps toward empowered purpose:

You don''t have to hide, hold back, or wait for permission when God calls you forward. Let this book--as well as the study guide and video study (sold separately)--be your jumpstart into confident, purposed living.

You were made for more than a love/hate relationship with your body.

It''s one thing to know in your head that you were created in the image of God. Yet it''s quite another to experience this belief in your body, against the cultural ideals of a woman''s worth. And between the two lies a world of frustration, disappointment, and the shame of somehow feeling both too much and never enough in your body.

Jess Connolly is a bestselling author, sought-after speaker, and trusted Bible teacher who knows this inner conflict all too well, and this book details her journey--and yours--of setting out to discover how to break free from the broken beliefs we all hold about our bodies that hold us back from our fullest life.

The truest thing about you is that you are made and loved by God. And the truest thing about Him is that He cannot make bad things. This book will help you believe it with your whole self, as Jess guides you through an eye-opening, empowering process of:

Far from a superficial issue, self-image is a spiritual issue, because God has named your body good from the beginning. Whether your struggle is with eating and exercise habits, stress or trauma, infertility or injury, this book makes space for you to experience God meeting you in this tender place, and ring His freedom bell over your body in a whole new way.

God has a purpose for you. But maybe what you’re meant to be is still a mystery. So where do you start? Jess Connolly will help you get answers to this question and more, no matter where you are in your journey.

Glory Girl will jumpstart your search for purpose. In each meaningful chapter (plus room for reflective journaling), Jess’s wise words will help you: discover the things you are really passionate about, understand your strengths and weaknesses, face your fears, catch the vision, make a plan, and find the confidence you need to make your move—all in the bold belief that God has called you to every step of the journey.
