Average rating4
No more hiding or people-pleasing up in here, sisters. No more being sidelined in your own life. It is time for us to be brave, to claim our gifts and quirks and emotions. You are set free and set up and set on fire. NOW you can get busy doing what you were placed on this planet to do. NOW you can be honest, honest, honest about all of it, even the hard stuff, even the humiliating stuff, even the secret stuff. NOW you can walk in your convictions of faith and ask new questions unafraid. NOW you can be so free, because you are not searching for value from any source other than your own beautiful soul made piece by piece by God who adores you and is ready to get on with the business of unleashing you into this world. In this book, I break it down into five self-reflective categories—who I am, what I need, what I want, what I believe, and how I connect—and by working your way through them, you will learn to own your space, ground, and gifts (they are YOURS, sister); be strong in your relationships and lay down passive aggression, resentment, drama, and compliance; say GUILT-FREE what you want and what you need; and welcome spiritual curiosity and all the fantastic change that doing so creates. You with me, beloveds? If we do this work on our own selves now, not only will we discover a life truly worth living, but we will free our daughters to rise up behind us, with spines straight, heads up, and coated in our strength.

Fierce, Free, and Full of Fire is Jen Hatmaker's encouragement to any woman who's been told she is too much. Too little. To tone it down. To ramp it up. Any woman who's beat herself up for being too fat. Too skinny. Any woman who's ever believed her dream is unattainable or that she has to mold herself to fit the expectations of society.
This book is Jen Hatmaker telling us as women that it's not only acceptable, but necessary, that we live free - free to walk in our God-given callings, free to accept our bodies whatever shape and size they may be, free to use the skills and talents we each have as only we can. She clearly makes the point that the world needs each of us, as we are, with our varying personalities and different gifts, and that we don't need to be like our neighbors.
Women, read this and let it liberate you. Men, read this and gain some valuable insight into the women in your life and how you can best encourage and support them.
