Book Synopsis
If I asked you to name your favourite things-the things you love-how long would it take for you to name yourself?
If you're anything like me, you've tried to love God and love others without thinking too much about yourself. Wanting to avoid self-centeredness, I doubted myself and condemned myself-I even hated myself-until I noticed the ancient words of Mark 12:31, "Love your neighbour as yourself." A gentle whisper led me in a new direction and everything in my life began to change.
In You Are Enough, Jonathan Puddle teaches how to:
- Love your body and embrace the space you take up.
- Discern God's presence and feel safe with your creator.
- Get to know your emotions and inner life.
- Encounter love in the most scarred, scared, and sacred places of your heart.
- Love your whole self the way God does, with gentleness and compassion.
Drawing from Scripture, trauma-informed therapy, Christian inner-healing, breathing and embodiment exercises, and silent prayer & contemplative spirituality, You Are Enough is a holistic healing journey towards abundant life. Daily readings are easy to understand, with practical exercises to help you embrace the truth of your beloved-ness in every part of your mind, body, soul and spirit.
Features guided audio and video meditations to take your journey to the next level.

Review Quotes

"In his book, You are Enough, Jonathan Puddle takes us day by day into a deeper connection to God and learning to love ourselves. It's a simple devotional that is easy to digest, yet profound as it pulls the curtain back and reveals unhealthy thinking, replacing it with truth.

"Neuroscience has proven our brains can change. Neuroplasticity is real. It has also proven the process of change requires novel and repeatable practices; one could even say we need daily liturgies. Jonathan Puddle has provided us with a tangible resource that is not only rooted in proven science, psychology, professional counseling and therapeutic modalities, but, most importantly, his own lived-experience of seeking wholeness. Jonathan's devotional compassionately provides us with practical resources to continue our own healing journey." - Dr. Jerome D. Lubbe, author of The Brain-Based Enneagram: you are not A number
"You Are Enough has transformed and reshaped my life. I am deeply grateful." - Tiffany Meaney, a reader from Seattle, Washington
"Honestly, I feel like this is the devotional I've waited for my whole life." - Sarah Sanderson, a reader from Oregon
