With unflinching honesty and profound vulnerability, , not so they can learn about the hardships she overcame, but to introduce them to Godās power to transform broken, fearful, unfulfilled lives for his glory. Wenger writes, āThis book is a call. A shout from the rooftops. An invitation. The words youāre about to read have been lovingly written for you. To shake you out of your settling. To shake you out of your commitment to not-enoughness. To shake you out of your need for certainty. To remind you of who you are. And to help you get clear on why youāre here.ā
Wenger explores themes such as the āenoughnessā illusion, too āmuchness,ā the role of the ego, self-protective patterns, essential identity, and more. She repeatedly fleshes out her theme: āWe were all purposefully madeāon purpose, with purpose, and for purpose.ā But, she asserts, āYour purpose is not about you. Itās for you, but itās not about you. Itās for you because it brings fulfillment. Itās for you because it gives you clarity. But itās about something bigger. Itās about moving forward as Godās kingdom. Itās about being love to our neighbors. Itās about a bigger work that he is doing through us collectively. Itās not about you.ā
Wenger combines memoir, life coaching, biblical insights, and advice pertaining to health and wellness as she invites readers to shape their lives around Godās command given through the words of the apostle Paul in Romans 12:2: āDo not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.ā (Beyond the Book Media)
