Today is a very special day. Jen Hatmaker's new book, For the Love, comes out today. I have been privileged to read an advanced copy of this book and I must say that it is amazing. As a person who is struggling to figure out exactly what it means to seek the Kingdom, this book spoke straight to my heart.
Jen examines the life of the individual, the church, and community. She speaks honestly about her struggles with the people of God and those in her own family (Parenting! For the Love!). She takes an open look at the issues that we struggle with as we try to be women who do it all, have it all, and be it all, perfectly.
The beauty of this book is that even though Jen speaks about the tough issues that we face and forces you to dig deep into your own life and thoughts, she also gives you a little break and offers comical respites, such as her own personal Jimmy Fallon-esque Thank You Notes. Just when you are about to cry your eyes out because you know that she wrote that passage with you in mind, she jumps to fashion crimes and you begin to cry with laughter!
This book is a great way to begin to have those tough conversations with those around you, in your home, in your community, in your life. It helps us to start figuring out what this life is all about and how it should be lived - For the Love!
