When Strivings Cease

I've read other books about not being enough, hustling for your worth, etc. and where those books fall flat at parts, I did not experience that when reading When Strivings Cease. Ruth Chou Simons navigates what it means to let go of striving for your value, for perfection, for whatever it is we hope to fill the gaps and spaces inside us with. To let go and redirect your gaze toward God, His character, His provision, and His truth. She reminds us how we are equipped to fight lies and how we are to view our insufficiency as a means of celebrating all the more God's sufficiency. She shares vulnerable and honest stories and anecdotes as helpful illustrations and is so relatable because she does not claim to have it all figured out. I also appreciated how she handled Scripture with a respect for context and its authority, inerrancy, and sufficiency.
