Bestselling author, entrepreneur, and speaker Ruth Chou Simons calls women to discover how God's profound gift of grace and favor invites them to rest from chasing approval and earning love, and instead discover the freedom of true belonging and worth that doesn't depend on them.

This is not a call to get busy; it’s a call to get discerning. In today's image-driven age, women face increased anxiety, often feeling that their worth is tied to achievements rather than their true selves. This leads to a constant sense of inadequacy in various aspects of life. Ruth Chou Simons shares her journey of grappling with feelings of worthiness as a Taiwanese immigrant caught between cultures, striving to prove herself. Her transformative realization centers on the profound gift of grace from a merciful God. In this work, she invites readers to break free from the relentless pursuit of self-improvement and superficial validation. Ruth encourages examining our tendencies to seek acceptance through performance, urging a shift in perspective: from viewing God as someone to impress to embracing His welcoming grace. She emphasizes the liberation found in understanding that we cannot earn God's favor through our efforts alone. With personal anecdotes, biblical insights, practical applications, and original artwork, this book reveals that God's favor is the only currency we need, affirming that in Christ, we are enough.
