Publisher's Description
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER No more hiding or people-pleasing up in here, sisters. No more being sidelined in your own life. It is time for us to be brave, to claim our gifts and quirks and emotions. You are set free and set up and set on fire. NOW you can get busy doing what you were placed on this planet to do. NOW you can be honest, honest, honest about all of it, even the hard stuff, even the humiliating stuff, even the secret stuff. NOW you can walk in your convictions of faith and ask new questions unafraid. NOW you can be so free, because you are not searching for value from any source other than your own beautiful soul made piece by piece by God who adores you and is ready to get on with the business of unleashing you into this world. In this book, I break it down into five self-reflective categories—who I am, what I need, what I want, what I believe, and how I connect—and by working your way through them, you will learn to own your space, ground, and gifts (they are YOURS, sister); be strong in your relationships and lay down passive aggression, resentment, drama, and compliance; say GUILT-FREE what you want and what you need; and welcome spiritual curiosity and all the fantastic change that doing so creates. You with me, beloveds? If we do this work on our own selves now, not only will we discover a life truly worth living, but we will free our daughters to rise up behind us, with spines straight, heads up, and coated in our strength.

“Here’s the truth: Jen has been pushing me out of my comfort zone like a loving big sister for over a decade, and that’s exactly what reading this book is like, in the best possible way: like sitting across from someone who loves you enough to tell you the truth and light up your heart and set you free. I want every woman in my life to read this book—every single one.”
“Some books are all in the head or all in the heart, others are all in the hustle or the habit, but this book is blood and bone and soul. It pulses with energy and heat, with sincerity and goodness, strength and truth. It is beautifully written, sincerely good, authentically lived absolutely, but I also believe it will literally save lives. I cannot wait to press this book into the hands of every woman I know. Jen has never settled for the wide and easy path. She chases after Jesus and redraws the margins as the center of God’s kin-dom but like any true disciple of Jesus, she always leaves a path for us to follow too. A good guide who is worthy of your trust, Jen has offered us more than a map or a guidebook, this is truly a path for transformation, wholeness, and freedom for the sake of the world. I love this book and I love her.”
“You will be delighted by Jen’s stories of pre-adolescence. You will resonate with her moments of self-doubt. You will drink deeply from her words of affirmation. But in this book, the greatest gift Jen offers us is the language to navigate a world that is unkind to women, but desperately needs us. This is not the ‘women’s Christian living’ book of old. If we let them, Jen’s words just might release our fierceness, give us the push we need to choose freedom, and in so doing set the world on fire.”
“Spending time with Jen Hatmaker, in person or on the page, invariably reminds me just how much possibility there is in this life. She is tuned for connection and offers up a pretty damn fearless point of view here, something we could all use a hearty dose of.”
“Our spiritual journeys are as personal, nuanced, and diverse as we women are, but they are also beautifully interdependent. More than ever, we need to cheer each other on, even and especially in spite of our differences. Jen leads this charge inviting us into her hard-won and often hilarious spiritual lessons learned, and in so doing, inspires us in our own good/hard work of uncovering who we are as women, who God is, and what we are to do with it.”
“I often read books and find myself ferociously taking notes for myself to reference later—but in Fierce, Free, and Full of Fire, I find myself taking notes for me, my friends, and my daughters. The message that we have to grant ourselves grace, while holding ourselves to a standard of excellence (not perfection!), is timeless and legacy worthy. This is a must-read book for today—and for generations to come.”
