“This book provides believers with a timely tool for today’s generation of women. It’s easy for us to look to the right and the left and feel that we’re either doing too much or not enough for God’s kingdom. Or worse yet, there’s a nagging fear that whatever it is we put our hand to, we’re doing it wrong. Jess has a beautiful way of pointing us back to the gospel and making it simple to live out in today’s world. Her words remind us that our purpose on earth is simply to partner with the work already completed on the cross. In the same way that we can walk in freedom thanks to God’s gift of Jesus, we can also walk in humility thanks to God’s gift of the Holy Spirit. Thanks, Jess, for teaching us the both-ands of following Jesus. Take It Too Far will ignite women of God, and also provide a fresh presentation of the Good News to the lost.”
“Take It Too Far is an incredible resource for those who are tired of holding back. Abundant Life, Boundless Love, Unending Grace—yes! We need all those things! This isn’t a time in culture when we can play small or sit on our hands. It’s time for us to take it too far, and Jess leads us straight to the heart of the matter.”
“I think of Jess Connolly as some sort of firework-sunflower who tells the truth and gets you on your feet. I love that she is honest and inspiring in her writing. I love that she’s faithful and intentional about how she teaches the Bible. And I love that she makes me want to give her a hug. I love her newest work, Take It Too Far, and I know you will, too.”
“What an incredible thing to fix our thoughts and actions on . . . these attributes of God in us that we can take too far! That means we can’t be too much when it comes to the qualities outlined in this devo—love, joy, peace, and patience. I am so thankful for this devotional to fix my attention on the areas where I can live in freedom with no limits!”
“Jess Connolly’s friendship and teaching always leave me more in love with Jesus. With compassion and unwavering conviction, Jess offers a desperately needed invitation to quit playing it safe and take God at His word, trusting His character and believing that we are who He says we are. Beautifully written and theologically sound, Take It Too Far is not merely Jess’s theory . . . it’s her heartbeat. Don’t miss out on the transforming truth waiting for you in these pages!”
“We serve an outrageous God. He is a creative genius, a brilliant visionary, an infinite lover, and an unrelenting strength. We could spend our whole lives plumbing the depths of our Father, but too often we are content to sit on the seashore. Not Jess Connolly. Jess understands that when our vision of God is small, our faith and our lives will be too. In these pages, Jess dares us to lean in and out, further than we ever have before, and just see what God will do. I sincerely hope you will join her.”
“This is not just another devotional. Jess takes us back to the foundations of our faith and helps us rehearse the pillars so that we can run wholeheartedly—with full confidence in what God has called us to do—into our missions. What I love most is the real-life applications that accompany each devo and that we get the gift of clear and concise practicals with a bit of ‘fire’ that only Jess can give. Even here, her voice and heart shine through along with her unwavering desire to see each of us live just a little more freely. This is exactly what my soul needed.”
“If there’s more to know about God’s heart, mind, and ways, I’m the girl who wants to be first in line, in all the way, and the one who wants to know! This book is going to tear down every wall we’ve built under the influence of limiting beliefs. For one hundred days, get ready to stretch wide your heart, renew your mind, refresh your soul, and get lost in the extravagant love of our limitless God. Like the healthiest of Enneagram eights, Jess will challenge us to push out farther, into the deep, while taking herself there too. Read this book if you agree that it’s time stop playing small or keeping things safe by letting God’s word take us further into the reality of His kingdom; further than we ever thought we could go!”
