“It’s been a long time since I’ve read a book so powerfully, pointedly affirming in such a truth-telling, coffee-with-a-friend way. Jess has a way of gently and boldly removing our blinders, holding all our excuses for a minute, and allowing us to freely see who God made us to be—the women we already are. What makes this message so powerful is that Jess does this in a way that is deeply rooted in Scripture, real life experiences, and genuine, authentic love for every girl who longs to be seen and understood. For any woman who’s ever felt a little like she didn’t belong, a little like she may not measure up, and a little like she’s too messy, imperfect, or extra, this book will be a blessing to your heart, just as it was to mine.”
“up a chair in front of the reader, grabs her by both shoulders, and stares her straight in the eye to tell her, in no uncertain terms, the unique value she has to herself and the world. This message is so needed and resonated deeply with me because, no matter how successful you might be, the trap of comparison can make you believe you’re not quite the right person to do what you do. This book slaps away any doubt and replaces it with the truth of God’s Word, combined with the loving assurance of a friend who wants you to see what she sees; a girl God picked for the task in front of her. Thank you for writing this gift for the world.”
“Have you found yourself saying, I’m not cut out for this, This is too hard, and I’m not enough? Me too. But books like Jess Connolly’s lift our eyes and hearts to remind us that we ARE the girls for the job! Juggling and compartmentalizing and balancing can feel overwhelming, so Jess has written a manifesto for women who dare to believe we are capable of more and willing to jump into the work of calling. Jess wrote with such power and conviction not only because she believes this, but because she is living it out!”
“When we are tempted to weigh and measure our own capacity, Jess Connolly comes alongside like a friend who cheers you on, reminding you that Jesus is the hero of the story. That’s the good news found in You Are the Girl for the Job.”
“Jess does it again. She gets in your business and messes you up. For anyone (like me) who has walked in doubt and defeat, and taken up residence there, this book will jumpstart your heart. God always fulfills what he started; we need only say yes.”
“In You Are the Girl for the Job, Jess writes with characteristic passion as she calls women everywhere to step into their God-given purpose. Using biblical insights, personal stories, and practical wisdom, Jess encourages and equips any woman who has ever held herself back to rise up and run towards the call of God on her life.”
“You Are the Girl for the Job is an incredible book for women who want to use their passions, dreams, and stories to change the world. It’s deeply rooted in truth, graced with stories you can relate to, and it will give you the language you need to continually encourage those around you.”
“In a season where women are awakening like never before, Jess uses You Are the Girl for the Job to remind us that it really is okay to roar. Heaven wants us to be seen, to be heard, and to color outside the lines. We don’t have to be timid to be prove our humility or ladylikeness. We don’t have to do what we’ve always done the way we we’ve always done it. And we don’t even have to fully understand where we’re going or how we’re going to get there, as long as we dare to believe that God has indeed called us. Jess isn’t just inviting us to go out and change the world. She is daring us to change our inner world in a radically disruptive, beautiful and rebellious way. By believing in our own worthiness, we give other women overdue permission to do the same!”
“To fully live into the life right in front of us is one of the most challenging callings we are given. Jess Connolly lovingly and wisely invites us down this path which she has not only written about in theory but has actually lived out so beautifully.”
