"Nothing to Prove: Why We Can Stop Trying So Hard" by Jennie Allen is a Christian nonfiction book that challenges the mindset of constantly striving to prove one's worth to others, to oneself, and to God. Allen invites readers to find freedom from self-induced pressure by admitting their own insufficiency and embracing that Jesus is enough. The book is divided into two parts: the first part explores the human experience of striving and feeling inadequate, while the second part focuses on how God is enough to fill those needs. Each chapter in the second part begins with a retelling of a Bible story and includes practical guides for deeper reflection and application.
