Set Apart: Stop Comparing, Own Your Giftedness, and Rest in Jesus - Paperback

by Denisse Copeland (Author)

What do you do when that voice in your head tells you you're not enough? Not smart enough, not pretty enough, not capable enough, not present enough. Where do you turn when the world's promise that you can have it all becomes a crushing expectation that you must do it all, at all times, and keep a smile fixed on your face while you wither inside?

Unpacking the biblical story of Mary and Martha as she shares her own story of recognizing her unique giftedness, Denisse Copeland shares the liberating truth that you have a right to be you. Just you, at the feet of Jesus. She shows you how to embrace your identity as a woman set apart, not to do it all but to be exactly who God created you to be. No apologies. No guilt. No compromise.

If you're tired of comparing your life to others as you strive to be all things to all people, Set Apart is your invitation to lay your burdens down and abide in Jesus--faithful, free, and fulfilled.

We have the story of Mary and Martha all wrong--and it's crushing us.

Jesus didn't rebuke Martha for her hospitality and service. He rebuked her because her heart was not in the right place. Think about that. Jesus didn't want Martha to change who she was. He wanted to change who she served.

By unpacking the biblical story of Mary and Martha, as well as her own story of recognizing her unique giftedness, Denisse Copeland shows you how to embrace your identity as a woman set apart to be exactly who God created you to be, whether that is a C-suite executive or a stay-at-home mom.

No apologies. No guilt. No compromise.
