When Perfect Isn't Enough: How I Conquered My Fear of the Proverbs 31 Woman

It’s Time to Laugh Away the Myth of the “Perfect Woman.” Women juggle endless responsibilities these days, from bringing home the bacon and frying it up in the pan to making sure husband and kids have a good supply of pork rinds—and that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Whether we’re creating (burnt) offerings in the kitchen, balancing listing checkbooks, or keeping romance alive and well (or at least breathing), women can quickly become burned out, stressed out, and just plain worn out.

In When Perfect Isn’t Enough, humor writer Nancy Kennedy approaches this misperception with her trademark wit, describing a hilarious quest to become the Proverbs 31 Woman that will bring relief to your heart and tears of laughter to your eyes. Like Nancy, you will be profoundly changed by a life-transforming truth: God loves you just as you are and has given you all the grace and gifts you need to be exactly who he has called you to be.

Nancy Kennedy is the author of six books, including When He Doesn’t Believe, Prayers God Always Answers, and Move Over, Victoria, I Know the Real Secret. She has been published frequently in Christian Parenting Today, Marriage Partnership, and numerous other publications. Nancy makes her home in Florida. She and her husband, Barry, are the parents of two daughters.
