You Were Never Meant to Do It All: A 40-Day Devotional on the Goodness of Being Human (Embrace Your Limits and Live Authentically ) - Hardcover
Synopsis
2025 Gospel Coalition Book Award (Devotional Literature)
Are you exhausted, anxious, and sick of feeling like you should always be doing one more thing?
In this 40-day devotional, award-winning author Kelly Kapic helps you embrace the truth that God never intended for you to do it all. Topics include:
● facing your limits in a world that demands more, more, more
● why God's love isn't contingent on your behavior
● the goodness of your body and the importance of embodied worship
● finding beauty in humility, dependence on others, and rest
● cultivating gratitude and embracing the rhythms and seasons of life
Each devotion begins with a meaningful quote and ends with reflection questions. Kapic shows that limitations aren't sinful but rather that God purposefully designed humans to have limits and depend on one another. Rightly appreciated, these good limits promote freedom, joy, growth, and community.
This devotional is based on Kapic's 2022 book, You're Only Human, and covers the same themes in a more accessible format. As you take this 40-day devotional journey, you'll follow a path to more holistic living that fosters a vision for healthy self-understanding, life-giving relationships, and meaningful contributions to the world.

From the Back Cover
A 40-Day Journey to Embrace Your Limits and Live Authentically
Are you exhausted, anxious, and sick of feeling like you should always be doing one more thing?
Kelly Kapic is here to help--not with the latest time-management advice but with a refreshing approach to embracing the truth that God never intended for us to do it all. God purposefully designed humans to have limits and depend on one another.
Drawing from his award-winning book You're Only Human, Kapic offers forty daily devotions that guide us on a path to more holistic living. These devotions foster a vision for healthy self-understanding, life-giving relationships, and meaningful contributions to the world.
Praise for You're Only Human
"This book isn't just about the limits of being human--it's a celebration of being human."
--Karen Swallow Prior, author of On Reading Well and The Evangelical Imagination
"Reading this book is like taking that first breath of fresh air after being underwater for too long. Kapic makes a paradigm-shifting case regarding God's gift of finitude."
--Julius J. Kim, former president, The Gospel Coalition
"I love this book. With enthusiasm, I will recommend it to all the pastors and ministry leaders I mentor."
--Paul David Tripp, author of New Morning Mercies and Lead: 12 Gospel Principles for Leadership in the Church
