Women everywhere feel pressured to have perfect Christian lives,
perfect family lives, and to look perfect in their jeans. Instead
of feeling good about themselves, most of them just feel like tired
supergirls, living in the gap between who they are and who they
long to be.
Susanna Foth Aughtmon honestly confesses her battles with pride,
worry, fatigue, beauty, jealousy, and chocolate. In every chapter
she faces a nemesis--like Worry Man or Mrs. Prideful--who implies
that she is not living up to her potential. She meets each enemy
with the secret weapon of God's Truth. Readers will identify with
her humorous examples from daily life and will gain insight from
this tired supergirl on her journey of grace.
You know the pressure. To have the perfect Christian life and
the perfect family. To be the perfect friend. To look perfect in
those jeans. To be a supergirl. Instead of feeling good about
yourself, you're left stuck in the gap between who you are and who
you long to be.
Susanna Foth Aughtmon knows what it's like to be a tired supergirl,
fighting the enemies of pride, worry, jealousy, busyness,
loneliness, and many more. With humor and courage, she lays bare
those times in her own life when she found it a challenge to live
the life God wants for her. But even tired supergirls have a secret
weapon: God's Truth.
With God's help, all of us can win the day against the subtle
voices of Miz Do Good, Worry Man, Little Miss No Fair, and every
other nemesis we encounter.
