Publisher's Summary:
For the Love: Fighting for Grace in a World of Impossible Standards by Jen Hatmaker is a self-help book about women's pursuit of perfection.
In the modern world, most women have the opportunity to do and be whatever they set their minds to. If a woman wants to be a chief executive officer (CEO), she can be a CEO. If a woman wants to be a stay-at-home mom, she can be a stay-at-home mom.
However, this land of opportunity has also given rise to the idea that women can have it all, be it all, and be successful in every aspect of their lives all by themselves. Unfortunately, this is not possible, but that has not stopped women from running themselves ragged in the pursuit of perfection. In order to live a fulfilled and happy life, women need to come to terms with the fact that society's standards are impossible to meet and then figure out what they truly want to do while finding ways to delegate the rest....
Please note: This is a summary and analysis of the book and not the original book.

Members Reviews:
Let him without sin cast the first stone.
Man has never been perfect. At least according to Jesus, back when he was drawing in the sand, asking for whoever didn't have sin to cast the first stone. And thinking about that story: it was a bunch of men trying to find fault with a woman.
Jen Hatmaker shows that God's grace still abounds today. Instaread cuts to the chase: you aren't perfect; God loves you. For those wondering, this summary gives a brief overview of Hatmaker's book with special focus on today's woman: from CEO to mom, and oftentimes both. They follow-up from the summary with a bulleted list of the key takeaways, then they go into several pages of detail about each takeaway.
Whether you already read the book and want reminders, or are thinking of reading the book and want to know what it's about, or want to skip the book and know the book's key points, Instaread nails it.
~~ We need to quit tryin' to be perfect ladies! It ain't worth it! ~~
The original book by Jen Hatmaker is a self-help book for women who think they need to pursue perfection. There are nine Key Takeaways in this book all of which are important and TRUE. Here are a couple to whet your appetite:
>>> #1 - "The idea that women can do it all, perfect it all, and have it all is a farce that destroys happiness. Women need to choose to do the thinks they love and excel at, delegate the rest and let go of the guilt that comes from thinking they have to be perfect in every area of their lives."
>>> #4 - "Women need to ignore the messages that say they are not good enough,think enough, or pretty enough. The media's portrayal of women is not real and trying to attain that standard is a waste of time and effort."
If you are a lady struggling with your self-image, feel that you are failing at being the perfect mother/wife then this book, yes, even this Instaread summary could well be for you.
