    About this audiobook

    This audiobook includes bonus tracks with interviews from Shauna Niequist (Present Over Perfect), Hillary McBride (Mothers, Daughters, and Body Image), Pete Enns (How the Bible Actually Works), and more from Jen's podcast, For the Love!

    No more hiding or people-pleasing up in here, sisters. No more being sidelined in your own life. It is time for us to be brave, to claim our gifts and quirks and emotions. You are set free and set up and set on fire.

    NOW you can get busy doing what you were placed on this planet to do. NOW you can be honest, honest, honest about all of it, even the hard stuff, even the humiliating stuff, even the secret stuff. NOW you can walk in your convictions of faith and ask new questions unafraid. NOW you can be so free, because you are not searching for value from any source other than your own beautiful soul made piece by piece by God who adores you and is ready to get on with the business of unleashing you into this world.

    In this audiobook, I break it down into five self-reflective categories—who I am, what I need, what I want, what I believe, and how I connect—and by working your way through them, you will learn to

    • own your space, ground, and gifts (they are YOURS, sister);
    • be strong in your relationships and lay down passive aggression, resentment, drama, and compliance;
    • say GUILT-FREE what you want and what you need; and
    • welcome spiritual curiosity and all the fantastic change that doing so creates.

    You with me, beloveds? If we do this work on our own selves now, not only will we discover a life truly worth living, but we will free our daughters to rise up behind us, with spines straight, heads up, and coated in our strength.

      Absolutely. Amazing. I didn’t know who Jen Hatmaker was before I read this and I was nervous that I would be wasting my time or be listening to terrible advice that would not apply to my life.

      Boy, was I wrong. Way wrong. This book has changed my perspective about myself, my challenges, my environment, and Jesus. There were so many new and fresh perspectives, and they were all genuine and REAL. Jen is RAW. She tells it like it is. I appreciate that. Sometimes, we need to hear those tough words and we need to hear them plain as day - no beating around the bush or having to decipher a message. It is what is is. This book has inspired and reignited my fire to keep pushing, learning, growing, and loving. Myself and others. I took notes and was moved to tears often. I felt the Holy Spirit speaking through Jen in a way I have not experienced in a long time with any other book(s) I have read.

      This is the real deal. I will definitely be reading again!

      Love the way Jen lays it out and speaks honestly about life and the challenges we as women face. Thank you for such a wonderful reminder to be myself and to not be afraid to challenge my belief systems without compromising my love for Jesus.

      This book was everything I needed and more! I love Jen’s spirit and personality. She definitely delivered in this book. This book allowed me to think deeper about myself and find ways to become healthier. I loved reading this!

      Jen is an amazing writer and has such a way of inspiring and challenging people. I walk away from this book ready to do the work to match my insides to my outsides in an authentically fierce free and full of fire way!

      Fair warning: I have a blind spot for Jen Hatmaker. Listened to this one on Audible--I listened to another book of hers as well, and this one also felt like a friend just chatting at me, telling me what I needed to do or validating choices I've already made. I'll be listening to sections of it again, I'm sure.
    • 3/5
      There are a lot of good things in this book. As Jen Hatmaker said of the book, some chapters really spoke to me, and some didn't at all.
    • 4/5
      Fierce, Free, and Full of Fire mixes Jen Hatmaker’s personal story, spiritual thoughts, and self-improvement principles to empower women to live in freedom. Reading this book made me feel like the author was a friend I’d known for years. She’s funny, honest, and challenging. I didn’t agree with everything she said and I found the mild cussing to be mostly superfluous, but I did benefit from reading this book and I intend to reread it annually.Truth lies at the core of everything in Fierce, Free, and Full of Fire. From this concept, comes the freedom and empowerment that Jen Hatmaker invites readers to push for. Whether the chapter addressed who I am, what I need, what I want, what I believe, or how I connect, some part of each anchored in the concept of truth, be it telling the truth, accepting the truth, or searching for the truth. As I read Fierce, Free, and Full of Fire, I found that some chapters refreshed and affirmed my heart, some challenged previous thoughts, and some didn’t really apply to me. I Want This Dream and I Believe in Spiritual Curiosity ranked as my favorite chapters. I Want to Connect Without Drama was the most challenging as my dysfunctional family creates abundant drama. I recommend Fierce, Free, and Full of Fire by Jen Hatmaker.Disclosure of Material Connection: I was provided a copy of this book by the author or publisher. All opinions in this review are my own.
    • 4/5
      In Fierce, Free, and Full of Fire, Jen Hatmaker explores the aspects of becoming the most “glorious you.” She discusses what has allowed her to progress in her own personal development, encouraging readers to do the same through an abundance of good-hearted stories and advice.While reading, I appreciated the process that Hatmaker seems to engage when approaching growth and change. She cares deeply, devotes the time necessary to learning and understanding, and as a result, shares plenty of solid takeaways from her experience. However, because she consistently references her faith and love of Jesus, I would have liked to see more on-page biblical content to complement all that she writes.If you are an audiobook listener—and interested in this book—I recommend checking this audio version out. Hatmaker reads the book herself, so the narration is full of her expected energy and charm, plus plenty of bonus content not found in the physical book. It definitely enhances the experience of Fierce, Free, and Full of Fire.I received a complimentary copy of this book and the opportunity to provide an honest review. I was not required to write a positive review, and all the opinions I have expressed are my own.
    • 5/5
      To me, this is Jen Hatmaker's best book yet. She really lays out her feelings and her struggles and her experience and her hopes here, and my gosh it is GOOD.Jen divides the book up into sections like: Who I Am, What I Need, What I Want, What I Believe, and How I Connect. There are a few chapters in each of these sections that talk about things like community, friendship, body image, things like that. Jen makes it very clear that some chapters will resonate with us more than others and that this will vary from person to person, and I 100% agree with that. I also think it may surprise everyone when they find which parts of the book speak loudest to their hearts.For example, I enjoyed the chapters about community and the value of good friendships the most. I also really loved how Jen describes three different types of women (Mega, Mezzo, and Modest Women) and how the world needs all of us, no matter where we fall along that spectrum.When I got to Chapter 3, which Jen calls "I Am Strong In My Body": THIS is the part of the book that I have read a hundred times already, and it has resulted in tears every single time. Apparently I have more feelings about my own physical self than I realize. Jen shares a suggestion by her friend and fellow author Hillary McBride that we talk and think about our bodies with the word "she" rather than "it" and OH MY GOSH. Such a great idea! Such wonderful perspective! What a concept, to be kinder to our own selves! It seems like we should already know this, but we will never stop needing to hear it.Yes, a lot of the information included in here seems like stuff we ought to already know or things we should already do. But what makes this book special is that this book, these suggestions, are things that Jen has already examined in her life-whether by her own choice or because she was forced to-and so her thoughts and opinions feel real and robust and credible.Many of us that like to read these Christian nonfiction/self help/memoir books have encountered a few that feel a little hollow on the inside, like regurgitated blog posts. But this one does not. It is really wonderful. I've already read it, and now I'm listening to it. I've gone back and reread parts. I've highlighted SO MUCH, my copy almost looks ridiculous. But I think there is something in here for every one of us.Audiobook Notes: The audiobook is FANTASTIC. I added it to my read (print + audio) because Jen Hatmaker reads it herself, and it feels 100+% like she is sitting there talking TO ME. I can tell exactly which chapters resonate with her the most because her emotion was not edited out. Yes, she sheds tears. Yes, her throat catches here and there. The best part? There is a lot of bonus content in the forms of extra short chapters and sidenotes.Title: Fierce, Free, and Full of Fire: The Guide to Being Glorious You by Jen HatmakerNarrated by: Jen HatmakerLength: 9 hours, 57 minutes, UnabridgedPublished by: Thomas NelsonI received a print copy of this book for free from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
