"Every Piece of Me" Review

Published by Evangelical Church Library Association

Clark’s delightful anecdotes are guaranteed to induce a chuckle as well as deeper insight into aspects of life that require God’s healing touch. She is completely vulnerable in telling her own stories, from struggling with bipolar disorder to struggling to obtain a genuine Philly cheesesteak. Capable of both the profound and the comical, Every Piece of Me elicits discussions and spiritual prompts that truly call women to evaluate their everyday lives and how they glorify the Lord.

In Every Piece of Me, Jerusha Clark guides women on the path to discovering their identities in Christ. She addresses several primarily female experiences such as body image, motherhood, femininity, and female sexuality.

But Clark also views experiences encountered by all humans—such as idolatry, fear, and decision-making—in the context of the feminine experience. Clark is conversational, honest, and witty in her exploration of female identity. Through personal experience and biblical truth, she illuminates the inherent value women have as daughters of the Lord.

Every Piece of Me encourages women to assess their everyday lives and how they reflect their inherent value as daughters of God. Each chapter ends with questions for reflection and discussion as well as recommended reading. The back of the book also includes a collected notes section.
