In Lacking Nothing, Natasha tells the story of the year everything she thought she needed was stripped away, and what she discovered when it was. It is a book about fasting and feasting, about gluttony and grace, and about the God who meets us in our emptiness and proves Himself to be more than enough.
It is one of the most searingly honest books I’ve read in years.
Don’t wait on this one. Grab a copy, pass it to a friend who is suffering, and let Natasha’s story remind you, and them, that Jesus is enough.
