Erin Loechner, author of Chasing Slow (forthcoming), Design for Mankind blog
If ever there was a time for a book about how freedom in Christ directly speaks to womanhood in our demanding culture, it is now. No matter what our particular calling as women, we are enough! But goodness, I needed this truth in this way from women who are struggling to figure it out, just like I am.
Jami Nato, blogger/writer/speaker
Where social jockeying is the norm and self-worth is measured in clicks, our hearts are in exile. Where do I fit? And can this world even handle me? Jess Connolly and Hayley Morgan's words are gospel-soaked arrows of hope shot through the desert noise. As it turns out, the opposite of lost is free.
Shannan Martin, author of Falling Free (available fall 2016)
What Jess Connolly and Hayley Morgan have done here is a beautiful work. It reflects not only the truth of the gospel, but also the truth of who they each are and how uniquely God has made us. I'm thankful for the way Wild and Free gave me permission to be me and to love others the way Christ does.

Lara Casey, author of Make It Happen
Into the milieu of self-help, do more, try harder books and Facebook, Instagram, and Pinterest pressures, Jess Connolly and Hayley Morgan have given a sweet gift to the women of their generation
-freedom from finding our identity in anything aside from the love of our heavenly Father and the work of Jesus Christ. With refreshing transparency and deep devotion, they respond to the pressures women experience today with answers that are any- thing but trite religiosity. Because we are loved by God, we can live in freedom and find a place of rest as He grows us into all He has for us. I'm honored to recommend their fine work.
