You Are More Than You've Been Told: Unlock a Fresh Way to Live Through the Rhythms of Jesus

Hosanna Wong skillfully guides the reader on a transformative journey of rejecting the deceitful lies sown by the Enemy. Through inspiring biblical references and profound insights, the book encourages the reader to break free from legalistic and narrow views of rest and Sabbath, reminding us that true spiritual nourishment goes beyond mere productivity in today's enslaving world. She shows us how to choose prayer and solitude as necessary foundations for discovering our true self-what Our creator intended us to be.The heart of this book, and I believe the heart of Hosanna ( if you have been blessed to hear her spoken word poetry) is its emphasis on engaging with scripture to comprehend the liberating power of the One who has already freed us from bondage. The author beautifully weaves scriptural references and thoughtful reflections, inviting readers to seek a deeper understanding of their spiritual identity and God's immense love for them allowing them to lay aside the weights that they were never meant to carry.One of the book’s Highlights lies in its practical approach to building authentic and joyful relationships within the community. The book artfully illustrates the value of genuine connections, drawing from real-life examples that mirror Christ's compassionate nature and grace. By following these practical guidelines, readers learn how to refresh their souls and experience the transformative power of Christ's example in their daily interactions. Are Hosanna’s themes new? Absolutely not. These biblical concepts were valued and described thousands of years ago. Yet, she has creatively taken Gods Word, His commandments, His expressed desire for the behaviors of the New Testament church and brought them forward to this hurting world with imagery and applications that we can immediately weave into our daily rhythms.Overall, “You Are More Than You’ve been Told” is a profound and insightful read that empowers readers to dispel the Enemy's lies, embrace true rest and build soul-enriching connections in their journey of faith. This book is a must-read for anyone seeking to deepen their understanding of spiritual freedom and find authentic joy in abiding in and fully depending on Christ .

Biblical, practical, refreshing and real. This book reads like having coffee with Hosanna- sitting across from her, listening to her open up about past hurts — discovering who God made her to be, and living her life in such a way as to emulate Jesus. She writes as your friend and advocate, and clearly breaks down Biblical truths and passages that will hit you in a new way whether you are hearing them for the first time or fortieth time. The book is well written and organized in 3 sections. I especially loved the metaphor of the trellis, and how when we abide in Christ we are supported and able to flourish - as opposed to going it alone and slowing our growth because we are weighed down by stress, lies, and burdens that were never meant for us. This is hands down in my top 5 best books of this year, and I am recommending it to everyone! No matter your faith experience or life stage, God has something in this book to reveal to you and He is FOR you. You are more than you have been told. Read these pages, crack open your Bible, and see for yourself. Buy it today!

I can relate to so many parts of this book. I highly recommend reading this book. It will encourage you and give you different ways to understand this broken world. It shows you the true beauty in forgiveness.

Hosanna is just awesome! She's real and easy to relate to. She doesn't talk from a pedestal but from your living room couch. I highlighted and wrote everywhere in this book and then read it again and made more comments. It's that good! Read it!

My husband and I have been inspired by Hosanna Wong, hearing her speak God's truths on stage. And now we are excited about her new book, You Are More Than You’ve Been Told." This powerful book will help you realize the power you have being a child of God and that the enemy has no authority over you!God’s voice must be the loudest voice in our lives, and God’s lens must be the lens through which we see ourselves.We wanted our daughters and granddaughters to read it, too, so we bought five and had Amazon ship to them!Mac Owen - Global Director for Celebrate RecoveryMary Owen - National Training Director for Celebrate Recovery“The Enemy wants you to feel like you are inferior, not enough, not doing enough, unworthy, unloved, and unwanted. He knows how powerful your life is and how important your choices are, so he is on a mission to make sure you don’t find out as well. He knows you are not unloved…He just wants you to think you are. He knows you are not purposeless…He just wants you to think you are. He knows the children of God living out their purpose pose the greatest threat to his plan. He’s afraid of you knowing your value and you knowing you have nothing to prove to people because God’s approval is the only applause that matters. You can live your life with an inner confidence and authentic humility knowing you are chosen, you are called, you are loved, you are forgiven, and you are valuable.” (quote from You Are More Than You’ve Been Told)

I love Hosanna as an author and a speaker and a spoken word speaker. This book is amazing and a great read. I hope to meet hosanna one day.

Hosanna speaks and writes in a way that makes it easy to understand the love of Jesus. Her humor and insight is what makes this book so great. I recently met her and witnessed her amazing Spoken Poetry live. She is humble, friendly, and such a beautiful soul. She changed my life 😍

If you are unsure of who you are in Christ, this book will give you the knowledge and identity you seek as a Child of God. It's personal, practical and full of wisdom.

I loved working through this with my leader!!!

I haven’t finished the book yet but so far I am loving it! I’ve spent many years allowing others to define me and this has been a wonderful reminder to me of who God says I am.
