“Fear is Not the Boss of You has been a crucial message that I needed to hear! It came just as I was starting a new business at 56 years old and was just the loving, truth-filled kick in the butt I needed! Jennifer has a way of making you feel like you are sharing a table at lunch with the friend that you trust to speak the real truth to you — even when she knows it may sting a little. Her love for you — us — is real and deep and sincere. I have bought several copies of the book and will be buying more. As I write this review, we are in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic and I am in awe at the timeliness of the words in this book! Whether you are a Christian or not, you will be inspired to get free from fear, get unstuck, and get after it!”

“I have read countless books in the past few years on self growth and development, business building or spiritual development. NEVER have I read one that had all three in one book. I devoured this book and found myself laughing, crying and giving audible AMENS as I took it all in. It’s personal and practical, funny and faith filled. It’s a breath of fresh air and a kick in the pants that you might need. There are so many quotes I’ve seen in past years that get shared that have partial truths in them or didn’t sit quite right with me. When Jennifer puts her spin on things and adds in Truth to it I finally found something that fully resonated with my heart, mind and faith. I look forward to reading this again and again and I will definitely be passing it on to others. This book and message is what EVERYONE needs, especially in our world today.”

“I cannot stop highlighting whole paragraphs in this book. Jennifer feels like a close friend who is speaking sense into my life. Even though I have read hundreds of self-help/personal development books and will probably read hundreds more, Fear is Not the Boss of You is going to get a spot on the hallowed shelf where I keep the books that have changed my life. I already know that when I finish it I am going to start it all over again.
Jennifer Allwood’s writing is so accessible. I immediately felt like I knew her and that we were friends. Her sense of humor coupled with her unwavering faith in God are like [PB&J].
I can sus out BS pretty quickly and trust me, there’s no BS in this book! If you are looking for a new voice, Jennifer might be the one God has created for you!!!”

Carolyn Gloster

“As a woman, mom, wife, and business owner, I know all too well how very real the power fear can have on our lives. Jennifer’s book is not just another “rah-rah-you-can-do-it” blowing smoke up your skirt kind of motivational book. It’s more like having a cup of coffee in ripped jeans on the sofa with your best friend, having a true heart-to-heart conversation. Her words are filled with biblically sound truths (without being preachy), giving practical steps and sharing real life experiences to show how to release that grip of fear on our lives so that we can truly embrace the lives we’ve been given. Jen shows how to boldly take back our lives from the grip of Fear, while loving us and prodding us every step of the way to live the lives God intended for us, using all our past experiences to help others move into their best lives, too.”

“If there was a book that could magically give you courage and clarity to change your life and impact the world, would you read it? I hope so. ‘Cause this might just be that book.
Fear is Not the Boss of You is engaging, insightful, and full of surprises. One moment I’m snorting my breakfast smoothie at Jennifer’s turn of a phrase, and the next moment I’m grabbing my highlighter to mark profound truths or smart suggestions to revisit later.
Jennifer embodies freedom of conscience that is often lacking in our culture on both ends of the political and religious spectrums. She’s not afraid to tell you what she believes about God, Jesus, and sin. At the same time, she gives you permission to be a grown-up and make up your own mind.”

Carrie Robaina

“Fear is Not the Boss of You is a must read for every woman regardless of whatever season of life they’re in! Jennifer Allwood writes in such a way that is humorous and yet straight up what you need to hear in order to rise above the fear and doubt that keeps you from walking in freedom and confidence!
You will love this book so much you won’t want to keep it to yourself! Grab a copy for YOU, a friend, and several others to gift. It’s THAT good!!!”

“I’ve never been a person that gleams from influencers. I don’t do the positive affirmations, the how-to-be-successful podcasts, and what have you. I’ve never gotten anything out of it. Always a waste of time for me.
Until my one of my people sent me her “Why are you working for free?” podcast, and it was like an alarm went off. Jennifer talks a lot about how God speaks to us differently, and I’ve always known one of the ways He speaks is through other people. He spoke through Jennifer that day, as a best friend would sit down and tell it like it is. This book hits you right where you need it. And God is using her to bless His people. I am so grateful for her and her hard work at this book.”

Heather Colindres

“This book has been such a blessing to me! This book helped me get away from the doubts and fears that have controlled me and caused me to think and act out in ways I didn’t even realize weren’t normal. After reading this book I feel like God is blossoming me into who He has called me to be with boldness and courage! Getting past the thoughts in your own head is the hardest part of being courageous and this book explains and give reasons of why you have to just do things afraid and know that you’re going to be just fine. Such a good good read! Thank you, Jen, for being obedient to God in every area of your life! Your obedience has truly changed my life!”

June Calender

“More than halfway through the book. Upon reflection on my drive home, I realized I stood a bit taller and held my head high and my shoulders back. I know with the help of this book and following and listening to God, I’ve got this. I’m not the business kind (I think), but I want to accomplish things for my health. Fear will not stop me! I know so many who would benefit, men and women. Love love love that she writes like she talks.”

Terrie Porter-Babauta

“Resonating through my heart and soul. It’s as if Jennifer Allwood was living my life! Stuck… oh my, I cried. I’ve felt stuck for a while now and can’t wait to get unstuck now. On chapter 4 and the tears keep coming!”

“

Lori Rickman

“Just finished the book! I’ve spent years of struggling with fear and Jennifer hit this out of the ballpark. I cannot thank you enough! I will be reading this over and over again, as well as telling all my friends about it.”

Rami Stein Parker

“Either I am hormonal or she is speaking directly to my soul. I was in tears on page 15… page 15, y’all!!! I can relate to every word she speaks. How lucky are we to have her brave the way for us.”

“

Cathy Wheeler

“Chapter 5 and I am sure Jennifer Allwood is speaking directly to me as I read. I rarely read the same book twice, but this book will definitely be the exception!”

“

Courtney Huff

“Oh my goodness, I just got started reading this morning, and I have to say this book is beautiful and speaks to my soul. I’m only in the overwhelmed section, but boy howdy, Jennifer is hitting all the things I have been feeling lately and more! Thank you for writing this book, Jennifer! I especially love where she talks about God not giving you more than He can handle.”

“

Jody Light

“I just finished chapter 8. WOW!!! You are amazing, Jennifer Allwood!! Thank you so much!!! I originally ordered three copies — one for myself, my daughter and my daughter-in-law — but realize I need more copies to share with some family and friends! I can’t wait to read more!”

“

Terry Pino

“I’ve read it twice. The first time I inhaled it. The second time I took a bit more time and in chunks to absorb more. Tonight I start the third time and highlight using the notes I made during both reads and notes I’ve been jotting down in between. Know what reading this book feels like? It reminds me of the first crush you had and you can’t help but thinking about him all the time.”

“

Lindsey DeWine Chevalier

“I’ve had my face buried in this book for the last hour… word after word… brilliant!!! Jennifer Allwood, I hear the Lord say, “Well done.””

“

Amber Cash

“I swear this book is my life. I had to force myself to put it down! I already know it is going to take multiple readings to catch things I didn’t catch the first time. I’ll have this read by end of today.”

“

Cindy Ortiz-Malcolm

“All I can say is God has led me to Jennifer Allwood for a reason. This book has come to me at a time I needed to hear her words. It’s like I’m sitting with her and talking. I have been a long-time follower and in her coaching group. This book has hit my heart. Thank you for this.”

“

Michelle Besedic

“WOW! I just finished the book. JENNIFER! As a Christian, let me just say Glory to God!!! You were so bold and God-focused the ENTIRE book, which was so refreshing! I laughed, I cried, I felt like you were my bestie! What a blessing you are and I can’t wait to watch all of this unfold. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for being you and sharing your love of God.
P.S. I’m ordering a bunch of books as gifts.”

“Only 40 pages in and keep wondering how Jennifer got in my head and downloaded my thoughts…”

Jill Schar

“Wow! Thank you, Jennifer, for speaking the truth and giving me the kick that I needed to be obedient and stop making excuses in fear. This book is powerful because it is a beautiful mix of God’s love and truth and your amazing story. Thank you for sharing so much of yourself with so many of us. Well done, good and faithful servant.”
