It’s like Jami (without an ‘e’) stepped into my ginormous size 11 Birkenstock sandals and wrote this book just for me. Like most women, I’ve struggled with self-confidence most of my life. I’m too loud, too tall, too wide, my hair is too frizzy in humidity, just ‘too’— but she has written a humorous, incredibly insightful, and wisdom-laden book to remind us all that we are never too much for our Savior. Our self-worth lies in Him alone. This is a must-read for every woman.”–Susannah B. Lewis, Whoa Susannah, author of Can’t Make This Stuff Up

Find lighthearted freedom from the scales of guilt and shame as you step into all God has for you, without counting calories or avoiding carbs. It’s time to be well, girl. You’ll never be the same!”–Katie M. Reid, pear-shaped body, liberated heart, and author of Made Like Martha
“My own struggle with body image has been real, but now it’s resolved thanks to Well, Girl. Jami Amerine’s trademark mix of humorous personal stories and grace-based advice has helped me make peace with my pounds. Thanks to Jami, I’ve switched my focus from what mirrors reveal about me to how my Maker rejoices in me. She’s helped me see that true wellness can never be found in trendy dietary fads but only in the opinions of our timeless, devoted Father. So, if you struggle to like your size or shape, it’s time to step off the scale and dine on the scriptures within this book. For if our diet is full of their truth, then we will be well, girls, and able to feast on both carrots AND Cheetos with confidence and joy.”–Tracy Steel, speaker and author of A Redesigned Life: Uncovering God’s Purpose When Life Doesn’t Go As Planned
“Well, Girl is a sacred journey of freedom for all women who have struggled with their bodies, food, striving to be better, and accepting themselves as is.

Yoder, counselor, speaker, and author of Fledge: Launching Your Kids Without Losing Your Mind
“With grace, truth, and a lot of humor, Jami gently guides us on a path to heal the wounds of diet culture and body image obsession so that we can live vibrantly—as women who are unconditionally loved. Every woman who’s ever stressed over the scale or mirror should read this book.”–Heather Creekmore, author of Compared to Who? A Proven Path to Improve Your Body Image and The Burden of Better
“Well, Girl is not like any other wellness book. You know, the ones with the typical (and exhausting) advice of ‘exercise and food measuring’ routines. Instead... Well, Girl is an encounter with who we are and how much we are loved. It’s a completely different way to look at health. Even more, it’s an invitation to unravel the lies that have kept us tangled in bad choices. It is an invitation to change from the inside out, and finally be completely free. Amerine is a brilliant author who walks out her messages. She is funny, honest, and a lover of Jesus. Let her words soak into your weary soul. You will not be disappointed.”–Carey Scott, author of Uncommon & Unafraid
“Well, Girl is a feast of freedom and grace with heaping side orders of joy and laughter. If you have a love-hate relationship with food and your body, or if you have secretly pictured God as the Great Food Judge in the Sky, constantly changing his approval of you based on how you eat and what you weigh from day to day, get ready to be set free. Jami doesn’t tell you what to do; she reminds you who you are—and who God is. Well, Girl isn’t just a book on wellness; it’s a banquet for the soul.”–Elizabeth Laing Thompson, author of When God Says, “Wait,” When God Says, “Go,” and All the Feels
“Jami brings humor, transparency, and heart to this beautiful book, Well, Girl. She bravely shares personal disappointments and insightful revelations on the journey to inner wellness. She challenges you to examine your beliefs and align them with the grace that is offered through Jesus Christ. She is clear about being on the journey with you and offers her experience and encouragement that will lift you up and give you confidence. Jami’s words release you from the shame of self-sabotage and empower you to embrace who God made you to be. Grab your tissues as you sit down with a friend who will inspire you to know God in deeper ways.”–Jill Monaco, Founder and President of Jill Monaco Ministries
“This book couldn’t have come at a better time—reading it was like rehashing the years of conversations I used to have with my best friend of 17 years about body image, shame, and overall unworthiness. Sadly, my best friend passed away in March 2020 after an 8-month battle with endometrial cancer, and as much as I wish I could’ve had a copy of this book to give to her while she was alive, I’m so thankful that this book will now be in the hands of women the world over who are dealing with the same issues she once did. The battle for a healthy mindset and body image is a war that many of us will endure our entire lifetimes, but it doesn't have to be this way. Jami does an incredible job with her wit and humor to share stories of how she overcame this war herself with the help of Jesus Christ, our Redeemer. So if you’re ready to truly win this battle over your size and caloric intake and to walk in freedom daily. . .find a comfy spot with a journal and pen in hand and get ready to be challenged.”–Enid Bozic, Founder and Podcast Host of Imperishable Beauty and adjunct professor of Communications at Vanguard University
“As someone who has struggled with her weight and body image for years, I fell in love with this gentle, loving, and truthful reminder that the Gospel is true for every part of us: heart, soul, mind, and body. Jami makes you feel as if you’d pulled up a chair at her kitchen table while she shares God-centered, Gospel-filled, Bible-based truth that your heart and body are desperate to hear. Jami offers you hope and gives you Jesus.”–Jill E. McCormick, co-author of Sister, Walk in Truth and host of the Grace in Real Life podcast
