Enough: Scarcity, Contentment, and the Temptation of Jesus

By Shea Zellweger

What do Christians mean when we say Jesus was "tempted in every way"?

In this volume, pastor Shea Zellweger explores this question through the lens of the story of the temptation of Christ as told in the Gospel of Matthew. Weaving the story's biblical and cultural context together with contemporary examples and thought-provoking questions, Zellweger presents each exchange as representing a type of temptation, rooted in primal and common insecurities.

Equal parts exposition and meditation, Enough invites the reader to explore these insecurities as they are found in the narrative, and to envision what life might look like if we did not indulge them. Several sets of questions found throughout the book offer opportunity for personal contemplation, or group discussion.

"An excellent, accessible, and at time humorous exploration of one of the least understood parts of Jesus' life. Zellweger's book is a must have for laypeople and clergy alike looking for a readable deep dive on the Temptation of Jesus. I'll be coming back to this book each time I preach on the passage." - Rev Katrina Manzi, pastor, Middlebury First United Church of Christ
