[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People are allowed to reach lower peaks than expected with their projects. At least they tried. [/quote]

At least she tried?  She’s selling a book about her divorce. She’s literally trying to monetize the destruction of her family. She marketed it as a tell-all, when it’s actually not. She sold out to tabloids to gain more public interest. She has 5 children who had to relive all of this. She is marketing herself as an anti-capitalist social justice warrior while simultaneously begging people to use her AMAZON links. [/quote]

Agreed. It's not as if she were engaged in the pursuit some noble task here. The only thing that ever gave Jen any real credibility was the fact that she was a public ministry figure, teaching women about God, Jesus, and the Bible. Whatever you think about the quality of her earlier works and her theology, she had something like an expertise to offer in a subject. Once she decided to jettison that, her public persona became about selling self-fulfilment with herself as the role model and she's had little to offer that hasn't been offered elsewhere. She's living off the fumes of her former credibility and has become reminiscent of historian Daniel Boorstin's definition of a celebrity as "Someone well known for being well known."[/quote]

Jen is a middle aged lifestyle influencer.  She just parrots back out to the universe what's already in the zeitgeist all in the name of "serving her tribe".  She's like an untalented art gallerist who is only able to spot trends but is unable to discover emerging talent.  She presents herself as an aspirational figure to get vulnerable women to buy her crap.  Gross and soulless.     [/quote]
