“Connie Jakab is a force to be reckoned with. She will settle for nothing less than wholesale change—both in the way women view themselves as well as the way society suppresses their life transforming capacities. Long may her cultural rebellion last!”
- Alan Hirsch: Author, Activist, Dreamer, and Honorary Member of the Sisterhood
“Connie Jakab is honest. In this book, she’s honest with herself and with you, and she points to the culture around us and calls it what it is: empty. Will you accept her challenge to rebel against this emptiness and choose to live for what really matters? To be a rebel with a cause?”
- Amy Simpson:Editor, GiftedForLeadership.com
“If you are happy with being a “success-crazed, comfort-seeking, status-hungry consumer”, then you better watch out: Connie Jakab has some strong words for you. But if you struggle with the temptation to be that kind of person, and you desire instead to live a life of purpose and meaning, then read Culture Rebel, because Connie Jakab has some strong words for you. This bold, honest, spirited book will challenge you towards a life that more deeply resembles the greatest culture rebel of all–Jesus–who knew a few things about saying strong words. Connie’s words may not always be easy to read as they target those areas in your life that need stretching. But go with the stretching, and be prepared to be transformed into a culture rebel yourself.”
-Helen Lee, author of The Missional Mom and founding member, Redbud Writers Guild

“This book is fierce, it’s fiery and will inspire you to change you life for the greater good! I believe it will challenge and redefine culture as we know it. Culture rebel will become a new term in the dictionary, and Connie has effectively and powerfully described what it takes for people to go from being part of a society that continues to dominate our “consumer” mindsets to becoming an ultimate culture rebel and being who we are really meant to be. This account is personal, refreshing and will encourage you to be BRAVE and really LIVE your Life to the fullest!!

“Grab a homemade coffee and put on your comfy-pants before sitting down to read this book. In Culture Rebel, Connie takes you on a journey away from the status quo and into the world of dissatisfaction with what is normal. It’s not a particularly easy process but the move from status quo to culture-rebel and then on to culture-maker is the only option when we get a grasp for the heart of God. Read this book, and your world just might change!”
