I am reviewing a copy of Surrender Your Story through  Nelson Books, Thomas Nelson and Netgalley:



In Surrender Your Story through Nelson Books, Thomas Nelson and Netgalley:



In Surrender Your Story popular podcaster and self acclaimed control freak points out that today's culture is peddling a seductive promise, a message that bombards social media feeds and dominates bestseller lists: you can control your circumstances and achieve any goal through positive thinking, organization, and sheer force of will.



Anyone who has to white-knuckle their way to self-fulfillment has discovered what lies on the other side of this supposedly empowering message: frustration, disappointment, and exhaustion.




Tara understands what it is like to be obsessed with control, all under the guise of the supposed virtues of being self-sufficient, organized, and high achieving. When a battle with severe chronic illness demolished her illusions of control.



Tara embarked on a journey of discovering the antidote to the burdensome and ultimately empty myth of control: surrender to the God who cares for us and has an infinitely better blueprint for a life filled with joy, peace, and meaning.



In Surrender Your Story readers will learn how to identify how the false promises of control and self-sufficiency have warped their view of themselves, their hopes, and their purpose; learn to trust God--in the big events and the small details of their lives; discover practical steps and strategies for letting go of control and moving forward in faith, even in the face of setbacks and disappointments; and be inspired by examples from Tara's life and from the Bible of the strength and purpose that comes through a lifestyle of surrender.



I give Surrender Your Story five out of five stars!


Happy Reading!
