When your struggling with faith and asking the question what am I doing here this book is for you. It's an excellent read into a real life situation that people struggle with on a daily basis. It's meant to be read by non Christian readers to get an insight into the world of Christianity and what it means to really live by God. This book is easy to follow, easy to reference and a useful learning tool to keep around in tough times.This review was written for LibraryThing Early Reviewers. Not the sort of thing I'd normally consider reading but I got an early reviewers copy so I guess I've got to read it. Oh, well. I suppose I did want to broaden my horizons. Will post a proper review soon.***** Actually I gave up on this. I think it's garbage. This review was written for LibraryThing Early Reviewers. I wasn't really expecting to like this book, but it really wasn't that bad. Surrendering to God is something I have never thought about before, but this book did make me think about it though. I had never heard of Joni Lamb - I think she told the story well - and that it is overall, well written. As far as what I didn't like about the book, was that half way though, I was looking for more. The stories all seemed to be the same - someone had a problem, surrendered to God which seemed to fix all their problems, and their life was perfect. I don't know - it just became too much for me. Maybe it needs more editing otherwise I think people are going to lose interest half way through (like me), This review was written for LibraryThing Early Reviewers. This is a well-written book of numerous personal accounts of surrendering to the Lord’s will. Each chapter is about surrendering a different part of your life and gives personal stories of the author and her family, friends and coworkers. The stories range from those who have always been upstanding Christians to those with physical or mental illness to those who led immoral lives. What the stories all have in common is that in each case the person surrendered to the Lord in their live. Once they did so they were rewarded with health, happiness, success, peace, purpose, or something else. I had not really given much thought to surrendering to the Lord in my life and this book has made me think what that means. no reviews | add a review
Incredible things happen when you give up control. As a young wife and mom-to-be, Joni Lamb never imagined a dream and Duct tape could launch a growing television network and career as host of two programs that reach millions of viewers worldwide every day with help, hope, and wisdom. Then a simple act of surrender to God helped her use ordinary things to achieve her extraordinary dreams. That same simple act can help you find unshakeable peace, incredible power, and confident purpose too. Surrender All contains practical know-how and Joni’s remarkable story of how giving up control to God can… • deepen every relationship, • buoy any career, • strengthen all finances, • restore your health; • get you through great loss or failure. Drawing upon her experiences as a wife, mother, and television personality, Joni also shares the inspiring stories of others, celebrities and everyday folk, who found fresh hope in difficult circumstances by surrendering all: • the couple whose marriage was fully restored–two years after their divorce, • the mother whose faithful prayers for her drug-dealing son received an unexpected answer, • the romance novelist who surrendered her career and found a whole new level of success, • and the renowned sportscaster whose alcohol addiction nearly destroyed his life…until he chose to believe that God had greater plans for his future. You can step confidently into your own divinely-designed destiny, Joni’s story reveals; she comes alongside to show you the way to making real the dreams of a heart willing to Surrender All.
