"I don''t write this book as a condemnation or as a sermon. The last thing I want to do is provide a ''how to be the best Christian in ten easy steps'' guide. I pen these words as a fellow struggler who is learning that what we think about God matters, how we allow Him to reign in our hearts matters, and how we obey Him in the moment matters. It all matters. Everything."Author and speaker Mary DeMuth has been abused, foreclosed, abandoned, and betrayed. She has been pressed and drained till it was too much . . .But it was just enough to bring her to a place of surrender, piece by precious piece. In that surrender, she found the freedom of giving everything to God. And through Scripture, community, and the work of the Holy Spirit, she gives it all over again, every day.In this gentle and challenging book, DeMuth describes the process and the nuances that shape us to be more like Christ. Her words are clear, vulnerable, and thought provoking, and every chapter is infused with Scripture.Most of all, DeMuth provides personal and practical evidence that there is no greater pursuit than Christ. We must surrender everything, but it does not compare to the Everything He is, the Everything He gives.

Find joy and freedom in surrenderLetting go is hard.To surrender is to let go of what we tightly grip, the good and the bad. It''s a relinquishing of control, a recognition that God alone can meet our deepest needs. It''s a holy pause that entrusts each hope, each worry, and each pressing concern to the One whose love for us is beyond measure. And in this surrender, we enter into freedom. But, even so, letting go often feels easier said than done.In TheFreedom of Surrender, author Mary DeMuth invites you to journey through forty days of entrusting specific areas of your life to God—your inner struggles, your family, your expectations, your regrets, your ministry, your grief, your relationships, your job, your health, your finances, your future, and more. Every daily devotion includes Scripture, prayer, and Mary''s original art that help you cast each care on the One who cares for you.On this forty-day journey, you''ll learn:- How to trust that God is in control, even in moments of chaos and stress.- True joy and freedom can happen when we release what we''re holding too tightly.- God''s plan is to see you thrive and grow.- Prayer opens thedoor to freedom and peace.- Even in your struggles, you are never alone.When we entrust our stresses and worries to God, we embrace the reality that''s always been true: Our "control" is an illusion. God alone can meet our needs,heal our wounds, and guide our steps. From this place of total reliance on God, we can experience deep joy and the peace that passes understanding.What are you holding too tightly? Experience freedom as you invite Jesus to help you surrender all.
