Surrender Your Story

Ditch the Myth of Control and Discover Freedom in Trusting God

About this book

Exchange exhaustion and disappointment for the full, abundant life you long for when you surrender your story at the foot of the cross.

Popular podcaster and self-proclaimed control freak Tara Sun shows how "having everything under control" is overrated--not to mention downright dangerous--and reveals the surprising, lifegiving alternative: only radical surrender to God brings the peace and fulfillment we yearn for.

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. But anyone who's tried 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 knows what it's 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. Readers will:

  • 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
  • Be inspired by examples from Tara's life and from the Bible of the strength and purpose that come through a lifestyle of surrender

 

For all those who are exhausted from trying to control their lives and disappointed by their unreached plans, Surrender Your Story is a welcome lifeline that opens readers' eyes to the beauty of a life surrendered to the Master Planner.
