Publisher's summary

A firsthand look into Kim Walker-Smith's journey from a place of shame and fear to stages around the world where she boldly proclaims the unconditional love of God.

Kim Walker-Smith's passionate performance of "How He Loves" helped transform Jesus Culture into a global worship movement. But she wasn't always so confident of God's unrelenting, powerful love.

Coming from a painful childhood, Kim struggled to believe that God could heal her heart or bring any sense from her past. Yet when she chose to hand her struggles over to God and receive his love, freedom, and healing in return, everything began to change. On the other side of surrender, Kim began a journey of looking at one painful memory at a time with God and exchanging her perspective for his truth - a journey in which God rewrote her story of pain into a story of redemption and hope.

If you are longing to experience God more than the shame or hurts of your past, the pressures of your present, or the fear of your future, Brave Surrender offers a soul-healing path forward. As Kim learned in her own life, the first step - and the bravest step - is letting go. Once we let go of anything that gets between us and God, we are freed to take hold of the life that truly matters. As Kim writes, "When we encounter God's love, it changes the way we see. And when we learn to see what He sees, we will never be the same again."

What a amazing and inspiring love history of God!

Know more about the struggles, wounds and overcomings of this amazing woman of God just made me admire her even more! We, as christians, can all relate with her ups and downs through a true walk of faith! Just incredible.

A story of struggle, surrender and God’s furious pursuit

Thank you, Kim Walker-Smith, for sharing your story. I’m lots older than you but can relate very much to the struggles and emotions you described. Thank you for your vulnerability, passion and grit. I’m very inspired and grateful for the “weakness and fears” you described and how God has loved you enough to bring you back to face the same issues over and again to heal you on a deeper level—and here I thought I was the only one!! You sound like family and are a blessing to many. Highly recommended.

So glad I found this

I’m on a solo retreat and could not find an audiobook that felt right. I literally said to myself that I wanted a book by a woman who walked in great intimacy with Jesus and is full of joy. Kim Walker-Smith’s name came to mind and I was surprised to see this book show up when I put her name in! I’m a worship leader too so double bonus. 🙌🏾 I was SHOCKED to find out that she dreaded that viral video, This made me realize that I also overthink and try to cover up what God wants to expose for His glory. I’m so grateful to have discovered this book!

Love Kim’s testimony and everything that God brought her from!

I love Kim’s honesty and vulnerability as she shares her struggles. Was a very good book to read. It has been helpful to me also, as I can relate to some things in her childhood and trauma.

Amazing Testimony

I didn’t know anything about Kim other than her beautiful ministry and vocals, I’ve loved her music since early 2000’s, her music helped me through dificulta seasons in my life. After reading her book and knowing her testimony, I can relate so much more with her. A lot of the things she went through were very similar situations as mine, my upbringing and healing process. This book is highly recommended, it’s anointed.
