“I could not think of a better read and better reminder that He writes the best stories.”

—Sadie Robertson Huff, New York Times bestselling author, speaker, and founder of Live Original

There’s a lie masquerading as truth that’s running rampant in our culture. It goes something like this: you are powerful enough to control your circumstances and create the life you want through positive thinking, solid planning, and dreaming big enough. But if you’ve ever tried to control your life or to strive your way to self-fulfillment, you’ve discovered what lies on the other side of this supposedly empowering message: frustration, exhaustion, and disappointment when things don’t go your way.

In Surrender Your Story podcast host and blogger Tara Sun explores why the quest for control is overrated—not to mention downright dangerous—and reveals the surprising, lifegiving alternative: radical surrender to God. When a battle with chronic illness demolished her illusions of control and independence, Tara embarked on her own journey toward surrender and true trust in God, and now invites you to do the same. Drawing on Scripture and her own powerful story, Tara will help you

• let go of your death grip on control and find freedom in surrender;
• learn how to truly trust God with the twists and turns of your story;
• depend on God as your source of strength; and
• move forward in faith, even in the face of life’s disappointment and setbacks.

Surrendering control to God isn’t a loss—it’s actually where we gain the most abundant life. When we believe that God loves us and is worthy to be trusted with our stories, we can trade the burden of self-sufficiency, control, and worry, for the peace, freedom, and purpose we’ve been longing for.

Few words to said!

This is such a beautiful guide to how & why to surrender yourself to God. Delivered in relatable topics & aimed primarily towards a younger generation, I found myself as I near 50 still hanging on every word! Hearing Tara's own excitement as she read thru the pages....I will listen & read again & again!

Heartfelt & Inspiring

I believe God brought this story to me, in more ways than one. Upon completion I fully believe Tara’s book is God-sent. I’m so grateful for the privilege to read her story, her struggles, and her vulnerability; I throughly enjoyed how relatable it is!
Lastly, I love how knowledgeable, insightful, and encouraging her words are, backed by scripture and prayers. You can feel how deep her love runs for the Lord and how strong the bond of her relationship with God is. Such a great read!

Phenomenal Book

I listened to this book in just 2 days! I couldn’t stop listening and plan on listening over and over again. I will be recommending this book to everyone I know and everyone I don’t know. I am a big fan of Tara’s podcast and her beautiful personality shines brightly through this book too. Love you friend 💜

Amazing book!

I loved Tara's story! I could relate to almost EVERYTHING she went through and how she practically teaches us how to surrender our story to THE ONE who has it all planned out for us. Cause He knows the plans He has for us... to give us a hope and a future, not to harm us! we need to let go of control and start focusing in the one that has control over all things.!

Surrendering your Plans to God

This was a wonderful guide to surrendering our plans to God and letting go of control. Trusting God in every aspect of our lives is so important, and Tara explores this concept in detail. I truly believe God sent this book to me, as I have been going through a difficult time lately.

Encouraging and convicting

this book was an encouraging reminder of God's goodness and trustworthiness. We can trust God and surrender our life stories to Him.

Right time

Such an excellent book to read at the right time. I am going through so much, but this book encourages me to trust God again and surrender everything to him. Letting go is hard, but my life is in the best hands. God's world keeps me alive, and as I walk through suffering, I am holding to his promises. Thank you for reminding me that God has a beautiful plan for my life.

Very Narcissistic

I didn’t like how the book was written, the author uses basic vocabulary and struggles to get the point across. The book is mainly the author patting herself on the back for following God’s will. Honestly I really hoped it would help me understand her story better or let me see into the life of someone following Jesus, but it didn’t. It’s written from the point of view of someone who is making a profit off of following God.
