Publisher's summary

Based on the story of the apostle Paul's near catastrophic shipwreck (see Acts 27-28), this is a call to individuals to "shake off" problems and disasters in life and move forward to new health and wholeness. Some days you feel as if you take one step forward only to fall back two - or 10 - steps.

You struggle and push through one obstacle after another. You know God is present, but when is he going to rescue you from all the storms, shipwrecks, and snakes surrounding you? The apostle Paul faced a great crisis such as this on his epic voyage to Rome, which ended with a disastrous shipwreck - yet every person aboard was saved by grasping broken pieces of wood. In Shake Free, Samuel Rodriguez issues a powerful call for you to shake off your problems.

He writes, “When the storm breaks in your life, you will be driven by:

  • The past or the future
  • The pathetic or the prophetic
  • Problems or promises
  • Nightmares or dreams
  • The flesh or the Spirit
  • Google searches or godly churches
  • The drama of the storm or God’s destiny for your life

Rather than merely surviving circumstances, you can discover how to navigate through life’s challenges to truer wholeness and bigger victories from God.

Shake Free...will help you break free of emotional, mental, and spiritual burdens....This book is necessary for all those who are ready to take back control of their lives!” (DeVon Franklin, producer and New York Times best-selling author)

“In Shake Free Samuel Rodriguez explains that God’s way is not just the best way; it’s the only way....This book...will change your life!” (Robert Morris, founding senior pastor of Gateway Church and best-selling author of The Blessed Life and The God I Never Knew)

Critic reviews

“If you desire God to influence the way you think, live, and lead, then read Shake Free. I love the challenge given by Samuel Rodriguez when he calls us to trust God in life by pursuing plan G…God’s plan for us! He writes, ‘He is your plan A, plan B, plan C—there can be no other plan.’ Each of us needs this encouragement. Reading Shake Free not only will help you to be released from the things that bind you today but also will prepare you to enter the future that God has for you.” (Dr. Ronnie Floyd, senior pastor of Cross Church and president of the National Day of Prayer)

“It is not always outside forces preventing us from excelling in the ways God intended. Sometimes our own insecurities and fears hinder us from reaching our greatest potential. In his new book, Shake Free, Sam Rodriguez will help you break free of emotional, mental, and spiritual burdens in your life. This book is necessary for all those who are ready to take back control of their lives!” (DeVon Franklin, producer and New York Times best-selling author)

“In Shake Free Samuel Rodriguez explains that God’s way is not just the best way; it’s the only way. I believe that God has uniquely gifted him to be a voice to our world at this time. This book not only communicates God’s heart for you—it will change your life!” (Robert Morris, founding senior pastor of Gateway Church and best-selling author of The Blessed Life and The God I Never Knew)

Shake Free

This book was an easy listen! Very informative and I loved the metaphoric story behind the book. Paul overcame such adversity and still held true to his faith. We can all do the same as well!

I bought the hard copy of this book too so I can highlight it and take from the copious amounts of references!
