Surrender

by John Stanley

Overview

Life is a river--serene one moment and turbulent the next. Thankfully, Christ is our guide through every twist and turn. We must make a choice: surrender to His commands or trek the river on our own. In Surrender, John Stanley encourages readers to die daily to self and surrender to God in every circumstance. Through the analogy of a childhood white-water rafting trip, John Stanley expertly weaves together Scripture and personal anecdotes to explore how joyful and satisfying a surrendered life can be.

Editorial Reviews

John Stanley takes us on a ride of hope, surrender, and promise as he compares a gutsy white-water rafting trip from his youth to the lessons of life. . . . Through the backdrop of rapids, paddles, and intense navigation, he weaves an invitation to prayer and belief. With engaging style, Stanley shares his life stories, leaving the imprint of a wild river that takes us to a breaking point, only to be rescued by a Savior wild with love.
