by Anne Farnum

Overview

Everyone has baggage!

We all have something that keeps us from living fully for the Lord, but Christ wants us to give our baggage to Him so we can follow Him freely. In Pack Your Baggage, Honey, We're Moving to Paris! Anne Farnum explores the different kinds of baggage we carry. She also focuses on the baggage that King Saul hid behind and compares it to that which David left behind to run toward the giant.

Using her own personal journey during an adventurous move to Paris, Anne shares healing truths of Scripture and methods she found to help others find freedom from their baggage. You will be inspired and refreshed as you realize you no longer have to carry your baggage either.

Anne has a beautiful way of taking less familiar Scriptures to point out deep spiritual truth. She draws from them obvious and important truth we've not seen before, a truth that can change the way we think and act. She understands the deep fears and anxieties that hamper a woman's spiritual growth. You will be charmed as Anne shows you how sweetly God helped her discover her own hidden baggage, to bring it into the light of God's Word, and understand its destructiveness. Her every premise is built on the honest, healing truth of Scripture.

We all have baggage! It's a fact of life. Anne's words are a timely reminder that regardless of our baggage or the darkness of our situation, The Holy Spirit calls us to confidently step into the plan He has for us. What sets Anne's book apart is how she deftly weaves the narrative of her life in Paris around Scriptural truths. There were times in reading the book when I was lost in the winding Parisian backstreets and times when I paused reading to give thanks to Jesus for His truth. Pack Your Baggage, Honey, We're Moving to Paris! is an invaluable read for anyone looking to truly live out adventurous faith.
