Synopsis

For a Christian, waving the white flag doesn’t mean, “I give up!” It means, “Victory at last!”

Struggling with stubborn habits? Secret sin? Spiritual strongholds? The key isn’t how committed you are to the battle—it’s how surrendered you are to God. This truth can be your breakthrough, the first step towards a deeper, richer, victorious spiritual life.

With her compelling mix of profound biblical insight and personal example, Nancy DeMoss Wolgemuth reveals why it is only when you surrender your heart, your soul, your body, your ambitions—everything—to God that He can fully help you triumph.

You can win that battle. You can have that victory. But not until you learn to surrender.

Surrender is the second book in The Revive Our Hearts Series, which has sold well over 240,000 copies! With study questions at the end of each chapter, it is ideal for personal or small group study.

The concept of a sovereign King who exercises absolute control over His subjects is one that our egalitarian, Western minds find difficult to embrace. We want to have a say in the matter-to vote for the leader of our choice. We don't want to bow before an all-powerful monarch. To the contrary, what we really want is to be the king-or at least to have a representative form of government. You don't want to surrender to God's control? You won't bow to His will in relation to your marriage, your morals, your attitudes, your tongue, your eating habits, you spending habits or the way you spend your time? Then count on it-the very points on which you refuse to surrender will become "enemies" that rule over you-lust, greed, possessions, food, sloth, immorality, anger etc.
