If you've been fighting a losing spiritual battle, it's time to give up. Bow the knee. Wave the white flag. And turn yourself over to the King of kings.

You will never know real joy, real peace, real success until you learn what it means to live a fully surrendered life, to continually say 'no' to self and 'yes' to God. Choosing the pathway to full surrender will transform your perspective, set fire to your soul, revolutionize your life, and give the spiritual victory you have sought for so long.Surrender is the second book in The Revive Our Hearts Series, which has sold well over 80,000 copies! All three titles now include study questions at the end of each chapter, making them ideal for personal or small group study.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best books I've read this year!, June 15, 2004

This review is from: Surrender (Hardcover)

This book challenged me to give God more - but in a new way. Before I read this book I was often giving God my time and money, letting Him rearrange my priorities and habits as if these acts of surrender were a painful sacrifice. I learned as I read through these pages that such surrender is no sacrifice, but rather my obvious response to Jesus who gave His all for me.
As I understoond what it meant to be a "bondservant" of Christ, I realized that what I signed up for when I came to Christ was the "school of surrender". It should come as no surprise when he asks for more and more of my heart. And as I yield happily, not under obligation, but out of love and by faith, even the earthly rewards are indescribable. I am so grateful that Miss De Moss wrote this book!

This review is from: Surrender: The Heart God Controls (Revive Our Hearts Series) (Paperback)

I love it when God sends the right book at the right time, and that is exactly what happened with "Surrender". I think there are times in my life that I understood what surrendering to Christ meant, and I think I have given Him all. While reading "Surrender", I realized that surrendering is a journey. There are always deeper levels of selfishness to overcome. Surrender doesn't necessarily mean giving something up outwardly first, but it it starts with the bowing of the knee so to speak in our heart to Christ. I also realized that the more I try to hold onto and control even the smallest of things, that I ultimately come under bondage to it, and it becomes one more burden to carry. Christ wants to carry our burdens, and live in a life of peace. Surrender is the only answer.

I will definitely recommend this book to my friends, and keep a copy for myself to look at in the future. It is truly a valuable book. I would also highly recommend "Surrender" for a small group, or a book club. DeMoss has a discussion guide at the back of the book for each chapter. It is a fairly easy read, that could be covered in eight weeks.

Addresses very specifically the needs of tramatized and inocent victims who are searching for emotional, spiritual, and practical answers about where they have been. It will bring spiritual wholeness into view without preaching down, judgement, or self-rightous indignation. May many who have been hurt seek out these books.
