Editorial Reviews

Product Description

While our culture places great emphasis on comfort, security, control, and success, there are deeper rewards for those who take hold of God’s promises and reach out in the Name of Christ. Adventure, faith, miracles, and a deep knowledge of Jesus Christ. This is what Susie calls her readers to realize.

Author/Speaker Susie Larson makes her message graspable, accessible, and doable. Her stories, scriptural devotionals, and study questions set the stage for a first-hand experience of God’s heart for personal freedom, for the plight of the suffering, and for a conviction to get involved with His work among those in need.
While the book’s primary focus is on the reader’s journey into freedom, it clearly conveys our shared responsibility to “seek justice, rescue the oppressed, defend the orphan, [and] plead for the widow” (Isaiah 1:17, nrsv). This is God’s expectation for those who truly know Him.

When we live in bondage to our fears, insecurities, shame, guilt, despair, or sinful appetites, we live self-focused lives. But when we embrace our freedom in Christ, our hearts are released from captivity and we view everything around us—our relationships, resources, responsibilities, and opportunities—as tools to bring that same freedom to those who desperately need it. This book is for the woman who wants to grow stronger in her walk of faith and who wants to gain a greater view of God’s heart for the world. And it’s to this we are called. May she be provoked, to be as free as God meant her to be. And as a result, may she become an advocate for the freedoms of others.  

Each chapter will include devotional insights, justice quotes, anecdotes, prayer guidance, and study/reflective questions.

5.0 out of 5 stars Kudos!, October 27, 2009
All I can say is, WOW! What a powerful book. Author Susie Larson helps the reader to look inward and see how blessed we are, and to use the advantages we have to help others who are less fortunate. I've read several books on social justice and this is by far the most readable and practical. Kudos to the author for using her success to make a difference in the lives of others!

5.0 out of 5 stars Bull's-eye!, November 3, 2009
By L. Ferguson (Chillicothe, IL USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
As I pondered the message of this book and what has transpired in my own heart, Susie has very practically and clearly connected the dots between my freedom in Christ having a direct impact on the freedom of others. As a result, my heart and my radar have been expanded greatly. Susie's message teaches that Jesus came to set us free, and in turn, as we are set free by His perfect love, the more our heart's desires will be in tune with His desire for us to be a conduit for securing freedom and justice for others. This writing points us toward the "how to" in fulfilling the Great Commandment... "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and all your soul and all your mind and all your strength. And, love your neighbor as yourself." Compelling reading that begs for inner and out transformation, but you are not left to yourself, as Susie has included "initiate your freedom" sections to work though and inspiring prayers for yourself and those in literal captivity. She has truly hit the bull's-eye with this one.

I heard Susie talking about her new book on Chris Fabry Live and knew I needed to read it. Her story is inspiring, uplifting and all based upon the truth of God's word & the freedoms that can only be found in Christ. You will not be disappointed!
