The study came out at just the right time during the COVID-19 virus quarantine. There were so many areas that I wanted to be able to control but I was not able to.
We all have our seasons of being in the wilderness. Knowing that God is with us every step of the way is the key to coming through it.
Barb gives you practical steps to get you through whatever you are dealing with. This has given me hope, helped to lower my anxiety level while opening up my eyes to areas I still struggle with.
I have done several other of Barb’s studies and have enjoyed them. She has an easy-going way of relating to people. You feel as though she is your best friend sitting in a room with you discussing life.

"Surrendered," reminds us that we're not in control! I enjoyed this relatable, honest and encouraging study. Being able to let go of the need to control everything was a message this type A person really needed to hear! The study is a 6 part journey alongside Jesus in the wilderness. The six topics covered are: Recognizing You Can't Handle It, Stop Following Your Feelings, Give Up Control and Reach for God, Embrace God's Better Blessing, Let Go of Fear and Experience the Blessings of a Surrendered Life. Each topic has items that are applicable to almost everyone and shows the participants how we can tackle life's challenges with God's help.
I was an early reader of the study, thanks to the publisher. All opinions are my own.

This has some great tips for learning to let go that are practical and fairly easy to do. I did not always think that the Bible verses chosen to emphasize the points were on target. This is a great read for learning to trust God.

This book is filled with action steps to help you truly spend time in the Word and releasing those things that bind us to the Lord.
Not filled with fluff, but principles that help you take it one step at a time as you truly surrender your life to HIM.

God's perfect timing gave me this exceptional study by Barb Roose. It has brought me to a place to surrender and to let go and let God through the heartache of my divorce.

I recently did this study with my mom and a friend, and it was such a blessed time. I struggle with surrender, especially when it concerns loved ones. I want to "fix" them or give advice, etc. While counselors told me I wasn't responsible, this book came at a time I was more willing to listen.
Of course, just because I completed the study doesn't mean I still won't struggle. However, it did give me hope over certain situations and helped me acknowledge that God is at work even when I don't see it.
* We didn't use the videos. The study book worked just fine for us.

Wonderful study!! So very helpful and insightful. Lots of space to respond to what you are learning in this workbook. She really helps us to look at our "control-loving" behaviors and how they only get us all knotted up. Deep with Scripture and sharing her own experiences, this guide helps the reader to examine motives and learn to surrender to God all those things we cannot control. Highly recommend!

This study was such a blessing to me. It showed me areas of my life that I needed to surrender to God.

Great bible study for a small group or by yourself. Are you currently going through a time in your life things aren’t going right? That’s a season. This book shows how you are not alone. Maybe you aren’t going through anything at all. This book is still a good read. It’s a reminder how far God has brought you. Blessings before, now, later and more.

You may have heard the saying, feelings are true, but they don't tell us the truth. This study is bringing truth! Engaging and easy to understand. Amidst my "coronacation", this book couldn't have been more perfectly timed. However, these principles apply to every season of our lives. I encourage anyone who feels like that don't have control over their situations to give it a read.

An engaging Bible study that made me want to keep reading. Barb’s fresh insights into taking stories from the Bible and applying them to my life today are valuable. I’m taking her 6 Surrender Principles and using them to surrender my need to control others and outcomes. And Barb shares some of her own life stories in a way that make me feel like I’m talking with a trusted friend. Get ready to open your heart and grow in your walk with God!

One of my favorite quotes from Surrender is: "Ultimately, God redeemed that devastating circumstance by fixing the broken spiritual beliefs and attitudes inside of me. As God began to transform my heart and mind, I learned to open my hands and let go of trying to fix a situation in hopes of securing my vision of what a happy outcome looked like. As a result, instead of begging for a particular outcome, I’ve learned to ask for God’s best, even if there is pain and hurt involved.”
Thanks Barb, for this powerful book to help us stop wasting our energy fighting battles over which we have no control. When we surrender our battles to our loving God, He is trustworthy to care for us!
