Enjoyed this book from start to finish. I appreciated how Lazurek broke it down, each chapter focusing on one area of our lives where we hold onto control. This book is a call to REAL surrender - authentic surrender - and the fulfilled life that awaits us when we make that choice.

This book could help so many people. How many times have we as Christians sang the song, "I Surrender All?" My guess would be for most of us, many. The question is, is that really what we mean? Michelle S. Lazurek captures what it really means to truly surrender to God in virtually every area of our lives in this short, but oh so meaningful book. Using true life stories from her own life and the lives of others, combined with many examples from God's Word, she explores areas of surrender from expectations, to elements of our spiritual lives, family lives and many more. I found this book compelling and convicting, all the while being extremely helpful. The author's vulnerability and honesty in sharing her own struggles in some of these areas gives her immense credibility. This is a book from someone who has been there and wants to help. I sense this is a book I will refer to often both in my personal life and my ministry and I am very grateful to her for writing it. I highly recommend this book!

I was drawn into this book as Lazurek shares difficulties from her life and from the lives of others as she navigates, not only the struggles and rationalizations against surrendering, but also the paths to healing. Peppered with Biblical passages that underscore and explain Lazurek’s message, I Surrender All (Sort Of) illustrates how characters’ situation in the Bible mimic are own and how God shows up to comfort and guide us. Questions following each chapter provide opportunities to ponder the main points and think introspectively about how to move toward freedom.

Anyone struggling to give up control over their life and let God lead will want to read this book. Lazurek surrendered and she lays out a practical plan to show you the way.

I received an advanced copy by the author for an honest review.

I just finished this book as my morning devotion guide this morning.

I highly recommend it. The only downside is that I probably need more...I really have a hard time giving up control!

Blessings to all who helped write and publish this book. And there will be blessings to those who read it and apply it to your lives. Take care and God bless you.

It's spiritual, it's practical, it's emotional. From page one, I found the book relatable. I enjoyed the author's use of personal stories and scripture throughout the book. I received an advanced copy by the author for review and highly recommend this book.
