My review...
I’ve listened to Pastor Prince a few times on
television, but I’ve never read any of his books. When I saw this one, I knew
it was one I needed to check out, as the topic looked like one I’d be able to
identify with on many levels … and I was correct.
The author grabs the reader’s attention with the first
paragraph. Prince includes numerous personal stories, as well as testimonies
others have shared with him. He uses these to illustrate the various points.
Biblical truths are infused throughout the book.
In today’s society, it’s hard to not feel anxious at
times. In this book, Prince tries to
show the reader that it is possible
to release those problems to God and live the “let-go life” God wants us to
have. He points out the destructive power of stress, often called a “silent
killer.” There were so many things in this book that jumped out at me, and I
highlighted many passages that I will go back to when I need to be reminded to
just “let go” of my worries.
A salvation prayer, along with other resources (such
as a sign-up for free email devotionals), is included at the end. Prince also
gives contact info and encourages the reader to share their testimony with him.
Some of my favorite quotes:
· “Living
the let-go life is a daily journey of faith. Every day, there is a battle for
our minds.”
· “We
live the let-go life by letting go of our worries and replacing them with God’s
Word.”
· “When
you are being attacked by worrisome thoughts, meditating on His Word is the
best remedy.”
· “If
something does not work out, believe that the Lord is setting you up for
something greater.”
· “Don’t
let your past cripple you from stepping into His promises for today.”
