[Doris McAllister]

Highly recommend this book. Scott is reading it now, and then we're going to pass it along to our Pastor for his reading list.

n Loosed From the Taskmaster, Pastor Sam Carr writes with a warm and conversational tone that feels as though he’s sitting right across from us, sharing wisdom and encouragement. His writing flows with eloquence and a natural ease, comparable to bestselling authors, making the book deserving of wide acclaim. Yet, the book might not be as well-known due to its overtly Christian message, which some readers may overlook. But this is precisely where Carr’s strength lies—grounding his advice and reflections firmly in Scripture, helping readers break free from the invisible “taskmasters” that hold them captive.

For any Christian reader, Loosed From the Taskmaster feels like a refreshing dive into areas of daily life often overlooked by biblical guidance. Carr tackles these topics with simplicity, honesty, and authenticity, reminding us of Spurgeon and C.S. Lewis’s impactful prose. There is a remarkable depth in this book, as it blends accessibility with profound insights, proving that simplicity is indeed the ultimate sophistication—a quality Da Vinci famously attributed to true genius and one that Carr exemplifies in his work.

This book doesn’t force any conversions or hard-sell the faith. Instead, it’s crafted with authenticity and respect, making it accessible even to those who may be unfamiliar or hesitant about Christian teachings. Loosed From the Taskmaster stands out as a good read, light in tone but weighty in message, with the power to reach even the most guarded hearts. It’s a book that’s as inspiring as it is original, perfect for anyone seeking spiritual insight in an increasingly complex world.
