It is easy to lose sight of who we are and our purpose in a world that bombards us with distractions. Bestselling author, spiritual leader Sarah Jakes Roberts inspires us in a new book titled The Power in Surrender. She identifies 100 ways to be authentically, unapologetically you in a world of noise while reconnecting with Christ.

Reading The Power in Surrender is like sitting down with a mentor that knows the right words to say at the right time. Written in a daily devotional format, the 100 ways to seize courage, conquer doubt and trust God's plan are easy to digest. The short passages are encouraging, uplifting and challenging. Oftentimes self-help books can be preachy and make you feel like change is an isolated effort. A "you" problem that should be fixed if you do exactly what the author advises. However, while reading The Power in Surrender, I never got the sense I was doing it alone. Sarah Jakes Roberts' warmth and wisdom exude from the page, providing support every step of the way.

By the time I read the last page, I was excited to acknowledge my growth and surrender to God's plan. No more just making it day-by-day or going through the motions. Time to shut out the noise and embrace a better self in Christ. There is a lot of information packed into 100 devotionals so I will definitely revisit The Power in Surrender as needed. You should too! This book is recommended for Christian women with faith, a desire to grow spiritually and ready to live a life of purpose.

Happy Pub Day, Sarah Jakes Roberts! The Power in Surrender is now available.
