Surrender: The Happiest Decision of My Life

by Yonggyu Lee

What does it mean to live a life surrendered to Christ? Does it require giving up comforts or possessions? Is there a biblical model we can follow?
Best-selling author, Dr Lee Yonggyu, missionary to Mongolia and many other countries, answers these questions in Surrender: The Happiest Decision of My Life. His Korean publication sold over 760,000 copies. Now, this English translation brings his much-needed message to Western Christianity.
Surrender tells the lessons Dr Lee learned as he sought to obey God on the mission field. After his graduation from Harvard in America, he and his family dedicated two years to missions. Two years turned into eight as he pastored Jireh Church in Ulaanbaatar, the capital of Mongolia, and served as Vice-President of Mongolia International University, a Christian-founded school.
Through sharing his experiences, Dr Lee hopes to challenge and encourage believers around the globe to serve wholeheartedly. He wants Christians to know how God works through those who crucify their lives in Christ. He says, After we surrender our rights, we receive a satisfying inner peace and freedom from heaven.

What is that one thing in life that will make you truly happy? Dr. Younggu Lee demonstrates through the detailed events of his life—from choosing his major to serving in the mission field of Mongolia—that Surrender to God is the only answer.

I truly enjoyed Surrender, cover to cover. You feel with Dr. Lee as he faces daily unknowns, supplied only with knowledge that God will equip where he leads. Surrender is not a how-to book, but rather an adventure, illustrating a life fully devoted to Jesus Christ.

Thanks to a dear friend for loaning me this book to read! Hearing about his (and his community’s) faith and testimonies was encouraging and inspiring. 🖤
