surrender | unscripted

Allow me to introduce you to my new favorite book:

This book was recommended by a friend on Instagram and, I have to admit, the cover was so beautiful, I had to check it out on Amazon. Then the subtitle pulled me in further – Surrender your fear. Take the leap. Live on purpose? Me, me, me! I want to read that! That book is for me! Needless to say, as soon as I had a new Audible credit, I downloaded it. Man, am I glad I did!

Make it Happen by Lara Casey

Rating: 5.0 – 5.0

My Thoughts:

Have you ever felt scared about pursuing a more purposeful life? You’re stuck in the routine grind of work or you’re not sure what’s going to happen after graduation. There are dreams tugging at your heart but you know that if you took that leap, you’d be free falling and you’re not sure how you’d handle the great unknown. If you’re like me and you have doubts about your place in this thing called life then this book is for you.

Lara Casey tells her story. The highs and lows. The details she’d rather not remember much less see in print. And it’s not that her story is anymore remarkable than anyone else’s but what drew me in was her honesty and the candid truth that God created each of us with a specific purpose. The journey can get messy and scary sometimes but He still wants the best for us despite our not-so-good choices.

What also drew me in was her invitation to practical application. I like practical books. I don’t just like to know someone’s story, I want the manual that comes with the story and tells me how to make the successes work for me. I want lists and bullet points, writing prompts and inspiring new ideas. This book as it. And that’s why it’s my new favorite.

I can’t recommend this book more highly. It was soooooooooooo…ooo good! If you don’t go to Amazon.com right now and order it, at least go to Lara Casey’s website and check out all her cool resources! You’ll be glad you did :)

Stop chasing the world’s version of perfect and live on purpose for God.

Happy reading y’all!
