Summary: Radical Surrender Requires Radical Reading
Review: Gordon Ferguson writes about a topic that few disciples really desire to talk about: total surrender. Of course the Bible makes it clear that total and complete surrender is the only way to eternal life (Luke 14:25-35). But how does one truly surrender to Jesus? How do we give up everything for the kingdom of God?

This book seeks to answer those questions. Ferguson writes with conviction that total surrender is the only way to true life. Truly, the way to victory is by surrendering and not by fighting against God.

Summary: Fantastic Book
Review: I read this book soon after I became serious about my relationship with God. I am a very prideful, single mother, who has tried to keep a tight reign on my life and everything in it. I received this book as a gift and it rocked my world. Turning your life over to God is not an easy thing to do, but this book helps us to realize that if our God can create the universe, what makes you think he can't create solutions for your issues? I have seen Gordon speak and he is one of my favorite authors. The book "The Victory of Surrender" is colloquial and practical and I highly recommend it.

Summary: Read the Bible Instead
Review: It's important to surrender to God and not to other people's opinions of what you should be doing. I don't think this book makes that point clearly enough.
