At best, the word surrender is decidedly un-American � �Remember the Alamo,� �Leave it all on the field,� �Never give up.�
But Scripture and Father Larry Richards can be equally as compelling as he challenges you to go against the grain and do what few are willing to do.
A gifted and captivating speaker, preacher, and retreat master� inner city pastor Father Richard�s infectious enthusiasm, in-your-face realism and solid teaching will help you see how surrendering to the will of God paves the way to obtaining the peace �which surpasses all understanding, that will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus� (see Phil 4:7).
Following in the footsteps of his best-selling Be a Man book, Surrender outlines concrete steps you can take to dwell in peace. Simply put, God wants every one of us to be a saint � which is a lot of work! It requires developing a plan for your life, in accordance with the Lord�s will.
Prayer is the key to this, as it opens the soul to hearing God�s voice and accepting his guidance. But prayer too requires discipline and planning. Father Richards is the life coach every one of us needs on the sidelines of our daily life � the tough love coach who calls it like he sees it.
Allow yourself to move out of the driver seat and surrender to the one who knows all � God.
