    Reading Time: < 1 minute

    From page one, Priscilla Shirer draws you in with her story that is the backdrop for the rest of the book I Surrender All. This book is all about the nuances of being a believer or a disciple, a saved life in contrast to a surrendered life. Priscilla writes her plea to the reader on the back of the book boldly declaring “because there is a difference.”

    Priscilla invites us to examine our lives and ask and answer the questions of surrender.

    She takes the reader through such areas as:

    • Am I surrendered when I speak?
    • Am I surrendered in how I behave?
    • Am I surrendered to act from humility?
    • Am I surrendered to show kindness?
    • Am I surrendered in the choices I make?
    • Am I surrendered in my priorities?

    This is a good book to read alone, or better yet, as a small group of those you desire to grow with.
