Overview
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.
