Synopsis

Many women are wired to control. You’re the ones who make sure the house is clean, the meals are prepared, the beds are made, the children are dressed, and everyone gets to work, school, and other activities on time.But trying to control everything can be exhausting, and it can also cause friction with your friends and family.This humorous, yet thought-provoking book guides you as you discover for yourself the freedom and reward of living a life “out of control,” in which you allow God to be seated in the rightful place in your life. Armed with relevant biblical and current examples (both to emulate and to avoid), doable ideas, new thought patterns, and practical tools to implement, Let It Go will gently lead you out of the land of over-control and into a place of quiet trust.A companion video-based study for small groups is also available.

While I definitely agree that all of us sometimes add stress to our lives by trying to control things instead of trusting God to be in charge, I didn’t agree with the hypothesis that all women seek control. Plus, there are times when we need to take control; more needed to be said about discerning w......more

Wonderful book that applies to all women all the time and I should probably read regularly, but the style and humor were very...trying. Learned a lot and was definitely challenged though!......more

Goodreads review by Elena on January 21, 2021

Here’s a few of my highlighted thoughts from this book: - Why are we women compelled to control? The answer is simple: because we have a false notion that it actually works. - we must be trained to embrace this dichotomy of a truth: in order to get a grip, we have to let go. - instead of crying, “Lor......more

I also had not realized that the book was heavily focused on women who are wives and mothers, so I could not relate to many of her examples. There were a few parts that I found hard to align with my......more
