Synopsis

Based on the story of the apostle Paul's near catastrophic shipwreck (see Acts 27-28) , this is a call to individuals to "shake off" problems and disasters in life and move forward to new health and wholeness.

Some days you feel as if you take one step forward only to fall back two—or ten— steps. You struggle and push through one obstacle after another. You know God is present, but when is he going to rescue you from all the storms, shipwrecks, and snakes surrounding you? The apostle Paul faced a great crisis such as this on his epic voyage to Rome, which ended with a disastrous shipwreck—yet every person aboard was saved by grasping broken pieces of wood.

In Shake Free, Samuel Rodriguez issues a powerful call for you to shake off your problems. He writes, “When the storm breaks in your life, you will be driven by: 
• the past or the future
• the pathetic or the prophetic
• problems or promises
• nightmares or dreams
• the flesh or the Spirit
• Google searches or godly churches
• the drama of the storm or God’s destiny for your life.”

Rather than merely surviving circumstances, you can discover how to navigate through life’s challenges to truer wholeness and bigger victories from God.

“Shake Free . . . will help you break free of emotional, mental, and spiritual burdens. . . This book is necessary for all those who are ready to take back control of their lives!”—DeVon Franklin, producer and New York Times bestselling author

This book was divinely placed in my path when Pastor Samuel Rodriguez visited my church. I was blown away by his annointing and rushed to purchase this book.

Goodreads review by Pedrocarlo on January 07, 2019

This book is sort of a series of small sermons or devotions that you just have to interpret independently before you do it all in one. It all come together into a single message but I feel as if reading this once was not enough as I kept going back to it and reading it again to get a better understa......more

Shake Free Is all about this study of Paul. It talks about how perceptions is not reality, storm driven or destiny driven? How to be no longer anchored by fear. And also talks about how you will make it even without your ship. All these above are like Paul and are just a few chapters in the book. Th......more

Goodreads review by Melissa on August 17, 2021

I read this book with a women's bible study and covered one chapter a week for the duration. The book spawned some interesting discussions with the group, but the right women's group can achieve the same result with any trite maxim they've found written on the back of any extraneous paper napkin.

Quotes

“If you desire God to influence the way you think, live, and lead, then read Shake Free. I love the challenge given by Samuel Rodriguez when he calls us to trust God in life by pursuing plan G…God’s plan for us! He writes, ‘He is your plan A, plan B, plan C—there can be no other plan.’ Each of us needs this encouragement. Reading Shake Free not only will help you to be released from the things that bind you today but also will prepare you to enter the future that God has for you.”—Dr. Ronnie Floyd, senior pastor of Cross Church and president of the National Day of Prayer

“It is not always outside forces preventing us from excelling in the ways God intended. Sometimes our own insecurities and fears hinder us from reaching our greatest potential. In his new book, Shake Free, Sam Rodriguez will help you break free of emotional, mental, and spiritual burdens in your life. This book is necessary for all those who are ready to take back control of their lives!”—DeVon Franklin, producer and New York Times best-selling author

“Samuel Rodriguez is a man of God I believe everyone needs to hear. His latest book, Shake Free, captures his heart to see people experience freedom and fulfillment. Read this book and begin living a life of strength and security that overcomes every challenge you face.”—Dr. Jack Graham, pastor of Prestonwood Baptist Church

“In Shake Free Sam Rodriguez uses one of the more detailed events in the New Testament—the apostle Paul’s incredible sea journey that ended in a shipwreck—to reveal how anyone caught up in a life journey that appears headed for catastrophe may find the way to safety and spiritual growth. Just as Paul ‘shook off’ the viper that threatened his life, so we, through the power of the Spirit, can shake off the problems and challenges that are keeping us from true freedom in Christ.”—Dr. Tony Evans, senior pastor of Oak Cliff Bible Fellowship and president of the Urban Alternative
