We all wish we had more control.
When our relationships are strained, when our bodies refuse to cooperate, when the future is uncertain, control promises security and peace. If only I were in charge, we dream.
The problem is, the more we seek the illusion of control, the more it betrays us. In place of certainty, it gives us anxiety. In place of predictability, it creates complexity. And in place of unity, it divides.
In this eye-opening book, Sharon Hodde Miller helps us discover
● the psychology and theology behind why we control
● the primary tools of how we control
● the fallout of control and what it costs us
● the solution: the real power God promises us
The answer to our craving is not simply to "let go and let God." Instead, God has given us real power in Christ--to exercise influence over ourselves and our lives.
