You have a plan for the rest of your life. God has a plan for the
rest of your life. Are they the same? Say Yes to God--formerly
titled Dangerous Surrender--will help you find the answer. You have
expectations for how your life will play out, and you hope those
plans will become realities. But what if God's plan for your life
is far different from what you had in mind? Can you accept that?
Will you surrender your goals for God's? Kay Warren had a plan.
Together with her husband, Rick Warren, author of the megaseller
The Purpose Driven Life, she planned that after her kids were
grown, she'd travel the world, teaching and encouraging couples in
ministry. It was a good plan. But it wasn't what God had in mind
for her. In her own startling wake-up call, Kay discovered the
shocking realities of the AIDS pandemic in Africa while reading a
magazine. "I want to use you!" she heard God say. That began the
struggle--first to avoid God's call and then to surrender herself
to God. She cried out to God, "Why are you bothering me with this?
There's nothing I can do about it. I'm just an ordinary person.
What could one person do about such a gigantic problem?" But God
had grabbed her attention and wouldn't let go. If you've ever
struggled with knowing and doing God's will, this book is for you.
With raw honesty, Kay goes straight to the heart of the matter: the
bottom line is surrender. Will you say yes to God? Along the way
she'll introduce you to others--people like you--who have said yes
to God and have made a difference in the world. Using their skills,
energy, faith, and a willingness to take risks, they became
powerful instruments of change and tools in God's hands. Giving in
to God isn't easy. It's not for cowards. It's the boldest, riskiest
step you'll ever take. This dangerous surrender can bring both joy
and pain, both heartache and ecstasy, but it enables you to know
God in a far deeper way than ever before. "I had to make a
conscious decision. Would I retreat to my comfortable life and to
my settled plans? Or would I surrender to God's call and let my
heart engage with the cause to which he called me, one that I was
pretty sure would include buckets of pain and sorrow? I felt like I
was standing on the edge of a giant precipice; I couldn't go back,
and yet the way forward looked like stepping into a void." Kay
Warren took that step, choosing to say yes to God. That decision
transformed her life and reshaped her future. She invites you to do
the same. You'll benefit most by discussing this book with others.
