I Surrender All by Priscilla Shirer – Book Review
If you are a Christian, I invite you to take a moment to reflect on what that means in your life.
Do you call yourself a Christian because at some point in time, you made a profession of faith (regardless of how much you’ve grown and how closely you’re following Him now?)
Or do you call yourself a Christian because you are an all-in, devoted follower of Jesus?
I raise this question because that’s the topic of Priscilla Shirer’s latest book, I Surrender All.
Priscilla opens her book by addressing the distinction between being a believer (someone who trusts in Jesus for their salvation) and a disciple (someone who surrenders their entire lives to Him).
According to Priscilla, becoming a believer is the starting point of our relationship with Jesus but it should not be the ending point. Once we accept the free gift of salvation that Jesus offers to all, our growth should lead to discipleship.
Being a disciple and surrendering everything to Him may be something we willingly assent to on the surface, but Priscilla points out that this isn’t as easy as it sounds.
To truly follow Jesus, we must make the daily choice to lay down our lives to follow Him. In each chapter of I Surrender All, Priscilla shows us what this means and provides journaling prompts and space to help us integrate the concepts into our lives.
For most people, the call to discipleship will come at a higher cost than they are willing to pay.
But those who choose to answer the call will find that their decision changes everything and leads to a life of freedom, purpose and fulfillment.
I Surrender All is a highly compelling book that challenges you not only to read it, but to make some hard choices regarding the type of Christian you will be.
