Detalii:

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. And this illusion seems more attainable than ever. Technology, science, medicine, and the internet all promise us ever-increasing mastery over our world.The problem is, control is a devils deal. The more we seek it, the more it betrays us. In place of predictability, it gives us anxiety. In place of certainty, it creates more complexity. And in place of unity, it divides. Its not just that we cannot control things; its that we break them even more when we try.Thankfully the answer to our craving is not simply to let go and let God. When our kids arent listening, when our loved ones are self-destructing, or when our health is declining, we dont have to scramble after control, nor do we have to throw up our hands. Instead, God has given us a better tool.In this culturally insightful and eye-opening book, Sharon Hodde Miller helps us discover the real power God has given us in Christ, to exercise influence over ourselves and our lives.Sharon Hodde Miller, PhD, is teaching pastor at Bright City Church in Durham, North Carolina, which she cofounded with her husband, Ike.
