In our age of instant gratification and if-it-feels-good-do-it attitudes, self-discipline is hardly a popular notion. Yet it may be one of the most important lost virtues of our time. In Joyful Surrender, former missionary and beloved author Elisabeth Elliot offers her understanding of discipline and its value for people of all times. She shows readers how to - discipline the mind, body, possessions, time, and feelings - overcome anxiety - change poor habits and attitudes - trust God in times of trial and hardship - let Christ have control in all areas of life Elliot masterfully and gently takes readers through Scripture, personal stories, and incisive observations of the world around her to help them discover the understanding that our fulfillment as human beings depends on our answer to God's call to obedience.

When God placed writing this book on my heart, I was struggling and complaining to Him about the state of the church (Christianity worldwide) as someone who travels (50+ countries) and sees the moral slide and what seems to be a lack of urgency from believers to repent, speak God's undiluted truth, and let the Holy Spirit do the convicting. I believe my answer was to write what I believe and then let the Holy Spirit do what He does best-convict. I have deliberately shared summaries of all my points, so readers can do a dive or continue with more studies (both Biblical and scientific) if they so choose. I am trusting God in the purpose of this book, which is to clearly state that Christ is who we surrender to, explain the why of our surrender, outline how we can develop the discipline of surrendering daily when we understand the process biologically and spiritually, and what surrendering through utter and full obedience looks like and does for us on our earthly journey and in eternity. Be blessed. Femi is the Executive Director of Christian Couples Fellowship International Inc. - a marriage and relationship ministry based out of Omaha, Nebraska in the USA. Femi has been blessed to speak in 50+ countries and publish 14 other books (on Marriage, Doctrine and Novels). He is married to Olatokunbo Awodele (a physician) for 30 years, they are blessed with adult children, two boys - Ibukunoluwa and Fiyinfoluwa, and daughter Ebunoluwa.

“As poet, prophet, and priest, Thurman builds upon a powerful legacy of ancestral hope: belief in a liberating God who can always be found ‘in and among the struggling.’” —Yolanda Pierce A universal beacon of hope and endurance for people of all faiths seeking to meet the challenges, uncertainties, and joys of life Howard Thurman’s Meditations of the Heart is a beautiful collection of over 150 prayers, poems, and meditations on prayer, community, and the joys and rituals of life by one of our greatest spiritual leaders. Thurman, a spiritualist and mystic, was renowned for the quiet beauty of his reflections on humanity and our relationship with God. In a new foreword, Yolanda Pierce, dean of Howard University’s School of Divinity, calls attention to the justice-centered theological framework of Thurman’s words. Pierce notes how Thurman brings to light an image of God who can always be found “in and among the struggling,” both in times of weariness and in strength. First written for and shared with his congregation of the Church for the Fellowship of All Peoples in San Francisco, California, these meditations sustain, elevate, and inspire. They are a universal beacon of hope and endurance for people of all faiths seeking to meet the challenges, uncertainties, and joys of everyday life with a renewed and liberating faith.
