“LET.IT.GO” Book Giveaway!!
It’s a Thursday and what better way to start your day than with a GIVEAWAY! The amazing and talented, Karen Ehman came out with a new book and 6 week Bible Study, Tuesday: LET.IT.GO: How To Stop Running The Show and Start Walking the Faith. I had a chance to review and read this book earlier this summer. I found myself reading and highlighting the first few chapters. As a matter of fact, I tweeted soon after diving into it.
♥♥♥
Do you know Karen? She is the Director of the Proverbs 31 Ministries speaker team and is a contributor to Focus on the Family’s magazine Thriving Family. She’s the author of many books and has been on just as many tv and radio programs! You can find her blogging here. Be sure to check out everything this chick has blessed us with!
Here’s a little bit more about the book:
Women are wired to control. We make sure the house is clean, the meals prepared, the children are dressed, and everyone gets to where they’re going on time. But sometimes our strength of being conscientious can morph into the weakness of being a slight—or all out—control freak! This humorous, yet spiritually practical book will help you to:
- Take control of your schedule yet welcome interruptions from God
- Draw the line between mothering and micromanaging
- Influence your husband instead of manipulating him
- Learn to control your emotions when you can’t control the circumstances
- Stop pursuing the appearance of perfection and start pursuing the person of God
(If you can’t see video, click here!)

Now you can win one of two copies!

Im going to do my best to grin & bear it this Holy season Already hubby is saying “Donna keep the meals simple Don’t make 500 salads to go with the meal!” I’m scaling down but why do we want to just keep on keeping on? We have family coming in & for once I don’t want to be at the tableI looking @ each one of them & think “When are you going home ?” All because I burned the midnight oil for days before they even arrived????? It’s time to be realistic & chill!!! Thank you Karen for your wonderful advise to us all
Yay! I pinned to Pinterest! <3

I would love to have this book. Faith is my “one word” that I have been trying to live by. But I pray God will allow you to give these books to someone who needs it more.

I pinned this on Pinterest!!
And i shared it on Facebook! Every chance helps!!
Would love to read this!

I can relate to the issue of wanting to run the show – this is definitely a study that I would love to participate in.
I would love to read this book!
We have been doing several of Lisa T’s Bible Studies in our neighborhood and I think this study would be perfect to follow Unglued, for sometimes we want to control because we don’t want things and ourselves to become unglued! I think it will be great!
My family recently told me I’m controling! Can you imagine? Obviously I need help! Thanks for the opportunity to participate!
I am such a total predictable control freaky woman! I need to LET GO in a big way! I am pinning this, sharing it on Facebook, and emailing it to all of my friends that of course are also control freaks…..otherwise, they wouldn’t be able to be my friends…I would drive them crazy!
First time on your blog. trying to win a copy of Karen’s new book. I love being fit on the inside and out! Both takes discipline.
I love to read now that we are retired. bet my teachers would be proud… lol
I would love to win this book and I need to read it! I need to learn how to just accept what is beyond my control and be joyful no matter what!
Would love to win this…. Thanks for the giveaway!
Would really enjoy this to share with my family and sisters that struggle to keep faith!
I can’t wait to read it!
I’d love to win!
Would love to win a copy of this book!

Looks great – can’t wait to read it!
Thanks for hosting this give away. I would love to win this book!
I would love to read this!
Sounds like a good book, would like to get one and read it
It is so hard to give up trying to be in the driver’s seat. I found this to be literally true when my kids were working toward getting their license. Knowing they had to get some practice in, I would pry my fingers off the wheel and wrap them around the passenger door handle instead. My son does a pretty funny (but sadly accurate) rendition on me being a passenger.
I have to admit I am much the same way with the rest of my life. My fingers are locked around multiple areas of life and I feel a panicked sort of terror at letting my kids, my husband, or even (truthfully) God take control. I can say over and over again that God is in control, but my scrambling for the “door handle” says otherwise!
I really wanna read this book!
monk5 at charter dot net
Would love to win this book:)
I am so in need of this book. Being in control has caused to many hurts. I want to let Go and Let God take control. It’s about time I get the help I need.
Would love to win this book. Count me in!
If i win, there is a special person I want to give it to. I wish to leave it to my sister as my health continues to worsen, my heart’s desire is to help her Let Go.
Looks like a book I need to get or win!
Sounds like the book I need to read!
Letting it Go with Christian wisdom and encouragement, yay!!!!!
How exciting…Learing to let it go with good sound biblical principals to follow. Can’t think of a better way!
Smiles & Blessings,
Robin
I need to read this book NOW! Our business has had to close its doors and my husband has worked at this business since he was 14 yrs. old. When the founder (his father) died, my husband ran the business for 20 more years. The changes in the technology has made this neccessary. My husband is now 61 years old so it is unlikely that he can get a job. I MUST trust God to meet our needs. At this point, I cannot even attempt to “run the show”! I am overwhelmed and very afraid of the future with Obama in the White House. I MUST walk by faith!!!!
Pick me; pick me! I need this so bad
)
This book will definitely one I would buy if I do not win. Always such encouragement from Karen.
I so need this book.
I hope I’m able to win this book….it’s what I need to read
