Description

A #1 New York Times bestseller, Making Peace with What I Can’t Control by Lysa TerKeurst offers a faith-centred approach to letting go of the exhausting need to manage people, prevent every feared outcome and control circumstances beyond our reach.

The desire for control often comes from wanting to prevent further hardship, heartbreak and uncertainty. When life feels chaotic, it can be tempting to make plans around every possibility and try to ensure that others do what we believe is best. Yet this can leave us carrying a crushing weight that was never ours to bear.

In this book, Lysa TerKeurst addresses the struggle between trusting God and feeling compelled to take matters into our own hands. She explores how fear can drive controlling behaviour, how to recognise the difference between healthy responsibility and fear-driven control, and how to stop allowing other people’s decisions to rob us of our peace.

Through honest reflection on faith, uncertainty and difficult circumstances, TerKeurst helps readers examine the fears that fuel their need for control and consider what it means to surrender what lies beyond their influence. She also addresses the difficult questions that arise when God seems distant or circumstances do not change as hoped.

Making Peace with What I Can’t Control offers readers an opportunity to release the pressure of having everything figured out, strengthen their trust in God and find greater peace amid life’s uncertainties.
