For everyone that has lived on half a tank of faith, Mary
DeMuth explores the concept of giving everything to live for Jesus, letting Him
take control of your deepest, untouched parts of your heart. Her book, Everything,
which I received through Booksneeze®, discusses the stages we go through in
struggle and despair, until we ultimately lay broken at the feet of Jesus and
He begins to piece us back together.
Written in a fresh voice peppered with description and
warmth, DeMuth admits to her darker hours, where she struggled with many
obstacles and hurts throughout the course of her life, most recently, moving to
France with her family for mission work. Her honesty resonated with me, because
when I started the book, I was coming out of a time of confusion and
discouragement, as well. She helped me realize that I was not in my struggles
alone, and that underneath all my heartache is the necessary abandonment to
lose myself in Jesus. The end of each chapter had reflection questions to
further let His truth sink in. I would certainly recommend this book to anyone
who is hungry to be healed from their hurt, and who longs to give their
everything to Jesus.
