Summary:

"Jessica's perfect life began to unravel, as she faced the twin pressures of raising her kids and watching her parents age. But along the way, she found new clarity on the freedom available to those willing to unclench their fists, lay down control, and truly die in a new way. Drawing inspiration from Jesus's story from Garden to grave, Jessica's message can help anyone struggling with maintaining control when life and family relationships are hard. Life Surrendered can help you live differently with more peace, less stress, and greater faith by looking as you look closely at the events of Good Friday"-- Provided by publisher.
