External pressure and stress, especially in these modern times, can sometimes overwhelm a person's psyche and sow disorder in their life. Anger, depression, and anxiety can plague anyone at any point. Rachel Jobe and her husband Jim were missionaries working in Asia with their three boys when she reached her breaking point. According to Jobe, perfectionism is rooted in fear. In Let Go!, the author urges readers to allow God to take over the issues in our lives so that we can find freedom, joy, victory, and healing. Drawing upon the knowledge in the Scriptures, Jobe shows you how surrendering aspects of our lives to God, such as plans, prayers, strategies, and time, can help us find peace and serenity while taking us spiritually closer to Him.

Personally, this is one of the most remarkable books on Christian living I've read this year. Let Go! is a self-help book unlike any other. Using her experience as a missionary and citing several experts in the field, Rachel Jobe offers readers keen insights to help them navigate the rigors of everyday life, providing a practical framework that takes them toward the path of God and transforms their lives for the better. The author advocates surrendering ourselves to the will of God and practicing love, kindness, and compassion through faith in Him and His workings. I found this book very inspiring, informative, and practical. Jobe has an engaging and accessible writing style, and it makes reading this book all the more enjoyable. I highly recommend it to Christian readers.
