The Freedom of Letting Go - A Review

Every chapter of The Freedom of Letting Go by Donna Clark Goodrich ministered to me. Powerful stories and Biblical application make this book a great inspiration and necessary reference for times I need to let go of grief, failure  or success, possessions or pain, children or health issues, youth or guilt, control or worry, doubt or fear. This non-fiction book kept me turning the pages well into the night and brought me to my knees, feeling closer to God. I honestly didn't think I needed to let go of so much! You can purchase The Freedom of Letting Go directly from Donna, Amazon or Barnes and Noble.

Donna is giving away a signed copy of The Freedom of Letting Go. Friday, July 27, we will draw a name from those who leave comments on this post. I hope you win!

“I cannot remember a time I didn’t want to write,” Donna says. “I wrote my first poem out of necessity when I was nine years old. It was Mother’s Day and I didn’t have money to buy my mother a gift so I wrote her a poem. The second one I wrote at the age of 10 for Memorial Day. Our minister distributed copies to church members as they walked into the service. I wrote my third poem at the age of 11 when my dad walked out of his 22-year marriage to my mother. I found even at that young age I could express my feelings on paper.”

Letting go is definitely hard. We are told we must persevere, hang in there, etc. But, sometimes letting go is the right thing to do. Love the cover design.

Thank you for visiting my blog. I agree that learning to let go is sometimes the best--like letting go of control or letting go of my kids. Hard stuff! But God does everything betteer than I!

You would think we would get plenty of practice in life--but the concept is still difficult with each new challenge.

Best wishes, Donna. I pray your book touches many lives.

Thank you for all your comments! I sent out over 100 new brochures to area churches offering to speak on the subject of letting go. Have one set up on October 17 to 200 seniors.

Thanks, Sue. It's my favorite talk to give and seems that all ages relate to it.
