I’m happy to share a book review of It’s All Under Control with you today! Keep reading to learn more.
It’s All Under Control, Because God Says So
I’ve been a control freak as long as I can remember. Jennifer’s wise book is helping me take an honest look at myself while basking in God’s grace.
She writes with humor and encouragement, gently prodding you to hold on to what’s most important while letting go of what weighs you down.
Her anecdotes are funny and smart, and they show that she really gets me. I love the poignant glimpses of her Iowa farm life, which inspire me to look closer at the details of my own world.
I know I need to make changes, like being kinder to myself and not taking on so much responsibility. This book gives many practical tips on how to make those changes. The sidebars are loaded with thought-provoking questions and action items to help me manage my responsibilities while relaxing in God’s embrace.
This is a book I will return to again and again. It holds me accountable as a recovering perfectionist. If you struggle with anxiety, overwhelm, and a temptation to control, It’s All Under Control is exactly the kind of book you need. It will give you a boost of hope while strengthening your faith.
