    Surrendering It All

    In her book, Everything, Mary DeMuth writes about letting God transform every part of our lives---our thinking, our hearts, and our hands. We can give it all to Jesus and trust Him with the results. It is, in essence, a book about living the greatest commandment: "Love the Lord Your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your strength."everything

    Always vulnerable, always real, always honest, always practical, Mary DeMuth's description of the Everything life can shake up our expectations. It doesn't mean ministry is always successful in the way we define success. It doesn't mean relationships are always smooth and peace always easy. It doesn't mean our plans always work or our past is always perfect. It just means we trust God with every part of our lives and serve Him with whatever He's given to us.

    Mary herself talks frequently about how her imperfect childhood has been transformed by God's grace and her time on the mission field of France, far more difficult than she had imagined, was a precious time of yielding everything to God.

    Sometimes it was the unexpected twists that kept this book interesting and relevant for me. Her thoughts about writing, for instance, were precious and often missed in our celebrity society: focusing on what God wants her to say rather than pushing and pushing and pushing for success, striving to be noticed and to build a platform.

    My favorite portion of the book is actually her discussion of spiritual disciplines because she assumed you knew the basics like Bible reading, church attendance, and prayer, and wrote instead about truly unexpected but absolutely beautiful disciplines we often overlook: Rest, forgiveness, creativity, silence, gratitude and others.

    In some ways, the book is about the lessons she has learned in disappointments, "failures," and unexpected life events. It's about not fighting against God, but surrendering it all to Him.

    I received this book free from the publisher. I was not required to write a positive review and the opinions I have expressed are my own.

    I just finished reading Everything, What you Give and What you Gain to Become Like Jesus, by Mary DeMuth. Let's just suffice it to say, I am speechless and on my knees.

    Mary DeMuth speaks from experience when she challenges us to embrace all that God has for us, even in the painful valleys. She calls sin, sin. She takes those Scriptures that so many people tend to throw out to "encourage" you and teaches them from the context of Scripture, many still being able to be a source of help. She very candidly reminds us what God requires of us, but doesn't leave us hanging there. He cares so much about our spiritual life; so much more than our physical.

    God moves the DeMuth family to France to minister. This was a very difficult season for Mary as she takes us through what God taught her and how He works through His children. We all struggle our whole lives in the fleshly body to overcome sin, handle the daily pressures, some which tend to take our breath away, and strive to become more like Jesus. This book is one of the best I've read to help women accomplish all of these things.

    Little did I know how much I needed this in light of the next month of my life. I love the Lord and so want to be a picture of His grace. I can't go down fighting. I must embrace Him as everything.

    Challenged me after 40 years of walking with Jesus

    Whether you've been following Christ for 6 months or 60 years, this book is for you. Through my Christian walk, I've taught Sunday school for 10 years, I've done Bible Study Fellowship and Community Bible Study and numerous Beth Moore studies. Each has challenged me in its own way. But Everything makes me want to shout from the top of Cowboys Stadium (I live near Dallas.) about what it means to follow Jesus and give him your whole heart. Mary especially stepped on my toes with regard to my need (desire?) for control. I needed that and dozens of other insights from this book. I marked it up as much as I do my Bible and plan to refer back to it for years to come. It's that powerful.

    Mary clearly loves Jesus. But she also desires for others to develop the kind of closeness she has with a Savior who took away her pain, hurt and shame from a devastating childhood. She wants others to understand and live in the freedom Christ offers. She hopes that through that we'll run to Jesus with–well–everything in life.

    I've read dozens of faith-based books–ones that offer wisdom on living out our faith. I can say without reservation that Everything tops that list.

    I received an advanced copy of "Everything" to review. I also had the privilege of endorsing this beautiful book.

    I read this book on my week off from vacation back in July. God spoke to me that week through "Everything". I was beyond blessed.

    While I was reading about Mary DeMuth's life and experiences. I was able to put myself in her shoes. At times, I even felt we lived parallel lives.

    I laughed and cried throughout this book. "Everything" made me think; it convicted me as well as challenged my walk with Jesus.

    I had to ask myself the same question many times while reading this book, is Jesus my everything? If I say He is my everything, do I live as though He is?

    I loved "Everything". I believe in the message and believe every Christian should read this book.

    Mary DeMuth's new book shows what it's like to go through the peaks and valleys of life and come out on the other side whole. Her perspective of Christian living is fresh and current and really speaks to the heart. It is interspersed with quotes, bible verses and most importantly Mary's own personal experiences which make it real, transparent and encouraging for anyone looking to find their way in the world by making Jesus your "everything".
