Publisher's Description
A firsthand look into Kim Walker-Smith's journey from a place of shame and fear to stages around the world where she boldly proclaims the unconditional love of God. Kim Walker-Smith's passionate performance of "How He Loves" helped transform Jesus Culture into a global worship movement. But she wasn't always so confident of God's unrelenting, powerful love. Coming from a painful childhood, Kim struggled to believe that God could heal her heart or bring any sense from her past. Yet when she chose to hand her struggles over to God and receive His love, freedom, and healing in return, everything began to change. On the other side of surrender, Kim began a journey of looking at one painful memory at a time with God and exchanging her perspective for His truth--a journey in which God rewrote her story of pain into a story of redemption and hope. If you are longing to experience God more than the shame or hurts of your past, the pressures of your present, or the fear of your future, Brave Surrender offers a soul-healing path forward. As Kim learned in her own life, the first step--and the bravest step--is letting go. Once we let go of anything that gets between us and God, we are freed to take hold of the life that truly matters. As Kim writes, "When we encounter God's love, it changes the way we see. And when we learn to see what He sees, we will never be the same again."

“I so love Kim’s heart for worship and her passion to help others encounter the love and redemption of the Father. Brave Surrender is a book of beautiful truth and personal stories that will be an encouragement and inspiration to all who read it.”
“God had a great surprise and gift for the church when He created Kim Walker-Smith’s voice. She sings with a passion and abandon unlike any other I’ve known. However, this kind of freedom doesn’t come without struggle, without pain, or without a fight. Thank you, Kim, for being so honest and open with your story. I know this book will be a lifeline to so many in their own journey of faith.”
“What most people know about Kim Walker-Smith is what they’ve experienced as they’ve heard her lead worship on an album or on stage. Countless numbers of people have been impacted by her voice and the anointing on her life. But what most may not know is the woman behind the voice—the daughter, mother, wife, friend, preacher, and leader I’ve been privileged to know since she was eighteen. What has most impressed me is not her ability to lead worship, but her willingness and hunger to embrace growth and allow God to shape her life. Up close and personal, I’ve watched her walk with Jesus off the stage. Through mountains and valleys, in hard times and good times, she has consistently positioned herself in full surrender to God. In Brave Surrender, Kim invites us on the same journey of intimately knowing the love of a Father who will never leave us or forsake us and calls us to trust Him completely. With raw honesty and vulnerability, Kim inspires us to experience experience a freedom that can only come through surrender to a Father who surrendered all for us.”
“Brave Surrender is a majestic telling of the unparalleled power of God’s love. Kim Walker-Smith vulnerably opens up the scenes of her life, allowing us to dive into the experiences that led her to understand the splendor of surrendering to a good God. Read and know that God’s all-consuming love is waiting for you.”
“Kim Walker-Smith’s book grants us a glimpse into God’s work in her life. For all who seek to discover their gifts, find healing for their hearts, and minister to others, this wonderful book is a terrific resource.”
