Publisher's Description
Many women are wired to control. You're the ones who make sure the house is clean, the meals are prepared, the beds are made, the children are dressed, and everyone gets to work, school, and other activities on time. But trying to control everything can be exhausting, and it can also cause friction with your friends and family. This humorous, yet thought-provoking book guides you as you discover for yourself the freedom and reward of living a life "out of control," in which you allow God to be seated in the rightful place in your life. Armed with relevant biblical and current examples (both to emulate and to avoid), doable ideas, new thought patterns, and practical tools to implement, Let. It. Go. will gently lead you out of the land of over-control and into a place of quiet trust. A companion video-based study for small groups is also available.

“LET. IT. GO. KAREN EHMAN How to Stop Running the Show and Start Walking in Faith If there was ever a book tailor-made to hit at the heart of a woman’s struggle with control, this is it. I found myself nodding my head in agreement even though I wouldn’t have classified myself as a control freak. But boy, did I have a lot to learn. Not only does Karen challenge us on this important issue, she equips us to find the peace we crave as we learn to practically “let it go.”
“Are we trying to be godly, or are we trying to be God?”
“I Am A Flagrant Control Freak” and “I Pretend Otherwise Or Know Someone Who Does,” If you are ready or in the least bit curious about how to learn to truly get a grip on life, this is the book for you! Karen Ehman knows that in order to get that grip on life you so desire, you first have to let it go. Say what? Let it go? Trust me on this and continue reading. Let. It. Go. doesn’t pull any punches (and I think we control-challenged women can and do appreciate such straightforwardness) as Karen melds her own often hilarious, sometimes painful, stories of learning how to quit calling all the shots with a lighthearted writing voice, sound biblical wisdom, and ‘You can do this!’ encouragement.”
“Let. It. Go. is a fresh, graceful way of pinning down what so often pins us down … control. Ehman masterfully tells her own story of breaking the control cyle in the life of her family. She teaches us to walk the line between control and trust, and to embrace the imperfect in our lives.”
“vibrant stories, heart-felt insight, and practical spiritual applications will stay with you long after you have finished reading the book.”
“Packed with wisdom, wit, and wonderful tools to tame the control freak in all of us, Let. It. Go. is more than a book—it’s a resource you’ll want to keep for years! Karen doesn’t just tell us what to do, she shows us what she’s learned through her own struggles and helps us see how our need for control could be controlling us. Each chapter includes biblical teaching, everyday life examples, self-assessments, and practical tips that will give you the confidence you long for in your roles and relationships so that you can let go and lean more on the One who is ultimately in control!”
“Do you need biblical and practical wisdom for learning to walk by faith? This book is for you! Karen Ehman is funny, relatable, authentic, and inspiring. She speaks to the heart of every woman’s built-in need to control, revealing what our true need really is—we need to “let it go.”
