I am the worrier in my home. It seems as if my husband happily skips through life without much awareness of how the bills get paid or how day-to-day problems are handled. I believe I am, for the most part, a bit calmer than he is at handling things, but I worry. There are times, I have been up for hours stressing about a situation that has come up, so I have to say, that this book was certainly meant for people like me.

After the first few chapters, I felt a huge sense of relief and freeness. I’ve always liked the Bible verse that says that God will cover me with his feathers. It brings to mind as much comfort as a warm blanket and someone to care for me so I can relax. (Psalm 91:1-4) One of the best things for me was how Joseph put that in this book along with the verse about how God cares so much for sparrows that not even one could fall to the ground without God knowing, and we are of so much more value. Add to all this, the verse that states that we are not to worry about tomorrow. How much of this I had never accepted as completely true for me. How hard I have worked to stay in control of everything in my family’s life, and never turned to God and let go of it all.

This book was filled with so much wisdom for me, and it wasn’t a book I could rush through. I’ve highlighted sections and wrote down bits and pieces that I will refer to often. I am grateful that I had the opportunity to read it. I’ve made a note that I need to read this book again and again. I recommend it for all those who hold to too tightly to the everyday problems of life.

I began reading Live the Let-Go Life with great anticipation and a heart open to Pastor Prince’s teachings. As a result, this book has been invaluable at a difficult time when I dearly needed to enter into God’s rest. At the same time I was reading the book, I was also following along with Joseph Prince’s sermons on television where he teaches on the same subject. It has been a blessing! I practice daily to release my cares to God. I can’t imagine anyone who wouldn’t benefit from this book, especially in the crazy, fast-paced world we live in. There are many passages I have underlined and written down to share with family and friends and to say in my own prayers. There are simple things you can do, simple prayers to pray, that can change your life and yet many don’t or won’t bother with them because they believe it’s just too easy. Thank you Pastor Prince! This book has opened up my eyes.

Joseph Prince's teachings have always been enlightening, but most of all, I've been drawn to the way in which he reveals Christ in the bible. 'Live the Let Go Life' is a little different from what I've seen so far: a concern with letting go, though the focus does seem to be making the conscious choice to do 'rest' oneself, without addressing the concern that some people are just unable to do so, then worry (ironically) that they cannot or don't know how to. Prince nonetheless uncovers what a Christ-centred rest means, though ultimately, it should not be a 'wistful' dream for believers, who might make 'rest' something to strive towards and stress about, thereby making it a law to obey.
