"In Surrendering Certainty, Abby McDonald helps us discover true contentment in our right-now moments through surrendering to God our need for next-step certainty. McDonald beautifully weaves engaging personal stories and solid biblical truths through the pages, showing us how to release our expectations for the clarity we think we need and embrace the journey of moving forward in faith. Readers will appreciate the simple yet practical steps to walk forward without fear, trade comfort and familiarity for adventurous faith, and consider the possibility that life's distractions are, as McDonald suggests, 'holy moments' meant to refine us and transform our lives. I highly recommend Surrendering Certainty - a message that reminds us our purpose and calling are ultimately rooted in Jesus. This book will refresh your soul and encourage you to venture beyond whatever you're waiting for."

"When it comes to following God's plan for our lives, we often want to know exactly what the future holds, along with step-by-step instructions for how to make it happen. However, as Abby points out in Surrendering Certainty, hearing from God is less about future outcomes and more about present peace and obedience. If you're stuck - craving security, paralyzed with fear, worried about making the wrong choice, or doubting your ability to fulfill God's call - this book provides a wise and thoughtful way forward. By asking probing questions, sharing personal struggles, and drawing truth from scripture, Abby helps us see that trusting God for the next step is what brings true freedom."

"This book is for anyone who thinks knowing God's voice so as to understand his guidance is either too murky or reserved for a spiritually select few. Surrendering Certainty unpacks practical, scripture-based insight to help us get unstuck and go where God leads. After watching Abby absolutely live out this book navigating big moves, career opportunities, and frustrating obstacles, I'm thrilled her tested wisdom is here for us all."
