What if self-control isn't about trying harder?
We treat self-control like a wall we build with willpower, brick by brick. But Scripture tells a different story. That it is a fruit of the Holy Spirit, not a trophy for the disciplined. Self-Control: Freedom in Surrender gathers testimonies from writers who learned this the hard way. Each chapter shows what it actually looks like to trade self-effort for dependence on God. Inside, you'll find stories that teach:
With chapters written by Dr. Tyann Beenken, DPT, Ariel Leigh, Elizabeth Clark, Warren L. Henderson, Jr., Carol Nankivel, Kaitlyn Minze, Francesca Follone-Montgomery, ofs, and Teri-Lou Uvodich, Self-Control: Freedom in Surrender is the final part of the Fruits of the Spirit Collaborative Book Series, dedicated to featuring stories that bring Galatians 5:22-23 to life.
This isn't a book about restriction. It's a book about freedom, the kind that comes when you finally stop white-knuckling your way through life and let the Spirit take the wheel.
