More than ever, we crave spiritual leadership not from academics in ivory towers but from battle-tested disciples in the trenches. This is the trusted counselor we find in Mary DeMuth. With wisdom and experience and tenderness and beauty, she leads us closer to Jesus in Everythingthrough despair, past fear, beyond control, and all the way to surrender.

In Everything, Mary DeMuth gives an honest and touching account of the journey she has taken to bring her out of despair and into Gods glory. She embraces her vulnerabilities and flaws as stepping stones that have shaped her into a mighty woman of God. This book is an amazing testimony of the power of Jesus Christ to transform lives. I highly recommend this book to believers new and old who are in need of a fresh perspective on their circumstances.

Lets be honest. Most of us who follow Christ are holding back. We want Christ but are convinced well miss something if we surrender everything. In this challenging but tender book, Mary DeMuth invites us to give Him everything in order to experience Him as Everything. In the end, it is the only course that will satisfy our deepest longings.

With [Mary DeMuths] great storytelling, personal vulnerability, and scriptural insights she leads us to the paradox of life and eternity: Jesus asks us to give EVERYTHING to Him. And then He turns around and gives us EVERYTHINGand morethan we could ever need or desire. What a trade! Ill take it.
