on our own plans and desires, many of us, even Christians, find ourselves trapped in dissatisfaction, emptiness, and restlessness. In this insightful book, Mike Fransen challenges this mindset by expounding on what happens when we surrender control of our entire lives to God, allowing Him the opportunity to fill us with purpose and fulfillment.

Fransen explores how societal tendencies elevate self-centered ambitions while dismissing the Creator's design, resulting in chaos, emptiness, and uncertainty. God offers a much different custom-tailored plan for anyone so inclined-one marked by trust, surrender, and the courage to follow where God leads.

Using personal experience and biblical examples, Fransen delves into the tension between our human nature and God's higher call for each of us. Like an arrow that flies the farthest when shot from the bowstring pulled tight, true growth, he writes, comes from thriving within this tension. We must be willing to embrace both the struggle and the triumph that comes with surrender. Through these reflections on plans and purpose, readers are invited to live with passion, seek God's guidance, and discover the life they were truly meant to live!
