Have you ever thought you had life under control—until you didn’t? Perhaps thinking “God is in control” but living as if you are. It’s like walking around with a full glass of water, afraid it will spill with one wrong move. And when it spills and makes a mess, you realize what little control you have and how dependent on God you truly are. In Lose Control, Shannon Hoffpauir takes you on a six-week journey through the Book of First Samuel, which is an epic story about a fight for control. Despite God’s warnings through the prophet Samuel, the nation of Israel was determined to take control by having their own king. As you dig into the saga of King Saul and David, who would become the next anointed king of Israel, you will discover that no plan or purpose of God can be thwarted by human beings. Even the worst of circumstances can be used by God to accomplish His purposes in your life. In her no-nonsense, authentic teaching style that endears her to women of all ages, Shannon encourages you to lose control so that you can find your soul through a trusting relationship with your faithful God. Available components for this six-week Bible study, each available separately, include a Participant Workbook, a Leader Guide, and a DVD with six 25-minute segments (with closed captioning). An in-depth six-week exploration of the entire Book of 1 Samuel. Study includes five days of homework for each week. Encourages women to exchange their desire for control for God’s gift of faith. Helps women gain a deeper love and grace for others. DVD features dynamic, engaging teaching in six 25-minute segments.

William Lobdell's journey of faith—and doubt—may be the most compelling spiritual memoir of our time. Lobdell became a born-again Christian in his late 20s when personal problems—including a failed marriage—drove him to his knees in prayer. As a newly minted evangelical, Lobdell—a veteran journalist—noticed that religion wasn't covered well in the mainstream media, and he prayed for the Lord to put him on the religion beat at a major newspaper. In 1998, his prayers were answered when the Los Angeles Times asked him to write about faith. Yet what happened over the next eight years was a roller-coaster of inspiration, confusion, doubt, and soul-searching as his reporting and experiences slowly chipped away at his faith. While reporting on hundreds of stories, he witnessed a disturbing gap between the tenets of various religions and the behaviors of the faithful and their leaders. He investigated religious institutions that acted less ethically than corrupt Wall St. firms. He found few differences between the morals of Christians and atheists. As this evidence piled up, he started to fear that God didn't exist. He explored every doubt, every question—until, finally, his faith collapsed. After the paper agreed to reassign him, he wrote a personal essay in the summer of 2007 that became an international sensation for its honest exploration of doubt. Losing My Religion is a book about life's deepest questions that speaks to everyone: Lobdell understands the longings and satisfactions of the faithful, as well as the unrelenting power of doubt. How he faced that power, and wrestled with it, is must reading for people of faith and nonbelievers alike.

Supporters of Losing Your Mind To Find Your Soul "People would have to buy multiple books to get everything you two are putting into this book" 'I absolutely love your book. Honestly, I'm reading it again because it had so much information. It's deep and embodies so many aspects of spirituality. That's what I enjoyed the most about it. It's different because of that. Everything around spirituality, books, usually focus on only one or two areas. I think back to that time when I was desperately seeking answers and had no one around me to ask or talk to about this. If your book would have been available, wow, a game-changer. I can't tell you how many books I've read, especially when I was desperately seeking out everything and anything that talks about universal beliefs, all of it. Many things were, well, a waste of time. Then I would find a book which is a gold nugget. That's what makes your book amazing. You've covered so many things around this that even if only a few things resonate with a reader, you've given that person a trail and a path to follow. It will lead them to go and open more doors.' - Beta Reader 'This is a great read. I loved that it had little nuggets of information on many areas of spirituality. The author was open-minded. It’s a wonderful book to grab and explore.' - Amazon Review 'Wow I can’t put this book down such a great read.' - Amazon Review "I stumbled across this book by mere coincidence, although there is no such thing. While scrolling through TikTok there were so many books tokens to try the book out, and I am so glad I did. The insight in his own spiritual journey which reflects somewhat so much with my own and explains so much in how I’m feeling and how to accept the process. Fantastic." - Robert Hunt. - Losing Your Mind to Find Your Soul (Audible)
