How Can I Let Go If I Don't Know I'm Holding On?: Setting Our Souls Free (An Explorefaith.org Book) Paperback – August 1, 2005

This is the second nook I purchased

We are using this book at our bible study. It has been well received and has brought up discussions in the group. We had been studying the 12 disciples , so this is a little more personal in our own discipleships.

Entertaining and thoughtful. Used for book discussion at senior living center. Great response.

Easy to read. Fills many needs for self examination.

I agree with the previous reviewer. This book taught me so many things about how hanging on to past losses, failures, relationships, concepts and beliefs can be so unhealthy for us as human beings. Douty relates her own personal experiences as a way to help people feel they are not alone in these struggles. This book is very brave, honest account of how hanging on to the past can greatly impede our potential for peace and serenity in the present. This book was difficult for me to read at first because of the emotions involved and the extent to which I need to let go of so many things. But Douty comes out on the other side with lessons learned and a personal sense of inner peace that I aspire to every day. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is committed to travelling the sometimes frightening path to wholeness. This book will fill you with hope.

Our church book study group has read and discussed a large number of books in the last several years and this book provided the material to spark the deepest and most soul searching reading and discussion we have ever experienced. None of us being perfect, we found that all of the areas that the author explored were painful to many of us also. We appreciated that the end of the book gave concise guidelines on how to let go, and that the author was so painfully honest about the areas of her life she needed to let go.

Tremendous, compelling writing. I couldn't put it down. I could relate to so many of the stories in this book. It talks a lot about bettering your relationship with God, but it is about so much more than that. There's something in this book for virtually everyone.

Linda Douty's book is fresh and insightful. It will help you see inside your soul!

I found this book easily readable. The author writes from her own experience, and shares the experiences of others'. The questions are challenging, but they helped me to face the truth in an honest and reflective way. I recommend this book to just about everybody, its very relatable to many experiences. A thorough and well written and thought provoking read. I would highly recommend it if you're serious about change in your life.
