Surrender
Obeying the Greatest Commandment
by
Book Cover & Preview Text
Jesus has come to be Savior and Lord. In receiving salvation, you have given Him your life. Surrender is part of the deal. It’s not separate from salvation; it’s actually the only way to experience the salvation you’ve been given. But, this surrender is not a “white flag” to an enemy; it is running into Love; it is falling into open arms. This surrender removes the barrier that keeps you from God’s blessing and purpose.
2 Corinthians 3:16-18 says this freedom allows you to reflect the glory of the LORD. It frees you to be changed. You are free to fulfill your God-given purpose; to fulfill God’s calling on your life. Your freedom in Christ frees you to love and serve and speak the Gospel.

About the Book
“You must love the Lord your God with
all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind.”
- Matthew 22:37
In this first and greatest commandment,
Jesus asks for ALL.
What does it look like to give all?
How can we really love the Lord with all?
Surrender means letting go and giving it all.
Scripture helps us examine our heart, soul, and mind, revealing what we are holding back. It gives us specific direction about what we need to surrender, but God’s Word also brings the power and promises to help us complete the obedience.
This study will help you shine the light of scripture into your life, revealing why and how you can surrender all to Jesus.
Each chapter is full of scripture and reflection questions to help you live out the Greatest Commandment.
About the Author
Jonna and her husband, Kevin, live in a small community outside of Clarksville, Tennessee. It’s always been home to both of them, so they are surrounded by family. All this love makes it a perfect place to raise their four children. Jonna homeschools the two youngest, while the oldest two attend public school where Kevin teaches (which also happens to be their alma mater). The kids are active in sports, and the whole family spends lots of time outside, playing and working.
Their roots are deep in this community, but together, they seek to offer it all to God’s control and leading. God has called them to surrender their lives and plans in various ways over the years. The most beautiful surrender was to adoption that eventually took them on a trip around the world. Another is a journey they continue to walk as they plant and lead a new church. Kevin and Jonna know and trust in God’s faithfulness. They have seen His love and miracles span the globe and shine light right in their own neighborhood.
Jonna was a teacher for 17 years before making the change to homeschooling. She has served in church ministry since she was a youth helping with younger children. She has worked in youth, children’s, and women’s ministries in various capacities for more than 20 years. She believes ministry begins at home and loves seeing her own children choose to serve the LORD. She is passionate about sharing the love and Truth that can only be found in Jesus and hopes to help others grow in their faith and commitment to Him.
