50 Practical Maxims that Reveal the Wisdom of Letting Go and Trusting God

Most of us spend our lives striving—striving for success, security, and control. But beneath our restless efforts we discover a quiet truth: peace begins with surrender. The Way of Surrender invites readers to discover that truth in their own deeply personal way through the situations and circumstances of their lives.

In this profound spiritual guide, Vic Clesceri explores what it means to let go of fear, release the illusion of control, trust God’s timing, and live from a place of deep interior freedom. Drawing on centuries of Christian wisdom, he distills the quintessential challenge of the spiritual life into fifty short maxims.

Through these reflections, readers are led gently and firmly into the heart of surrender: the moment we stop insisting on our own way and begin to believe in God’s way. Each maxim is a practical meditation on how to live a surrendered life through the daily events of our lives. Surrender is not weakness, failure, or defeat. It is the highest expression of trust. It is a path to peace and the antidote for our anxious age.

Surrender allows us to walk calmly through the inevitable uncertainties of life, confident that God is writing a story far greater than we can imagine.

Accessible, encouraging, and profoundly moving, The Way of Surrender is a companion for anyone seeking spiritual clarity in a busy, noisy, anxious world. Whether you read one maxim a day or all fifty in a single sitting, this book will meet you where you are and gently lead you to where God is calling you to be. Along the way, you will joyfully encounter the ups and downs of life knowing that God is working all things for your good.

It’s time to give God your plans, your hopes and fears, your timing, and your need to control. You will be amazed what God gives you in return.
