Surrender

SURRENDER
the sequel to Arms of Love,
by Catholic author Carmen Marcoux

Delightfully entertaining, Surrender will keep you captivated as it takes you into Brandon and Joanie Vaughn’s new life together and as you follow the unpredictable paths of Maggie and Amie Collins to know God’s will . . . in a whole new story of discernment and responding to God’s call.

An inspiring work for men and women of all ages seeking to know, love, and serve the Lord.

A great way of promoting: marriage, Theology of the Body, courtship, chastity, and our Catholic faith.

An absolute must-read!

Here's what some readers have said:

"It is a wonderful book about discernment and all the amazing and sometimes hard things that come with it, about the sacrifices one makes for love, and the wonderful things that happen when you put God at the center and follow his will."
(Maria, 15 years old)

"I felt like I was watching a movie and I don't even remember turning the pages.  I couldn't wait to see what would happen next.  Surrender is an amazing journey of Faith, beautifully written and captivating. And like Arms of Love, I experienced every emotion and it left me feeling like I went on a spiritual retreat.  May God bless Carmen Marcoux with her vision for writing Catholic fiction."
Monique Niemaszyk,
(home-schooling mother of five
and author of Birthday Snow)

"The truths of this book are powerful and beautifully proclaim the need for vocational discernment.  It is also an inspiration for patience and peace with one's present vocation."
Lynne, 19 years old
(Freshman at Franciscan
 University of Steubenville)

"Each chapter makes me realize something about my own life and inspires me to stop and pray about it."
April, 18 years old)

"I can't express to you how much I enjoyed your book Surrender!  It offered so much insight into how the Lord works through us and other people. In Surrender you give three different points of view from three different characters, which allows different types of readers to enjoy the book and understand it.  One message I appreciated is how often the Lord tries to tell us to slow down, and let Him lead us at His own pace.  That was a great help to me, because it reminds me to hold back, and let the Lord lead me into whatever project I have, or whatever I hope to do.  Thank You for writing this book. I can't wait to read it again!!"
(Jacob, 18 years old)

"In a world where discernment and seeking God's Will are so often ignored, Surrender offers a fresh new perspective on the peace that comes from opening one's heart up to the beautiful and rewarding plans that God has for all those who seek Him with all their heart.  So often discernment can be something scary.  I've felt a lot of fear in the choice to surrender my plans for Christ's plans.  Surrender offers a new
approach to discernment that makes vocation into a gift, not something to fear.  Discernment does not have to be something that causes anxiety or distress.  God desires to tell us what our vocation is...it is not meant to be some mystery that He is trying to hide from us.  Often God simply reveals to us His plan in the quiet movements of our hearts. It's so uncomplicated. I loved how this was depicted in Surrender. It simplifies something that can appear daunting and frightening."
In His Eucharistic Love,
