Customer Reviews

Surrender

Surrender is a great tale of a modern day spiritual journey. Stephen Burke manages to put to paper the common feeling of complacency felt in our hurried society of today. It is a must read for anyone who feels as though they are going through life with blinders on, not really enjoying the essence of the moment. This book helps awaken the soul and realize what really is important in life.

Surrender

Surender is an important book for both those who are rediscvering their faith and those who are exploring it for the first time. Eric Petris, the narrator, experiences tests of faith that will be familiar to all readers, and his journey of discovery can be a guide for others.

A book that touches the heart

No book has touch my heart as Surrender has. In this book, Burke courageously models the way to live a life that is truly filled with happiness: painfully honest introspection coupled with the direct confrontation of limiting beliefs. He universally shows us that the seemingly impossible is possible in a way that is inspiring, empowering, and moving.

Must read

Surrender is a book that allows a person to understand the true importances of life. It is a book that should be reread every 5 years to ensure your values and desires are focused. The story is gripping and most meaningful.

An inspirational challenge

Surrender is a challenge to know oneself. It is a challenge to abandon all modern conceptions of money, power, societal pressures and pure existence. Rather than a simple "how-to-meditate" format, Burke invites readers into the central character's intimate experiences to expose the difficulties involved with the struggle to become free. While Eric Petris, the main character, searches his soul, so does the reader. While he battles with demons from his past, readers engage in their own inner-wars. Burke teaches that the journey is not an easy one, but is well worth the struggle. He guides people to the purest forms of freedom: freedom from oneself, freedom from society and freedom from fear.
