About this listen
Based on the story of the apostle Paul's near catastrophic shipwreck (see Acts 27-28), this is a call to individuals to "shake off" problems and disasters in life and move forward to new health and wholeness. Some days you feel as if you take one step forward only to fall back two - or 10 - steps.
You struggle and push through one obstacle after another. You know God is present, but when is he going to rescue you from all the storms, shipwrecks, and snakes surrounding you? The apostle Paul faced a great crisis such as this on his epic voyage to Rome, which ended with a disastrous shipwreck - yet every person aboard was saved by grasping broken pieces of wood. In Shake Free, Samuel Rodriguez issues a powerful call for you to shake off your problems.
He writes, “When the storm breaks in your life, you will be driven by:
- The past or the future
- The pathetic or the prophetic
- Problems or promises
- Nightmares or dreams
- The flesh or the Spirit
- Google searches or godly churches
- The drama of the storm or God’s destiny for your life
Rather than merely surviving circumstances, you can discover how to navigate through life’s challenges to truer wholeness and bigger victories from God.
“Shake Free...will help you break free of emotional, mental, and spiritual burdens....This book is necessary for all those who are ready to take back control of their lives!” (DeVon Franklin, producer and New York Times best-selling author)
“In Shake Free Samuel Rodriguez explains that God’s way is not just the best way; it’s the only way....This book...will change your life!” (Robert Morris, founding senior pastor of Gateway Church and best-selling author of The Blessed Life and The God I Never Knew)

Story
We live in a world that can best be described as a collective mess: messes in our families, careers, communities, and culture. We find ourselves fighting through the chaos just to survive. But our God is still God in the mess. Inspired by the story of the blind man in John 9, bestselling author and pastor Samuel Rodriguez shows us that sometimes Jesus makes a mess first—and out of that mess emerges a miracle. Full of biblical inspiration, scientific findings, and true stories, Pastor Sam reminds us that God's process is temporary but his promise is permanent.

Story
In both sports and war, athletes and soldiers must work to have a mental edge to successfully deal with all that they encounter. While success for both is typically defined as overcoming their respective opponents, the reality is that their victories can never happen unless they’ve first won their internal battles. I Declare War is a practical guide for fighting our inner war, the struggle against sin that breaks us down and fills our lives with pain and suffering, in turn making us feel weak and inadequate.

Life is often messy. We hear people say, “My life is a mess,” or “This situation is a mess.” What they mean is that life has become difficult, painful or confusing. But God never promised us a trouble-free life. In fact, His Word tells us to expect the opposite. In John 16:33, Jesus says, “In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world” (NIV). In Blessed in the Mess, beloved Bible teacher Joyce Meyer shows us how to be blessed in the midst of life’s most challenging circumstances.

Escape the enemy's deadly trap! The Bait of Satan exposes one of the most deceptive snares Satan uses to get believers out of the will of God - offense. Most people who are ensnared by the bait of Satan don’t even realize it. Don’t be fooled! You will encounter offense, and it’s up to you how it will affect your relationship with God. Your response will determine your future. If offense is handled correctly, you will become stronger rather than bitter. John Bevere shows you how to stay free from offense and escape the victim mentality.

We’ve never been more educated and entertained. We have technological tools our parents could only dream of, and we are saturated with information, amusement, and recreation. Yet more than ever, we are starving for hope. After 40 years of counseling and ministry, Max Lucado has learned that nothing lifts the desperate, weary heart like the promises of God. In a world full of despair, depression, anxiety, and instability, we do not need more opinions or hunches; we need the definitive declarations of our mighty and loving God.

Now they arise as the burning ones to release the word of the Lord and fire of Heaven into the four corners of the earth. In The Wild Ones, prophet and worship leader Nate Johnston offers an urgent summons to the wilderness' prophetic voices, and a jarring wake-up call to the established church: If we are to experience a fresh outpouring of the Spirit, we must reform!

Critic reviews
“If you desire God to influence the way you think, live, and lead, then read Shake Free. I love the challenge given by Samuel Rodriguez when he calls us to trust God in life by pursuing plan G…God’s plan for us! He writes, ‘He is your plan A, plan B, plan C—there can be no other plan.’ Each of us needs this encouragement. Reading Shake Free not only will help you to be released from the things that bind you today but also will prepare you to enter the future that God has for you.” (Dr. Ronnie Floyd, senior pastor of Cross Church and president of the National Day of Prayer)
“It is not always outside forces preventing us from excelling in the ways God intended. Sometimes our own insecurities and fears hinder us from reaching our greatest potential. In his new book, Shake Free, Sam Rodriguez will help you break free of emotional, mental, and spiritual burdens in your life. This book is necessary for all those who are ready to take back control of their lives!” (DeVon Franklin, producer and New York Times best-selling author)
“In Shake Free Samuel Rodriguez explains that God’s way is not just the best way; it’s the only way. I believe that God has uniquely gifted him to be a voice to our world at this time. This book not only communicates God’s heart for you—it will change your life!” (Robert Morris, founding senior pastor of Gateway Church and best-selling author of The Blessed Life and The God I Never Knew)

This book was an easy listen! Very informative and I loved the metaphoric story behind the book. Paul overcame such adversity and still held true to his faith. We can all do the same as well!
I bought the hard copy of this book too so I can highlight it and take from the copious amounts of references!
