This book practically guides you through the 'stripping' process also known as sanctification. It is filled with God's word so you can confidently experience the good that comes from full surrender to God and His calling on your life. It is honest and straightforward as it walks you through when your dreams and His plans for you collide.

Saying yes to God is easy, right? After all, we want to be obedient. We want to fulfill God's calling and purpose for our lives. However, soon after we nod our heads in agreement, the process of transformation begins and we start questioning God's call thinking that after we have it all figured out, the Christian life should be easy. Once we find our calling and purpose, saying yes to God will mean our life will get easier. Yeah. Right.

Lina Abujamra, author of "Stripped", learned the hard way that God doesn't always work in the way we expect or in our timeframe. Sometimes He puts us through a time of testing and preparation. In her book, she imparts the knowledge she gained from God's process so that we can be better prepared when we say yes to God.

If you have said yes to God and are wondering what happens next, you will want to read "Stripped". If you have accepted God's call on your life and wondering why life didn't all of a sudden become magical, you will definitely want to read "Stripped". If you haven't found your purpose, or are in limbo about accepting God's call, you will probably want to read "Stripped".

The best part about "Stripped" is the way it is organized. The lists such as "What keeps you from hearing God's call" and how God strips us of pride are invaluable. There are lots of lists containing gems of wisdom. I appreciate that Abujamra didn't keep her experiences to herself so we can benefit from the things she learned as she walked in obedience. I'm glad she stepped out in faith to write a roadmap to accepting the challenge of God's call on our lives.
