I Quit: Stop Pretending Everything Is Fine and Change Your Life, by Geri Scazzero

Geri Scazzero, Peter Scazzero
Book
Connection With
God

Geri Scazzero was heavily involved in the thriving church her husband pastored — until she realized she had to quit attending it. This decision gave her - and her husband - new life. Pete Scazzero says, “The most loving thing Geri ever did for me was to quit the church I pastor. God used her courageous decision to change my life in profound ways.”

This book has given us the freedom to quit things that we needed to quit for the sake of our spiritual formation in Christ. It speaks about following Jesus and having the courage to quit whatever does not belong to his kingdom. Geri describes quitting, not as giving up in despair, but as choosing to let go of those things that are damaging to our souls, or to the souls of others. She encourages her readers to quit being afraid of what others think, quit pretending, quit dying to the wrong things, quit overfunctioning, and quit denying anger and fear. When we quit for the right reasons, quitting changes us. Further, anyone wanting to transform their own life and leadership can check out emotionallyhealthy.org, the online portal that has flowed out of the Scazzeros’ journey of discovery.
