Hang On, Let Go

What to Do When Your Dreams Are Shattered and Life Is Falling Apart

De: Frank Viola

Narrado por: Lance Smith

Best-selling author Frank Viola writes a time-tested field guide to weathering the storms of life.

Whether it's the loss of a job, a child who has gotten into serious trouble, a relationship that's in peril, or a loved one with a debilitating illness, at some point, something in our lives will strip us of all control. Life comes apart at the seams, and hope begins to evaporate.

Hang On, Let Go was written from the pit of numerous soul-piercing adversities in Frank's own life. In this volume, he draws from the insights he gleaned from the Lord, friends, and writers during his darkest days. The wisdom contained in this volume became the bread and butter Frank relied on, helping him to be developed by his trials rather than destroyed by them.

Each short chapter explores a different aspect of the storm: When You Need to Regrip, Walking in the Darkness, Abandoning Fix-It Mode, The Story in Our Head, Just Breathe, and much more. This book is about how to react to intense trials in your life with two seemingly contradictory impulses: hang on, let go.

How is that possible? Listen on. Frank explores the how and the why in this highly practical, incisive, no-nonsense guidebook on how to thrive during the inevitable pitfalls of life.

A must-read for anyone who's struggling.

Great practical and theological instruction and encouragement when you're devastated, in despair angry, and confused.

The book i’ve been looking for

I have loved all of Frank books. His experience in dealing with this subject shines through. He always points us to our only true Savior, Our Lord Jesus.

Just what I needed in my current storm

Excellent! Excellent! This book was like oxygen for me in my current storm. Read or listen to this book if you are suffering or if you know someone who is.

Right on Time

What I need it at the time that I’m going through. Being self-aware is so important to know how to let go but still hang on.

Really helped me in a dark time

There are quite a few chapters that are worth listening to daily to keep hope alive in the darkest of times.

Provides a path forward when stuck in the muck

The staccato pace of the trunticated chapters that jump from one expression of instruction to another was at first annoying. Sticking with it though was well worth it, I learned some positive ways to return my focus to scripture and most importantly to God.

Horrible Narrator, Author Not Forthcoming

The narrator sounds like he should be hosting a game show or some radio announcer or something. Good voice but HORRIBLE reading of this. He is talking about difficulties someone is facing with zero feeling or empathy. He's a radio robot.

And the author states several times that he's gone thru some extreme difficulty, but declines to say what it is. I'm 21 chapters in, but am not sure I can take much more of this. One of the most painful books in a long while.
