Publisher Description
What if you promised God you would do anything . . . and he took you up on it? Anything is a prayer of surrender that will move you to stop chasing happiness and start living a surrendered life that matters.
If you’ve ever felt lonely, lost, or like there must be more to life than constantly keeping up with the Joneses, then this book is for you. Previously caught in the dizzying haze of worldly happiness and empty pursuits, Jennie had had enough. She and her husband Zac prayed a courageous prayer of surrender: "God, we will do anything. Anything." They went on to begin living out the adventure God had written for them.
This revised edition is updated throughout to include a new introduction and an in-depth Bible study component for those who have been wanting to lead a study on this topic. Join Jennie on an adventure to discover your anything, including:
- Factors that inhibit us from living a life of surrender to God
- What praying "Anything" really means
- What your life might look like having prayed it
Jennie Allen shares the biblical truth that our lives are not meant to be safe and comfortable, but radical and profound. Discover how little worldly pursuits mean until you know the God who’s truly worth giving up everything for. And when you do. . . everything will change.
Anything is also available in Spanish, Lo que me pidas.

"I think the concept of the book was great! It's a wonderful reminder that when we give it all to God and have Him use us in anyway that He wants we grow so much closer to Him. I recommend reading this if you need that push/testimony to give God your all. It's a tad bit repetitive but still worth the read."

" I gave it the 4th star for the message. While it took me a while to get into the book, once I got going there was much to appreciate in what the author shares and how she challenges us to consider what we're willing to do for The Lord: Anything? "
— Lisa, 2/3/2014 -
" I absolutely loved this book!!! It was entertaining, challenging, and inspiring...and not over-the-top. It asks us to be willing to do anything for God, to live for His glory. And it acknowledges that this looks different for different people. Loved it! Highly recommend it! "
— Anna, 2/2/2014 -
" What a wonderful message. I could see myself so easily in the words on the pages. It would be impossible to say I was not affected. Quite simply, I enjoyed this book. "
— Kim, 1/27/2014 -
" Highly, highly recommend this book. So challenging and encouraging. Got it thru the library but ended up purchasing my own copy so I can highlight, re-read, and loan out! "

— Donna, 1/14/2014 -
" Read it! Just read it. "

" This book was so timely for me. It's like it was written for me in this very moment I'm in. Loved every second of it! "
— Breanna, 12/15/2013 -
" This book was absolutely life changing!! Jennie Allen writes like she is an old friend, sitting down to coffee, and puts in writing all the jumbled thoughts I have in my head. I have purchased several copies, and plan to give them to all of my friends. "
— Sarah, 11/30/2013 -
" Hugely convicting! But also very readable and down to earth! "
— Emily, 10/29/2013 -
" This book was good. I give it 3 stars. I particularly enjoyed the first part, but felt part two was a bit slow. My favorite Chapter was "War on" toward the end of the book. "
— Beth, 10/21/2013 -
" Amazingly hard to put this book down. Fiction books are great escapes but sometimes I need to be brought back to what is real in life. Jennie Allen made me think, examine my life, and look at reality. "
— Gloria, 10/9/2013 -
" Finished the bulk of this book in a day. Astonishing example of how God can work through a person who gives up self and just says "anything." "
— Carolyn, 10/7/2013 -
" This is one of those books that you underline and highlight something in each chapter. One of those books that scares you a bit, but gives you an eternal perspective. "
— Sabra, 9/14/2013 -
" Excellent insight into the question of would we be willing to do anything for God? Gave me lots to think about. "
— Linda, 8/4/2013 -
" Personal story about God's work in Jennie's life through her abandonment to God in several key areas, such as adoption. Each chapter is a mix of personal reflection and devotional, perhaps wish she had separated the two but overall a good read. "
— Julia, 6/30/2013 -
" Incredible, thought-provoking book! "
— Shari, 6/23/2013 -
" This is a book that really makes you think and question your life and want to seek God more. "
— Teesha, 10/9/2012 -
" Great book, very challenging and thought provoking. What if we really lived for our future in heaven? And, are we willing to say to God, I will do anything? "
— Joy, 7/25/2012 -
" I absolutely loved this book. Her analogy of us being on a cruise ship sinking while the captain in yelling "abandon ship", spoke SO MUCH to me! Thank God He is waking me up! "
— Jessica, 6/22/2012 -
" Absolutely a great book. Shows what a life of letting go is really like. "
