Publisher's Description
“The world promises
recognition and promotion if we "hustle harder," but at what cost?
Join
the counter-cultural movement of choosing surrender over striving.
Throughout scripture,
we encounter individuals who had to face the hard reality that their dreams and
time lines weren't God's best plan. By exploring these biblical narratives
alongside her own personal stories of radical obedience, author Malinda Fuller
encourages readers to respond to the questions God asks each of us: "Will
you trust Me? . . . Will you do what I'm asking you to do?”
Fuller's challenge to all of us is to yield to God's voice—no matter where He leads or what He asks, whether it's complicated or straightforward, accepted by others or challenging to understand, and regardless of how it makes us feel (even if it appears foolish). May we have the courage to surrender to His plan and His timing—to choose obedience over hustle.”

My Review
Obedience Over Hustle: The Surrender of the Striving
Heart, by Malinda Fuller, is a profoundly thoughtful book abounding with wisdom
and truth. It gently whispers encouragement for those who desire to honor God
through their choices, actions, desires, and dreams. Through well-written,
focused chapters, it reveals how obedience to God is not only a good thing; it
is truly the best thing.
With authentic vulnerability, Ms. Fuller shares her insights,
practical thoughts, and compelling questions that give the reader the
opportunity to pursue personal reflection and soul-searching growth. Filled
with grace and hope, this book is inspiring, refreshing, engaging, and very helpful.
Obedience Over Hustle is heart-felt and sincere. It
is grounded in a love for the life-giving truth of God’s Word and his unconditional
love for all people. It is memorable, practical, and wholly uplifting. I plan
to re-read this book often, and recommend it to others whenever I have the
opportunity.

bold communicator with a passion to see people grow in their faith, and for
couples and families to thrive rather than survive. Her writing has been

Malinda and her husband, Alex, love serving the church in both local and global ways. Malinda is a homeschooling mom to two spirited girls, and her family is always up for an adventure. When she's not wearing the teacher hat at home, or typing furiously on her laptop, Malinda is probably hanging outside with her family (by the water or in the mountains preferably), sipping coffee with a friend, or hunting for treasures in a local used bookstore." --biography from Malinda Fuller's author page in Amazon.com
