Confessions of a Control Freak

“The desire to be in control is deeply imbedded in the human nature. The evidence can be seen in tyrant world leaders, crafty politicians, sly business people, and even the church secretary. But for a person to be a true representative of Christ, our human urge to control must be surrendered. Confessions of a Control Freak is a guide to move from needing to control the world around you to joyfully surrendering control to the God of the universe. If you are serious about your testimony for the Lord, make this book a part of your growing experience. Not only will it enhance your testimony, but also your joy and freedom in living for Christ.”
—Simon Schrock, president, Choice Books of Northern Virginia

“It is difficult to live with a ‘control freak.’ It is even more difficult to be one. In her honest, poignant, and often humorous confessions, Priscilla Morrison leads the way to true inner peace that offers hope for recovering control freak and a blessing to those who are called to love them.”
—Bob Allums, director, A Praying Life Ministries and seeJesus Ministries

“Confessions of a Control Freak is a delightful read full of practical advice from a woman who knows her subject well. The personal illustrations are humorous and fun to read, and the faith-based advice Priscilla gives is very practical. This is a great book for every control freak who has come to the realization that control is just an illusion, and who wants to learn how to trust God and enjoy people.”
—Beth Moorhead, Counseling Ministries, Wayzata Free Church

“Priscilla Morrison has written a wonderfully honest, insightful, and practical book on the epidemic of trying (with good intent) to obsessively control our lives and the lives of those around us. She confronts the personal, social, and spiritual dynamics of wanting to be the creator rather than the created. Confessions of a Control Freak is a valuable resource for identifying some of our unhealthy compulsions and then living life with greater freedom and delight.”
—Robert A. Fryling, author of The Leadership Ellipse: Shaping How We Lead by Who We Are

“Priscilla Morrison writes honestly about the destructive pattern of control in her relationship to her husband and children. She writes compellingly of how God used His Word, prayer, family and friends to uncover and ultimately bring sanity and healing in her life. It is a truly helpful guide for those who see this same pattern and want guidance on how to change.”
—Rose Marie Miller, author of From Fear to Freedom

“Confessions of a Control Freak touched my heart and awakened in me a new desire to let go and allow God to do His work in His way. It is often so hard, but Priscilla in her humorous and gentle way prods us to take our hands off the wheel of life and allow the Lord to guide and direct us and others around us. Her writing is clear and precise and is packed with Holy Spirit power that can bring change and hope for a new way forward.”
