Top Highlights
“God creates circumstances that draw us near to Him so He can transform our lives; giving us hope rather than despair—love instead of resentment and bitterness—joy in place of depression—and peace as opposed to fear or anxiety.” (Page 14)
“There are different causes of anxiety and depression, but a primary one is the way we think.” (Page vii)
“became a prisoner of my mind. And the more I fought to be free—the more freedom I lost.” (Page ix)
“When anxiety was great within me, your consolation brought joy to my soul.’” (Page ix)
I was deeply moved. Seldom are truth and grace better entwined in a real life story. Rosenau's practical encouragement and insights form a wonderful resource for pastors and counselors who find themselves needing help as they stand in the gap of broken lives.
—Rev. Brad Strait, Senior Pastor, South Fellowship Church
Jeff's story of learning to trust God rather than himself in the midst of suffering is a wonderful example of what can happen when we hold onto Jesus Christ—even when we are tempted to let go. It is an important message whether we are depressed or not.
—Dr. David Osborn, Director, Doctor of Ministry Program, Denver Seminary
Transfer of Trust is really, really good! I love how Jeff weaves his story with biblical principles. It is a book of hope, vulnerability, and reliance on God.
