Description

From a teenage girl sitting in the backseat of her mother’s car with pink hair rollers and a chance glance at a boy leaning against a cola case at his father’s gas station, Ginger Sanders had no idea how profoundly God would lead and direct her life. She only knew she had a horse named Penny, a future she couldn’t see, and a growing sense that Someone was holding the map.

Let Go and Don’t Worry About It is a memoir of a lifetime spent learning to surrender. Through the death of her mother, the uncertainty of military deployment, the heartbreak of infertility, the miracle of international adoption from South Korea, the surprise of an unexpected pregnancy, the diagnosis of lupus, and a cross-country journey of following God’s call from Alabama to Chicago to Virginia to Kentucky and back again, Ginger and her husband Denny kept arriving at the same place: on their knees, surrendering their worries, and watching God provide.

Along the way, they became something they never expected: chaplains with the Billy Graham Rapid Response Team, deployed to the front lines of national tragedies – Sandy Hook, Aurora, the Colorado wildfires, Hurricane Sandy, the Haiti earthquake. They stood in the wreckage of schools, hospitals, and homes, offering the peace of Christ to people in the darkest moments of their lives. They witnessed things that defy human explanation: angelic encounters in hospital rooms and accident scenes, provision that arrived to the exact dollar of a need, and divine timing so precise it would take more faith to call it coincidence than to call it God.

This book is not a theological argument. It is a collection of breadcrumbs-true stories that show you what it looks like when someone actually lets go of the wheel and trusts the One who is driving. Each chapter is grounded in Scripture and woven with the quiet refrain that became the Sanders family motto through decades of crisis and calm: Let go, and don’t worry about it.

Includes a comprehensive Discussion Guide with reflection questions for each chapter, suitable for personal journaling or group study. Whether you are carrying worry about your children, your health, your future, or the state of the world, Ginger’s stories will meet you where you are and invite you to exchange the burden of anxiety for the abundance of His grace.
