What They're Saying

Critics Review

“There are so many forces in our world today that rob us from reaching our full redemptive potential, and there are forces in our own hearts that keep us from stepping into the fullness of what God has for us. Yet few of us know how to name, confront, and overcome them. In this beautiful and heartfelt book, Annie does exactly that. With both wit and wisdom, she helps us step into the life God has for us—a life of meaning, depth, and joy.”—Jon Tyson, pastor and author

“Wise, tender, and unafraid of the hard parts, Annie hands you a little courage, a lot of truth, and a loud ‘Go get it!’ This is the book for anyone who’s been holding their breath.”—Kate Bowler, bestselling author of Joyful, Anyway, Duke University professor, and host of the Everything Happens podcast

“So many of us feel stuck, not because God has stopped moving, but because something has convinced us to stop trusting Him. In Don’t Let That Hold You Back, Annie F. Downs is like a trusted friend sitting across the table to help us identify what’s missing, what’s been lost, and what might be keeping us from the life God is inviting us into.”—Jonathan Pokluda, lead pastor of Harris Creek, bestselling author, and host of the Becoming Something podcast

“Annie is a good friend of mine and a voice I trust. When there are obstacles in our lives, we need to see them before we can understand them. Figuring out the return address of your biggest impediment is what Don’t Let That Hold You Back helps you do. Before you turn the last page of this book, you’ll already have stopped opening the junk mail in your life.”—Bob Goff, husband of Sweet Maria and four-time New York Times bestselling author
