Summary: In this powerfully inspirational book, New York Times bestselling author, podcast host, and beloved speaker Annie F. Downs challenges you to step into your new life by finally doing the thing you can’t stop thinking about.

“Wise, tender, and unafraid of the hard parts, Annie hands you a little courage, a lot of truth, and a loud, ‘Go get it!’”—Kate Bowler, bestselling author of Joyful, Anyway, Duke professor, and host of the Everything Happens podcast

What if the only thing standing between you and the life you really want is the story you keep telling yourself about why you can’t have it?

With her signature blend of warmth, honesty, and soul-deep, God-focused truth, Annie F. Downs invites you to stop waiting for “someday” and start living the life that’s been tugging at your heart all along. Don’t Let That Hold You Back is a bold, honest wake-up call for everyone who has ever said, “I’ll do it when…” and then watched the calendar flip by. Whether you’re hindered by fear, finances, age, doubt, burnout, or a life that looks nothing like you imagined, it’s time to stop waiting for perfect conditions and start living on purpose.

Here is your invitation to listen to your gut, confer with God, take the risk, and go after what you want—even if it scares you, even if you stumble, even if it doesn’t make sense to anyone else. Try. Fail. Win. Go. Stay. Love. Leave.

Through Don’t Let That Hold You Back, you’ll

discover the pieces of your life that have kept you stuck
overcome the fear of taking steps toward the thing you really want
understand that the rewards outweigh the risks when it comes to transformation

No more “Maybe later” or “Maybe never” or “I wish I could.” It’s time to reclaim the things that have stolen your courage, trust God with your next step, and finally do the thing you’ve always wanted to do. God has something for you to do on this planet, partnered with Him, that only you can do.

Reviews:

“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
