Know, Trust, Abandon is a reflective and deeply personal exploration of life’s most enduring questions—why we exist, what it means to be human, and whether there is more beyond the physical world. Gerald Mackrell weaves together faith, scripture, and thoughtful inquiry to examine the relationship between humanity and a loving Creator. The book challenges readers to look beyond scientific explanations of how life came to be and to confront the deeper spiritual question of why.

At the heart of the book is the belief that human beings are both physical and spiritual, gifted with free will and the responsibility that comes with it. Mackrell traces humanity’s spiritual journey through creation, temptation, redemption, and grace, emphasizing the central role of Jesus Christ in overcoming sin and death. Through clear language and relatable reflection, the book explains how knowing God leads naturally to trusting Him, even amid suffering, doubt, and a troubled world.

The final movement of the book invites readers to go beyond belief and into surrender. To “abandon” oneself to God’s will, Mackrell suggests, is not weakness but transformation—an act of love that brings peace, purpose, and spiritual renewal. Written for seekers, believers, and anyone wrestling with faith, Know, Trust, Abandon is not merely a theological work, but an invitation to live with deeper meaning, compassion, and hope.
