Synopsis

In one of the great paradoxes of the Christian faith, the more we surrender to God, the more free and untamed our lives become. Surrendered and Untamed, a cutting-edge, multimedia experience, calls followers of Christ to lay down their lives in order to pick up the wild and miraculous life God has planned for them. The DVD features the incredible adventures of Alex Harris, who has led more than 20 expeditions to some of the farthest corners of the planet. The youngest person to lead an expedition to Mt. Everest, Alex has climbed the highest mountains on all seven continents. He has devoted his life to not simply exploring the world but to telling everyone he meets about the awesome power of God and the wonders of his creation. Whether experienced in a group setting or individually, the combined impact of the DVD, book, and participant's guide will ignite the faith and stir the imagination of readers as it leads them to the presence of God and the promise of a Spirit-led life.
