Done with That: Escape the Struggle of Your Old Life
Ebooks are designed for reading and have few connections to your library.
The Bible says the old life is gone and the new life has
come (see 2 Cor. 5:17). But we still sin; still get angry,
arrogant, and greedy. Sin destroys everything in its path, yet it’s
also kind of fun and quite compelling. It often has us holding on
to parts of the old life instead of embracing the new life we’ve
been promised.
In Done with That, Pastor Bob Merritt exposes the inner battle we all fight with sin. He exposes the cycle of failure and loss and shows readers that no matter how many setbacks they’ve experienced, there is a way to enjoy a new and better life in Christ.

Notes 219
“In Done with That, Bob Merritt shows that less means
more. Less regret means more joy. Less loneliness means more
belonging. Less angst means more contentment. Bob’s hard-fought
battle will help you win yours.”
“Freedom in Christ is one of the most powerful gifts of the
gospel. But knowledge of that freedom and walking in that freedom
are two different things. This book moves us from knowledge to
action, with practical application for every person who is truly
ready to move. Thank you, Bob, for living that out in your own life
and showing us the way for ourselves.”
“How do you stop putting up with what you know you need to be
done with? Bob Merritt has written an open, honest personal account
about moving forward with God.”
“People talk a lot about change these days, but here’s
the truth. No one ever really changes until it gets too painful to
stay where they are. In other words, they have to get sick and
tired of being sick and tired! If that’s where you are, then Pastor
Bob Merritt’s Done with That is absolutely the book for you.
It’s a great prescription for turning your life around and reviving
your walk with God.”
