Borrowed

What if nothing in your life actually belongs to you?

In Borrowed, Luciana Farias dismantles the assumption of ownership that quietly shapes how we live, love, parent, grieve, and pursue faith. Drawing directly from Scripture and personal transformation, this devotional-style Christian book argues a single premise: your life, your relationships, your body, your time, and even your breath are not yours. They are entrusted to you by God.

Written for believers at any stage of faith, Borrowed walks readers through the tension of free will and surrender, loss and trust, pruning and renewal. Each chapter grounds spiritual concepts in biblical passages while translating them into lived experience: parenting as stewardship, relationships as seasons, suffering as refinement, obedience as protection, faith as daily discipline rather than emotion.

This is not theology for debate. It is theology for practice.

Inside, readers will explore:
• Why God allows loss, pruning, and waiting
• How faith functions when clarity is withheld
• The difference between control and stewardship
• Forgiveness as obedience, not feeling
• Why restoration often requires breaking first
• How to live decisively when everything is temporary

Borrowed speaks directly to those wrestling with uncertainty, grief, spiritual fatigue, or the quiet fear of surrender. It offers clarity without platitudes and conviction without condemnation.

If you have ever asked why God takes, delays, prunes, or remains silent, this book reframes the question entirely.

Nothing was taken. It was never owned.
