Power to Change Your Life! Have you ever been in the destructive “pits” of life—abuse, rejection, divorce, or financial hardship? Danette Crawford has been there and knows exactly how painful these situations can be—and how God can turn any situation around. With great empathy, candor, and scriptural teaching, she shares how you, too, God did it for Danette. He will do it for you, too!
Honestly by the cover, I never would have picked up this book. As a FIRST Assistant Director, I get a copy of almost all our books for tour and of course do not have time to read all of them, but I am trying to at least skim most of them to get a partial opinion out there. As I set out some of my books that are scheduled from various tours and publicists to read this week I noticed a theme. A Hope and a Future: Overcoming Discouragement and Lord, I Just Want to Be Happy as well as this one Don't Quit in the Pit. You'd think with the recurring theme that God is trying to tell me something. The first of the books that I tackled was this one. The plan was to skim, but I was brought in and read most all of it and way more than I anticipated.
Danette Crawford has a powerful faith and plenty of advice on how to find a similar one of your own. Life is rough and has pits and pot holes and it is up to us as believers in Christ to follow his lead and truly trust in his timing and not our own. This book has given me a lot to chew upon and goals to grow. So many aspects of life and hardships are touched on and I really believe that her heart is in the right place. True not all chapters or sections rather relate to my life, but for those that do they are right on key. Many times I read a non fiction and finish it with a thought of "that's nice" and go on with my day or my life. This one makes me ponder and reach for my Bible. I recommend it for anyone at any point in their life.
This book was one of the best reads for inspiration and to get out the pit. Danette shares her own experiences, which in some areas, was even hard for me to believe as a Christian. I was cheering God on for what he could do for her with zero-debt and zero income, where God provided when she was being obedient. I need this power of God too!
I took two pages of notes and will review some of the key points on my first Midnight Hour Show, Friday, July 23rd at 11/12am EST.
