Don't Quit in the Pit

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. [b:A Hope and a Future: Overcoming Discouragement|7030184|A Hope and a Future Overcoming Discouragement|Don Wilton|http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51E69R9Rk1L._SL75_.jpg|7278095] and [b:Lord, I Just Want to Be Happy|7040963|Lord, I Just Want to Be Happy|Leslie Vernick|http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51BHkphjAIL._SL75_.jpg|7290140] as well as this one [b:Don't Quit in the Pit|7188739|Don't Quit in the Pit|Danette Crawford|http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51AwPcGZ5kL._SL75_.jpg|7743922]. 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.
