Get Out Of That Pit

Straight Talk About God’s Deliverance
by
Beth Moore

This is a book about being delivered from the pits one might find oneself in throughout life and how you can be delivered from these pits. Beth points that there are three types of pits that could be encountered. The first type of Pit is the one that you are thrown in; someone else is at fault or circumstances beyond your control. The second pit is the one you slip into; you’re in this pit and you didn’t see it coming. The third pit is the one you jump right into it; you see it and you know you shouldn’t do it but you use poor judgement and decide to go right for it.

She shares that there is a choice whether or not to stay in any of these pits or not.  Pit dwelling is a state of mind! There are three steps to getting out of the pit: Cry out, Confess, and Consent. You must use these three steps by going to God for your deliverance.  

It’s about building a relationship with Him and making up in your mind to allow Him to help you.

You must wait for your deliverance to occur and it will probably not be instantaneously.  Once you’re freed from the pit you’re in you can remain free with effort and dependence upon God’s help.

Beth used many illustrations through Bible scriptures, stories and experiences to deliver her message of deliverance.  Some were funny and others quite serious.  It is a very thorough book on a timely topic.

This book was given to me by the publisher for my honest opinion.
