I have been a fan of
Beth Moore for a few years, having participated in two of her Bible studies at our church. God has definitely done some amazing things in and through her life. I am convicted, challenged, and encouraged when I read her works.
Get Out of That Pit is based upon Psalm 40 and was such a blessing for me. One of my favorite lines in this book is:
"In Him, you have the full rights of sonship or daughtership, including the right to live wildly in victory."
I have a tendency to take myself down into a pit of self-defeat. I know my sins and how wretched a human I can be. God has been working on this, but it's still a struggle for me. I am my own worst enemy. But that's not where He wants me to live. He has already won the battle. He already offers me freedom and victory. In her book, Beth illustrates the ways in which we end out in the pit, how to get out, and how to stay out. This will be one of those books I read again and again, I have no doubt.

This is the kind of book that turns into a reference book after a while. I've read it, been so blessed by it, and then picked it up for a particular chapter on something I'm struggling with. I love this book!
I love those books that you can turn to again and again and have God's truth reinforced. The Christian's Secret of a Happy Life by Hannah Whithall Smith is another one for me.
We are doing a study on this book come September. I am looking forward to it!!
