Product Description

Beth Moore wants readers to know if God could lift her out of the pit, He can get ANYONE out! She admits she wasn't just a visitor; this former pit-dweller had to be delivered from acres of life-accumulated dirt, bone-chilling darkness, spirit-deadening anger, heart-breaking desperation and mind-numbing confusion. The permanent lessons she learned in her desperation-shared in this very personal book-are lessons of hope for all of us. While she deeply empathizes with the hows and whys of life in the "pit," she continually points readers to the deliverance that awaits. Deliverance is for everyone, she proclaims-no matter how you got stuck, no matter how long you've been down, whether you think you deserve it or not. And in her straight-talking but loving style, she reminds readers that deliverance can begin for them this very day.

5.0 out of 5 stars Finally -- the deliverance you've prayed your whole life for!, January 8, 2007

By	HollyLooya! "JOHN 10:10" (Illinois) - See all my reviews

Until I read this book, even though I'm a Christian, there were many strongholds in my life -- some, long-established areas of bondage -- that I was convinced were inescapable. I decided there were just some things I'd never be able to accomplish, faith or no faith. I felt defeated in a variety of areas.

Beth Moore has provided the way out using Scripture. This is not HER formula; this is God's formula. Every aspect of the deliverance process has its corresponding reference in Old and New Testament Scripture. Beth just does us the favor of putting it all together for us.

How did she know how to do it?

She's been there. This book is written by a woman who has been in the pit -- repeated times -- and has found, through Christ, LASTING deliverance.

If I had unlimited money, this would be the ONE book I would buy for every person I care about. It may well be THE most useful Christian book I have ever read and ever will read (outside the Bible itself). If you let Him, Jesus will deliver you and transform your life through this book.

God bless you!
Holly

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Bible teacher!, February 5, 2007

By	Coleen Forward "cforward4" (LA, CA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Beth Moore's "Breaking Free" was a catalyst God used in my life to rid me of life-long depression. I'd thought it was my thorn for life. "Get Out of that Pit" further solidifies her magnificent Bible teaching. I highly recommend all Beth's work!

HOPE, DELIVERANCE & COMPLETE FREEDOM!, January 4, 2007
Reviewer: [e-mail] "Author/Ministry Leader" (Myrtle Beach, SC) - See all my reviews

Wow, it doesn't get much better than this! I think this is my favorite book that she has ever written! I couldn't put this down. Living in the fallen world we do- I would dare say this is a must read for every Christian!
She tells it like it is with no beating around the bush!
This book is filled with excellent Scripture references throughout, but is based on Psalm 40 (NIV):
I waited patiently for the Lord
He turned to me and heard my cry
He lifted me out of the slimy pit
He set my feet on a rock
He put a new song in my mouth.

PLEASE NOTICE WE WAIT-
HE TURNS, HE HEARS, HE LIFTS, HE SETS, HE PUTS!
For those who have been waiting patiently, and impatiently to climb out of your pit-WAIT NO LONGER! Or maybe the problem is we try every other human way, and keep sliding back in!
So, now Your inspiration to do it God's Way is here! You will feel the very Hand of God using Beth to lower that rope that you've been waiting for, to lift you out of the muck and mire.
Allow the Holy Spirit to enlighten the eyes of your heart as you read this and you will begin to experience deliverance! This is God's will for every child of God-SALVATION & DELIVERANCE!
She explains in detail:
1-life in the pit (sometimes we know we're there, other times we have been there so long we're at home there!)
2-when you're thrown into the pit (sometimes it really is someone elses fault you're there?? but not that you stay!)
3-when you slip in the pit (ooops!)
4-when you jump into the pit (yes, we've all done it against our better senses and pretended we didn't hear the Holy Spirit screaming!)
THEN THE GREAT NEWS:
5-getting out of your pit (no matter how you got there-there is AN EXIT SIGN!)
6-the three steps out of your pit!(here, God said-how many times have I told you? but sometimes it just takes a bit of advise from another blonde whose been there to remind you!)
7-waiting on God for Deliverance (I saw you cringe! maybe I'll use another word-redeeming the time, does that sound better than wait? Actually I've found that waiting on God is a priveledge and time of building the faith that He finds more desirable for us than Gold!)
8-make up your mind (you can't mess with a woman who has FINALLY MADE UP HER MIND-not even the devil!)
9-singing a new song--a the melody of the LORD's songs of deliverance, no sweeter tune, other than the praises we can sing because of them!
10-our pitless future!!! (NO, WE DON'T HAVE TO GO BACK!) When Christ sets us FREE>>WE ARE FREE INDEED!
TIME TO MAKE "MY SPACE" GOD'S SPACE!
As LONG AS YOU PUT YOUR HOPE IN GOD, not a program, but in God-which is where Beth always points-you're on Your WAY to FREEDOM!
AND Don't forget the Scripture prayers in the back-probably one of, if not the most important part of the book! (don't cheat though)-you need to believe to receive; and Beth's inspiring stories, personal testimony and encouragement throught out the book will give the Holy Spirit plenty to work with to build your FAITH so you will stick with using the Scripture prayers and your personal discovery guide in the back of the book!
