Don't Quit in the Pit Book Signing Testimonies

 

Recently Pastor Danette and the Joy Ministries’ Team visited the Chesapeake Correction Center and distributed over 1,000 copies of her new book, Don’t Quit in the Pit to the inmates. She also ministered to the female occupants at the jail, encouraging them never to quit no matter what situation or circumstance they may be facing.

In the middle of her book tour, the Lord spoke to Pastor Danette and told her not to forget those in prison. She has since said, “This has been the highlight of my entire book tour!” The women had received their books before she began to minister to them and they were clutching them to their chest with tears in their eyes. It reminded her of how those in other countries cling to their Bibles as though they were worth a million dollars.

One thing we’ve learned over the years is that jails and prisons are full of backsliders. While Pastor Danette shared with the women the Lord gave her a Word that there, in the jail, was a pastor’s daughter (a “PK”) who had fallen away from God. He was calling her back to Him. Afterwards the chief warden over all the ladies came up and confirmed this Word and pointed out the one the Lord was speaking of. A few weeks later this same chief attended one of Pastor Danette’s book signings. She said “Wow! It’s like I’m dealing with a whole new set of women. These ladies have been transformed!”

Pastor Danette will be visiting other jails in the Hampton Roads area spreading hope and sharing the message of Don’t Quit in the Pit. We know that He will continue to move in a powerful way to change lives!

With the release of Pastor Danette Crawford’s new book Don’t Quit in the Pit many book signings across Hampton Roads and other parts of the country have been scheduled. People truly need the message and hope that Don’t Quit in the Pit shares. At a recent book signing a woman approached Pastor Danette to tell her that she had once walked closely with the Lord, but had back-slidden and fallen away from Him. She said, “When I found out that you had written a book called Don’t Quit in the Pit I said to myself, ‘that’s exactly where I am. I’m in a pit and I want to quit.’ I was suicidal. I decided to come here today as a last resort.” Pastor Danette prayed with her, broke off the spirit of suicide, and she gave her life back to the Lord! This is just one of many lives that are being transformed through the anointed message of this book!

C.W. wrote in after receiving her copy of Don't Quit in the Pit: "I received my copy of Don't Quit in the Pit and began to read it immediately. As I read, teh tears began to flow and the deep, deep hurts that had been pressed down for years began to work their way to the surface. The Lord has truly used this book to initiate healing in my life! While reading the book, the Lord spoke to me to buy 20 copies to give to the women at a local home for abused women and their children, for Mother's Day...

M.P wrote in after sending a copy of Don't Quit in the Pit to his niece: "...first let me say that I have been ministering to her for years and not really making any progress.... I gave her your book several weeks ago. She recently called and sounded so excited. She said: "I haven't been able to put the book down! There is such a reality in the way it is written - I'm so glad you thought to give me this book. I love the title and I love doing the study sessions at the end of each chapter. I really believe that this book has made the Bible relevant to her - It's never too late!"

I really enjoyed it - very powerful! I wrote a few notes out of it and sent it to my son, he enjoyed it also... I'm in a place now where I have no one to turn to, accept to God for help..."
