Comment by Jerry Pitts on June 6, 2011 at 10:52am

Hi friends. My name is Jerry Pitts and I recently completed my first book titled, Reflections: My Personal Journey. The book is essentally my life's testimony and the amazing works God has done in and through my life. The book is filled with deep, personal events from my life from my early years of overcoming drugs to the dealing with my youngest sons death in 2009. It is my prayer that this book will demonstrate the faithfulness of our Lord as He has been my refuge and strength, my everpresent help in times of trouble. Psalm 46:1

 

For anyone who would like to read the book for free or order a physical copy online from my publisher's site you can visit http://www.springsofpraise.com/ReflectionsMyPersonalJourney.html

 

Feedback is much appreciated.

 

Here are just a few of the reviews:

 

An emotional, and at times, heartbreaking testimony of a life redeemed, a life changed, a life given a purpose – the kind of purpose that can only come from a personal relationship with God.
– Sharee Brewer

 

An inspiring testimony to the works of God in the lives of those who thirst and hunger for the love of God!
– Amanda McLelland-Harpole

 

I started reading and could not stop until I had read every word. It was an encouragement to me because I could see the faithfulness of God at work in Jerry’s life and believe this book will be a blessing to many.
– James Larry Mitchell, Planted Seeds Ministry

 

Right now I really can’t fully express what I feel after reading this book – I could not stop reading it once I started. It amazed me how willing Jerry was to be completely honest about his life – there was no sugar coating his words.
– Beverly Sermons Boyd

 

Thank you so much for writing Reflections. It not only ministered to me as I have no doubts that it will minister to everyone who gets their hands on it. I will most certainly be encouraging everyone I know to get a copy of it. They won’t be able to put it down until they have completely finished it.
– Judy Dickson, Uniquely His Ministries

A must read book, The Treasures Of Darkness by Carol Lee Anderson will keep you coming back for more as this mysterious novel unfolds.

With characters that will move the imagination, the author has masterfully woven the pages of this book together to captivate the soul. Expect to become fully engaged as the sinister plots unfolds and darkness attempts to prevail.

Cryptic messages, the mysterious words found in a diary, the mythical stranger, the powerful dragon god and the plot to overthrow the kingdom of Bellicosa are only but a few glimpses into this wonderful novel filled with mystery and imagination.

Framed from Psalm 107, the author sets a powerful backdrop from which an adventure story of intrigue, betrayal, and slavery prevail in the darkness, but yet there is a deliverer, the One who sets the captives free, that delivers men from their manifold troubles and fills the hungry soul with what is good. A triumphant novel filled with overcoming adversity in the midst of great trials.

Come and follow young Julen taken from her home as only a innocent child, only to be brought and sold into slavery with no hope of redemption, until she meets the mysterious One who is her deliverer, who has the power to break her bonds apart and set her high upon the rock and hidden from her enemies.

Set sail with young Damon and rebellious Jip. Follow Bina and Julen through the treacherous desert as they look for refuge in such a wasteland. Enlightening and captivating is this book, a must read and page-turner.

A captivating story of redemption and triumphant rescue. We are all treasures hidden in the darkness waiting for the One to rescue, come and be filled with hope. A wonderful and delightful novel.

Are YOU for sale or for rent? That is a question that you should be asking yourself if you are single. Are you ready to pursue a life that is pleasing to God and take the proper steps to find your lifetime mate? Or are you just looking to have a good time and hope that everything turns out alright? In this book, the author addresses these urgent issues and explains why one works and why the other does not. This is a timely and well-written book for our youth and singles of today! Parents, heads up, you might want to read this one as well!

In his book, Author Milton K. Smith, concisely and firmly addresses the delicate subject of relationships and Christian dating in a simple and understandable way. Drawing a parallel between tabernacle, in ancient Jewish times, and the human spirit, the author sets forth a standard that is undeniable and biblically based. This is an urgent subject that needs to be more readily addressed in our youth and within our culture, as the morals have declined into the thinking that casual dating and casual mannerisms are acceptable. Not so, in this intriguing book, the author sets forth a firm foundation for what it means to be holy in relationships and to live a life acceptable to God.

This thought provoking book touches the readers’s very soul in causing one to reassess their own views when it comes to dating. Through an educating tone, like a father to a son or daughter, the author, brilliantly and eloquently poses the right questions to ask one self when considering a mate. Explaining step by step what it means to be a person with a body, soul and spirit, the author, puts in layman’s terms what it means to be filled with the Spirit of God and that the attributes to be looking for in a mate might not be what you think. As the author explains, it is of high importance to address the spiritual, as well as the physical, causing the reader to gauge the relationships that are being considered.

Setting a firm biblical perspective and foundation for an acceptable, in order relationship, the author goes on to describe the process of a healthy progression of a relationship, once a mate has been chosen. Using the example of a house and the various rooms, the author, exemplifies what exactly you should look for in a mate and how to proceed. By highlighting what is truly important, the author gives the reader the correct biblical standpoint for choosing a mate. If only our youths were taught this from the beginning there would be much less confusion and heartache!

A highly recommend book and quick read, this book can be used as a ministering tool to youths, singles and parents, alike, no matter what the age. In today’s world, this is an urgent issue that the author has addressed in a non-offensive manner, yet is biblically sound. Thank you Milton for writing this informative and much needed book!

10.0 stars on a scale of 10 stars

A movie in the making, "God’s Avenger Michael, The Imprecatory Angel" written by Daniel John Gura is a exciting, gripping and fascinating read. This pro-life Christian fiction novel will touch your heart and cause you to ponder one of today's most controversial and profound issues - the lives of the unborn. A fiction novel that is interwoven with life, truth and realities of monumental proportion.
The author's writing style will keep you hanging on the edge of your seat coupled with an expectancy of what the next page, character or chapter will bring. There are no idle sections to be found in this book which flows from one page to the next. You will not be able to put the book down as each situation unfolds and the next is birthed. The book is captivating and engaging as the author portrays the righteousness of God being inflicted upon the evil and wickedness of mankind through this Imprecatory Angel, Michael.

Each character comes to life in this fast paced novel as the author describes each scene with real intensity and real-life drama. As each situation unfolds, the book reads like an action movie on paper. The author makes you feel as if you are right there with the characters as they try to unravel the unfolding mysteries of the disasters happening around them. From rumors to hypotheticals, something is unfolding beyond the natural with the supernatural taking the forefront.

Just as Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego were spared in Old Testament times with all unharmed 'without even the smell of smoke' on their clothing or a scratch on their persons. Just like the plagues of Moses that were unleashed on Egypt in biblical times, this book has supernatural, righteous judgement and justice woven all through the mesmerizing pages, all the while bringing praise and glory to God.

This is a timely and important piece of work addressing one of today's most controversial issues - saving the lives of the unborn. After reading this book, one must come to the conclusion of considering the life of the unborn to be to monumental to just sit down and remain silent. This pro-life novel reveals God's justice that is magnificent in scope, supernatural in nature and just as evil was destroyed back in Old Testament times, the author reveals, God still hears the imprecatory prayers of his Saints and answers prayers with a righteous cause. Good triumphs over evil in this magnificently written novel, while lives are forever changed in the process.

A highly recommended book not just because of the cause, but because it is superbly written from the opening page to the closing page. As was stated in the opening sentence of this review, "God's Avenger Michael, The Imprecatory Angel" is a movie in the making.

The time that all religions expect is now unfolding. Unfortunately for religious leaders, their lies are now also exposed by final proof of the truth. I am the Messiah and my name never was Jesus.

Title: The Price

Review Date: January 14th, 2011

9.5 stars on a scale of 10.0 stars


“The Price” is one of the most unique books that I have ever read. The book is a well-written one-act play that includes the dialogue of a handful of everyday characters. The setting is hell. The cast is Satan himself, an arrogant millionaire and a few other individuals that you might even know. All have been sent to hell for their differing sins and therefore, paid “The Price” of admission so to speak. The dialogue between Satan, the Millionaire and the inhabitants of hell will keep you thoroughly entertained, but will also keep you on the edge of your seat, to say the very least.

Author Leon Newton, in his play, “The Price” displays a thought provoking dialogue between the characters, which not only reveals the love, compassion and mercy of God, therefore bringing others to Christ through salvation, but also encourages one to consider their own salvation and walk with God.

Shedding light upon the darkness of mankind’s heart, the author continues the dialogue between the characters that will touch the heart and life of a person who wants real answers to real questions. Is there really a God? Who is He? What is the purpose of salvation and the forgiveness of sins? What does it mean to ask for forgiveness? What is repentance? What is the grace of God? How can we really know there is a God? All these questions are so masterfully answered throughout the play. This book is a delight to read.

This book is also a very powerful ministry tool, bringing conviction upon the reader, thereby having the potential of bringing many to Christ. The book ingeniously takes a look at the world in which we live in and the sins that so easily entangle us. Based upon a sound scriptural backdrop, God’s mercy, grace and love shine through and give glory to God while revealing the vital importance of a close walk with God and the grave consequences for not accepting Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. The book explains throughout the dialogue, why there is a need for salvation and the forgiveness of sins and is crucial to all walks of life.

This work is a must read and a must share book. The play is perfect for youth groups and churches to perform. I encourage you to pick up a copy and read it for yourself. It will leave an indelible imprint on your soul and make you realize what exactly Christ has done by His finished work on the cross. May the salvation of God and the love of God never be taken for granted.

The Price belongs on the shelves of every bookstore, in churches everywhere and within the home of every believer seeking to share the love and redeeming passion of Christ with others.
