Testimonials
5.0 out of 5 stars: I can attest to the fact that Debra Elrod is the real deal! I'm the Christian business owner mentioned in this book who lent Debra $10,000 just before she disappeared for many years. She came to my office unannounced years later and handed me $ 10,000 in cash along with a very generous amount of interest as well. I sensed very strongly a "Greatness" in Debra from the first day I met her & I told her so. I have never said that to anyone else. I could sense a strong calling and anointing on her and she was full of wisdom. I was impressed with Debra from the first time I met her. There was a still small voice down deep inside me whispering 'There is greatness in her. She is an amazing person.' That voice turned out to be right on. What I see in Debra now is a desperation for God in every area of her life and God honors her for that. Her heart is very pliable and sensitive to the supernatural ways of God and this book amplifies that. Debra is always listening for His voice and boldly standing up for what is right and obeying the voice of God, no matter the cost! Basically she loves and fears (respects) God above all others.
