Book Review: From Crack Addict to Pastor by Karen Sills

Karen Sills was very revealing and honest in this poignant testimonial. Mrs. Sills make no excuses for her mistakes, rather implores the reader to seek God, turning away from the devil. The book is layered with scriptures in every chapter as the author lays it out respectfully and straight forward. To God is the glory! Mrs. Sills was delivered from crack, prostitution, lesbianism, and more. It was not an easy road, nor does the author make excuses for her mistakes. More testimonies such as hers need to be told so that it will encourage others who may think there is no hope. There is hope in God, Jesus is the answer.

From Crack Addict to Pastor was a fast read that will keep the audience engaged until the very last page. I recommend it to those who are struggling with sins of the flesh and bouts of spiritual adultery. Mrs. Sills explains the error of her ways while showing how important it is to have Christ in your life. Although I was unable to contact the author for an interview, I pray that she continues to seek God in all her ways as she press forward to teach others. Although her delay in committing her all to God was disappointing, the book was uplifting and will have you saying, "If she went through all of that and came out on top ... so can I."

Karen Sills’ book was originally published in 2005. Her current ministry (and its location) is unknown.
