PIT CREW: HOW TO SURVIVE A SPIRITUAL PIT STOP<\/i><\/strong>, is both author Renair Amin\u2019s testimony and a gift to anyone struggling with life and its many bumps along the way.<\/p>\n

Her life saw tragedies of rape, a miscarriage, and family loss. She experienced being institutionalized, homeless and on drugs. Enduring what she felt God unjustly thrust upon her, Amin started taking stock and realized everything is a pattern, a track so to speak. And instead of letting life keep taking her around and around in confusion, she knew she needed support to get her life back in stride.<\/p>\n

Hence the Pit Crew<\/em>. Crafted from the Disney\/Pixar animated movie Cars<\/i>, Amin\u2019s book revolves around the concept needing a set of trusted people in your life to fix you, uplift you, and check you when you need it.\u00a0 Simply put, nobody can do this life alone, and Amin gives you the tools to see who’s important to your journey.<\/p>\n

Amin explains the roles your pit crew plays \u2013 from the Crew Chief (God), the Car Chief, the Jackman, the Tire Changers\/Carriers, the Gas Man and Utility Man \u2013 each one has a special role, and all work together to make you better. Her model doesn’t absolve you of personal responsibility, though. You are ultimately in the driver’s seat, and the decisions you make \u2013 especially whom you allow in your Pit Crew\u00a0\u2013 is all on you. She emphasizes this with the thoughtful questions for discussion at the end of each Pit Crew description. You have to do the work. Also, learn to be still and learn your life lessons.<\/p>\n

Amin, a minister, motivational speaker, and\u00a0 life coach, writes with honesty and a desire to help women winding around a never-ending track with no finish line in sight. There is a never a time we won’t have issues in our lives, problems in our relationships and troubles on our jobs, but Amin’s book makes the bumps easier. Her own story, as a catalyst to writing this book, is poignant. I admire her courage share this story\u00a0\u2013 her story\u00a0\u2013 with the world.<\/p>\n

Thank you, Renair.<\/p>\n
