Destined picks up where Chosen left off and follows the life and struggle of Don Mitchell. Don the rightful heir of a multi-million dollar ministry who was overlooked by his father who left the business to his younger brother, Joel. Needless to say, Joel is running the ministry into the ground. Like many of use who experience terrible rejection, Don flees the hurt and exiles himself to his home in South Africa. Don is faced with a decision to either stay away, or to intervene and save the ministry. Will he allow his hurt feelings to get in the way, or will he realize that his destiny is inescapable and this future lies in his family’s legacy?
One of the most poignant lines in the book was “God’s word didn’t change because of circumstances. Circumstances changed because of God’s word.” Destined is a book that displays the power of God at His best. I was encouraged to turn over my own current situations to God and let Him show up and show out!
