Divine Intentions: The Life You're Supposed to Live, The Person God Meant You to Be

by Doug K. Reed

Overview

Embrace God’s Divine Intentions for You
Your story began before you were even born. You have existed in God’s loving, wildly creative imagination for all eternity. His plans are perfect and His thoughts about you are not limited by time, space, or any situation.
You may have wandered away from God’s plans. You may have suffered soul-level injuries that affect your identity. You may be hurting from past circumstances…or feeling trapped in your current ones. There’s good news: God is still ready to help you realize the wonderful life He has planned for you.
Divine Intentions:The Life You’re Supposed to Live, The Person God Meant You to Be takes you on a journey of self-discovery through four key concepts: rescued, restored, relabeled, and redirected.
Author Doug K. Reed offers hope and direction for those who are searching for answers to their identities in Christ while struggling with wounds from the past or present. He shares his own personal story of restoration and soul-level healing, leading readers into the light of God’s love.
