Description

Have you ever wondered if God has a destiny for you?

He does. 

For the longest time, Elizabeth Bristol ran from God—until, out of desperation, she caved. She found out she not only needed God but wanted Him. In what came as a total shock, she found peace, purpose, and incredible healing. 

She can’t not share because in this crazy world, who couldn’t use a little more of all that? 

There are stories in this book she wasn’t going to tell. Why did she? She had to share her indiscretions in order for people to see the power of redemption. 

But the coolest thing about this book isn’t the miraculous story God made out of Elizabeth’s life; it’s that He wants to do the same for everyone else. 

When you walk in your destiny, nothing can stop you from influencing your world. 

How do you do that? Let this book show you.

Advance Praise

“Elizabeth Bristol uses candor, humor, and a conversational-style to tell her unconventional story: she was a young party girl addicted to travel, always seeking something bigger than herself until she realized the hole inside of her was God-sized. That’s when the self-proclaimed agnostic’s real struggles began.”   — Holly Lorincz, bestselling author of Crown Heights 

“This entertaining pilgrimage is full of quirky stories. It’s deeply personal, but resonates with familiar spiritual wonderings we can all identify with. The ‘aha’ moments are simple yet profound, dished out appropriately in a way that makes me shake my head and smile.” — Chip MacGregor, MacGregor Literary, Inc.

Delightful reading of a walk with God. The discovery of one friendship that never leaves you and makes you dare follow your dreams and not what others expect from you.
Very appropriate for teenagers and not only.

I had the privilege of meeting Elizabeth Bristol a few years after this book ended. I remembered how every story she told made God seem so, so real and also closer than most of us have experienced. This book does the same thing. Written in a rambling, conversational style, the first half of this book reads like an adventure novel as Elizabeth seeks for fulfillment in life traveling abroad and out on the open seas. But when she meets Jesus, the adventures don't stop. She travels to Alaska where crazy things continue to happen. And her best friend, Fred (the name she often uses for God), hangs out with her and speaks to her through all of the good times and the hard times, helping her to name the lies that she's believed while reminding her always that she is deeply loved. I think I cried through the last few chapters, as I watched her do some really hard things as God helped her to walk back through her past and see it and herself the way God has always seen her. Beloved.

I received a free copy of the book from the author and have reviewed it willingly.
