Deep inside every believers heart is a dream. For some it may be buried beneath the fear of failure, hidden by insecurity, clouded by self-doubt, or hindered by not knowing who they are in Christ, but the dream is there. Each of us has a God-given desire to play our part in changing the world. However, you cannot simply uncover the dreams in your heart. You must also move toward them. Too easily we get stuck about what to do next. But God sends people into our lives who walk with us and encourage us to pursue our dreams. For twenty years, Kris Vallotton has been one of those people for me. In my early 20s I would tell Kris, with great excitement, about the things God placed on my heart. They were massive dreams and I had no idea how I would ever get there. Kris not only believed in my dreams, but helped shape me as I moved toward the call of God on my life. Destined to Win will both encourage and challenge you with insight and the necessary tools to not only uncover your dreams, but also set you on the course of seeing your dreams become reality.

Destined to Win is encouraging, inspiring, and challenging us to embrace and step toward our dreams. Kris Vallotton is one of the best I know in showing the heart of God as a Dream Champion ready to lead us all into victory. He does it again with Destined to Win. I invite you into a journey to see how the best of you can be both hidden in Christ and drawn to the surface to glorify our Father. As I read these pages I am reminded that there is still much left in my life to bring forth for the One who gave everything for me. I highly recommend you get this book and apply it to your destiny!

Using examples from his own life, Kris shows us that we all can achieve greatness, first by defeating our internal enemies, then by following a few simple, but profoundly wise, principles, such as believing you were created for a purpose, allowing God to turn your weakness into strength, and surrounding yourself with different perspectives and gifts.

In this amazing book, my dear friend Kris Vallotton encourages us that in order to love our neighbors we must love ourselves and care for our own souls. We are made for community and he urges us that we cant reach our full potential until we surround ourselves with covenant friends who share our DNA. I often say I have the best team in the world but I hope other leaders would argue with me on that. I pray that as you read this you will be inspired to partner with others, dream big in God, and spread His love throughout this world as beloved sons and daughters. You are called to shine for Jesus and you are destined to win!

What you are about to read on the pages of Destined to Win will change your life. This book is filled with brilliant insights, supernatural wisdom, and stories that will inspire you to personal greatness. But greatness from Gods perspective has little to do with power, money, or fame. His design for us has to do with the freedom to dream, while fulfilling our God-given purpose. Kris Vallotton has captured the heart of God on this subject, largely through his own personal journey. One of the greatest miracles Ive ever seen has been the miracle of Gods grace at work in this man who truly has a heart after God. His hunger, humility, and willingness to sacrifice all has brought him to a place of personal breakthrough. It is beautiful to watch. Reading this book will give you a glimpse into your own victorious destiny, for all of us are destined to win.

AND AUTHOR OF WHEN HEAVEN INVADES EARTH AND GOD IS GOOD
Destined to Win was created from Kriss own vulnerable process as well as some masterly thought through principles. I love how everything Kris writes imparts identity but this book also imparts wisdom through emotional intelligence over your own journey. He creates steps about finding your people, boarding the right bus, and creating a personal connection to many principles you have heard before but are now presented in ways that you can apply to your own success. Bottom line: Kris has a unique way of imparting wisdom that helps you reign in life. I so appreciated his latest work and I know you will as well!
