The Problem: The Silent Graveyard of Destiny

It’s more than a book.It’s a lifeline—helping young people rise above the traps of this world, and giving parents a step-by-step roadmap to lead their children to destiny fulfilment.
To the Young Person (16-30 yrs)
Before you ever took your first breath, God wrote a masterpiece called you. Psalm 139:16 (NLT) reveals that every day of your life was recorded in His book — a perfect plan waiting to unfold. Now it’s your turn to discover it, embrace it, and live it. This book is your step-by-step guide to unlocking the life God designed — a life of purpose, power, and unstoppable destiny.
To the Parent
Prevention is always better than rescue. Don’t wait for heartbreak, addiction, or regret to become your family’s wake-up call. By the time the world’s traps tighten their grip, it may be too late to rewrite the story. Our books and seminars cost far less than rehabilitation, but far more than money is at stake — your child’s destiny is. Invest these six weeks now to guide your son or daughter into purpose before the world misguides them into pain. Don’t look back one day saying, “I should have made the time.” Make the time now — while their future is still being written.

Why This Book Is Transformational
This isn’t theory—it’s testimony.
In 2019, Paul, a graduate of Charis Bible College and its Directors Training Program Level 1, followed the Holy Spirit’s call to disciple 25 students. That small beginning became a worldwide movement.
By December 2024, more than 6,000 lives had been discipled through a network of 80 Bible instructors. Along the way came undeniable miracles—healings, restored marriages, freedom from addiction, financial breakthroughs, and rediscovered purpose.
Leslie, a devoted youth pastor, has personally walked with teens and young adults through some of life’s darkest valleys, helping them rise again through the power of God’s Word.
Together, they’ve poured years of proven experience and real encounters with God into this book.
Every page carries evidence that the Word still transforms lives today.
Escaping the Destiny Graveyard isn’t just read—it’s experienced.
That’s why it changes everything.
