About Running from Destiny II: Divine Intervention: A Christian Short Story (Unabridged)

This book is a stand-alone sequel to Running from Destiny, where Derek Anderson was being groomed to be a pastor, but he didn't feel that was his calling. He was smart and successful and always wanted to be a corporate tech giant, like Bill Gates, or a billionaire businessman, like Michael Bloomberg. Derek found out the hard way that you can't run from God. There was always a challenge or situation that pulled him back into the will of God no matter how far out he wandered. The love of money almost cost him his salvation as he literally battled demons on a regular basis. This book continues ten years later, after they returned back home to Bradley, Ohio, with the kids all grown up and facing challenges and tests of their faith in their adult Christian life. It tugs at your heart at times, and I want people to listen to my book and smile in some chapters and also laugh and cry with the characters because everything isn't roses; life isn't perfect. People are not perfect, so my characters have flaws as well. They need to be human and believable because the Christian life isn't a fairy tale, and I want my listeners to know that God never gives us more than we can handle and that he is ever present. Never stop praying.
