This book, Destiny by Design, begins with the portrait of a world as seen by a curious three year old African American boy. This boy was born at a very difficult time in history, grew up in a toxic world of challenging variables. Yet he clung tenaciously to the belief that life's episodes can be meaningful when clearly interpreted for the inquisitive mind. King David wrote: "I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread" Psalms 37:25 KJV. The author presents living proof that principles, practices, promises and plans, as exercised herein, will work miraculously for you as it has for him. Your destiny is by design. I urge you, Cooperate with the designer. Contrary to some belief systems, no one was predestined to be a failure. Success is: The progressive realization of personal, pre-determined, worthwhile goals. Once a noble goal has been set, any progress toward that goal is measurable success. Our creator declares: "I know the thoughts I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace and not evil, to give you an expected end." Jer. 29:11 "Before I formed you in the belly I knew you" Jer. 1:5a. "But my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus." Phil 4:19 KJV. We are not cosmic errors. We are gifted, anointed, commissioned, and Sent to earth to carry out a divine plan. Your Destiny is by Design. Destiny by Design does clearly illustrate how purpose is found and how plans for our mission and ministry on earth are joyously carried out. You can't lose with the stuff God use.

Praise for the earlier edition-- "A fascinating, thought-provoking book.... Hietala shows that it was not destiny but design and aggression that enabled the United States to control Texas, New Mexico, and California."--Historian"Hietala has examined an impressive array of primary and secondary materials.... His handling of the relationship between the domestic and foreign policies of the decade shatters some myths about America's so-called manifest destiny and deserves the attention of all scholars and serious students of the period."--Western Historical Quarterly Since 1845, the phrase "manifest destiny" has offered a simple and appealing explanation of the dramatic expansionism of the United States. In this incisive book, Thomas R. Hietala reassesses the complex factors behind American policymaking during the late Jacksonian era. Hietala argues that the quest for territorial and commercial gains was based more on a desire for increased national stability than on any response to demands by individual pioneers or threats from abroad.
