Wintley Phipps Helps Unlock Your God-Given

Character to Become the Person You Were Created to Be

In Tyndale Momentum’s Your Best Destiny, releasing in

October, Wintley Phipps—beloved pastor and Oprah Winfrey

Use Your Life Award recipient—challenges his readers to

change their focus from what they have and do . . . to who

they are.

Carol Stream, Ill.—When you imagine what it would take for your life to be truly

great—for you to become your best, most fulfilled self—do you dream of

something more than what you have now? More money . . . more attention . . .

more significance? In Wintley Phipps’s new book Your Best Destiny, Phipps reveals that the foundation

for successful living and greatness comes when we resemble, reflect, and reveal the character of God.

He brings readers’ lives into clear focus and opens their eyes to their amazing potential, summoning

them to greatness by showing them that the great life has nothing to do with wealth, power, position, or

fame.

Through the words of the apostle Peter (2 Peter 1:5-7), Phipps reveals the steps we must take to achieve

godly success. Readers will come to know the great life when they develop their character in eight areas:

belief, virtue, wisdom, self-control, perseverance, sacredness, kindness, and love. These are the eight

pillars revealed in God’s Word. Readers will learn how to use a six-step plan to strip away the burden of

beliefs and behaviors that hinder their every move so God can refashion them into the people they were

born to be.

According to Phipps, some of these character qualities are strengths, while others are weaknesses that

God wants us to develop. Each quality, however, is a dimension of God’s character and must work in

harmony with the others if we are to achieve God-defined success in life.

Your Best Destiny includes thought-provoking questions that will challenge readers to dig deep within

their own character. Each chapter includes study questions. The book is followed up by the

groundbreaking Your Best Destiny Personal Assessment Tool, which allows readers to dig deeper into

the eight dimensions of God’s character to see how they would respond in a variety of scenarios. Then
