Lisa's Book
How God Rewrote My Story
From strip clubs to sanctuaries, jail cells to worship altars, Predestined For His Glory is the raw, redemptive journey of a woman who lived through hell—and found heaven’s hand reaching for her at every turn.

This memoir invites you behind the curtain of survival and into the presence of a Savior who rescues, restores, and repurposes every broken piece. Through heartbreak, deliverance, widowhood, and revival, Lisa discovered a calling greater than her past and a God who never let go. there is a beautiful prophetic thread from beginning to end that shows us that God turns everything around for her good and His Glory, every single time.
For every woman who has ever wondered if she’s gone too far or fallen too hard—this is your reminder:
You were made for more.

Reviews
More times than I can count, God has directly used Lisa to remind me of my worth in Christ. Be it divorce or addiction, her Christ-like love met me right where I was — without judgment. Through scripture and prayer, she walked me through the trenches and into freedom and peace.
Lisa taught me how to pray. How to surrender. How to shift from negative thinking to God’s truth. Lisa was always my first call to pray with me. I would come to her crying from exhaustion—and leave crying from JOY. God used Lisa to walk me through the wilderness, and He met me in it. I wouldn’t be who I am today without her.”* 🤍
