In May of 07, I was invited to the house of Kris and Kathy Vallotton. Along with 50 other leaders, they had opened up their home to meet many of us in town that week. As I sat under the stuffed Turkey, that Kris borrowed from Bill Johnson, I talked to Kris for the first time. I found Him to be as real as they get. His story telling had me laughing for an hour. Since then I have consumed everything I can from him. His wife Kathy is as warm and loving as they come. She quietly went about serving and making people feel at home. I talked to her in the kitchen for a while and felt like family. Why and I am telling you this? Destined To Win is not a book about methods or formulas. DTW is a book about the process of the Kingdom that the Lord had taken them through. I was told once a long time ago. Don't listen to a man's philosophy until you know what that man's philosophy had produced. So for the last ten years, I have studied not just the words, but the man. What I love about Kris is he is the man behind the curtain, who is not afraid for us to see him. When he preaches, his words are powerful and wealthy in kingdom revelation, but he always lets us in on the process and the struggle. Kris does not create an image of a perfect leader, but a son in the Kingdom that is learning every day.
I have read many books in my days. My bookshelves are full to the top with those on leadership. This book should be on your nightstand or desk and never be placed back on the shelf. It should be a manual for building kingdom leadership and people. I have never highlighted more in a book other than the Bible itself. The book is not a cheerleader's guide to creating hope. It is a book of encouragement and wisdom of the process that everyone goes through if he or she desires to be all in all for his or her King.
I am personally in the course of making DTW into a manual for our leadership team. There is so much to extract from the book that you too will be overwhelmed with gratitude. You will learn that struggle is not uncommon. You will see that down cycles can be followed by upturns. You will learn that there is wisdom in how you pursue and discover your destiny. You might believe that you have a destiny, but you lack guidance to get on the right track. Kris walks us through a reasonable search for our heart's desires in Christ and then teaches us how to cultivate it in the Spirit.
I have recommended and recommended this book that you would think me a Kris are good friends. Actually, that one opportunity to be in his house that day was the one opportunity I have been afforded. It is one that has yielded tremendous fruit for me. I believe that anyone breathing should read this book. If you do not believe that you are Destined To Win, you will when you finish. Thank you, Kathy and Kris, for your hospitality and kindness. Thank you for moving forward when stepping back would have been easier. What makes a great book is not how much it cost, or how many it sells, it is the impact it can have on eternity and the souls of those who read it. This one is GREAT in every measure that I can see. I hope you will take the time to read it and discover that you are Destined To Win.

This book is for you! I know I do not know you, But it is for you!
Wow! This couldn't have came at a better time! After reading this book I can't tell you how much God used this to help me in every single aspect of my life. And that isn't just a flattering exaggerated statementm I mean it. Being an entrepreneur, the wisdom in this book hit home in more ways than one for me. Thank you Kris!Read if you:1) Need discernment and clarity involving God's plan for you.2) Understanding the how others play a big role in your life.3) Discovering hidden greatness inside of you God has placed.4) There are too many things to say.Let me be vulnerable for a second. After reading this book I was challenged and convicted. A lot of junk in my life came to the surface that God brought to light by the spirit of truth on these pages. But I couldn't be any more thankful for that. I believe this is definitely a NOW word for anyone. I felt like I had a spiritual chiropractic adjustment... and I feel so much better. If you are reading this Kris, Thank you for this book. I do plan to put this on my yearly rotation. Be blessed today and invest in yourself! This book is worth it!
