The Book

Chosen For A Purpose

The Storyline

Chosen for a Purpose follows the spiritual journey of a person discovering that life is not accidental but divinely ordered by God. Beginning with the search for identity and meaning, the book shows how trials, failures, discipline, obedience, and the leading of the Holy Spirit prepare believers for their God-given calling.

It leads readers away from self-made ambition and into the understanding that true purpose is found only in Jesus Christ — transforming lives and equipping each believer to help others discover and fulfil their purpose in Christ.

The Heart Behind The Book

Why I Wrote This Book

Ricardo wrote Chosen for a Purpose because his own journey taught him that life is not accidental.
