This book started with a conversation with a friend about how their life and my life could have been so different if certain things had happened at a certain point in time. I was motivated to explore that proposition, and my exploration led to the writing of this book. I began to realize that so many of us reach back into the past for answers, without realizing the amazing destiny that God has prepared for us, if we would just decline to reach back and not ponder the what ifs. One of the realities of life is the difficult process of decision-making. Once a decision has been made, after extrapolating the best information available and at your disposal, there should be a limited amount of what ifs.
