Unforgiven Destiny has been officially released in multiple formats!

The original artwork for the cover of Unforgiven Destiny, was created by Benjamin Hummel, (@HummelIllustrations.com).

Unforgiven Destiny is Lanny's first historical fiction piece. Based on a true story, this novel was 100 years in the making. It provides an account of the life of John Frederick Williams based on historical fact obtained through meticulous research and family lore. John was a man that early on in life learned how to run away from his problems. As a young boy he migrated to America from Wales with his mother and sister during the second half of the 18th century. As immigrants to America they were sponsored by the Mormon Church from Salt Lake City. After living in Utah for a few short years, they narrowly escaped the oppressive life of a polygamist culture. These experiences formed the catalyst of panic that plagued John for the remainder of his life. This consuming panic turned into a deep seated fear - causing him to turn tail and run every time life became too overwhelming. It was the personal demon that pursued him throughout his life.

There is a mystery involved within the very nature of the human existence. A mystery that will never be fully revealed through the experience of life’s journey – it will only be realized within the confines of the final passage. It is up to every individual to discover their own personal destiny - hoping… praying… that they never realize the natural consequence of an unforgiven destiny.

"God's Vessel of Perfection"

Who has believed our message? And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed? For He grew up before Him like a tender shoot, And like a root out of parched ground; He has no stately form or majesty that we should look upon Him, nor appearance that we should be attracted to Him. Isaiah 53:1-2 NASB

Throughout history this country has consistently turned away from God as things became too comfortable. That is until we are humbled to the point of hopelessness, realizing there is no other viable avenue than to fall on our knees to pray. As the stark reality of life’s challenge hits, it is usually only then that we begin crying out for deliverance from the clutches of tragic circumstance!
