Predestined For His Glory
Lisa Ciccio’s life had been predestined at birth—for both good, and evil.
Bursting through the door of her mother’s house in the middle of the night, Lisa’s face was stained with tears. “Why is my life filled with such trauma and abuse? I’ve escaped death—over and over again—yet this driving force inside of me still wants to rebel?” Twenty-two-year-old Lisa Ciccio was a seasoned strip club dancer with an abusive international drug trafficking boyfriend out on bail. As she fell to the floor sobbing, her mother’s confession stunned her. “I know why; I’ve always known why!” A demonic presence had tried to claim her as a child, but what Lisa didn’t know then was, God had already marked her as His own; and the gifts He placed within her were forever Predestined for His Glory.
From strip clubs to sanctuaries, jail cells to worship altars, Lisa’s story is a raw and redemptive journey of a woman who lived through hell—and found heaven’s hand reaching for her at every turn. But even in her darkest hours, God was writing a different ending.
For every woman who has ever wondered if she’s gone too far or fallen too hard—this is your reminder: you, too, are Predestined for His Glory.
