God Has a Story Written About You and It's Time to Find It by Jurri Schenck
What if I told you there is a library in Heaven, and inside that library are books written about you — stories filled with your identity, your destiny, and the very treasures God has hidden in your life? Would you want to know what's in those books? Most of us have never heard of a prophetic story.

So much so that when Jesus announced at the last supper that "one of you will betray me," Peter boldly declared: "Though they all are offended and stumble and fall away because of you [and distrust and desert you], I will never do so" (Matthew 26:33 AMPC).
