Destiny's Journey is a memoir reconstructed partly from notebooks that Döblin kept from the time he worked in the French Ministry of Information in the spring of 1940 and partly written without notes in Los Angeles where he took refuge during the Second World War. It tells the personal and generational story of the flight of Jewish and anti-Nazi intellectuals from Europe to America, their fear and frustration, isolation, and inability to work. Döblin’s story differs from that of other Jewish intellectuals and artists in that his family converts to Catholicism in Los Angeles. Unlike most of them, he returns to Europe as an officer with the French forces and works on denazifying German literature. The conversion narrative bridges the departure from and return to Europe. To critic John Simon, “the latter part of the book often reads like a shrill piece of Christian homiletics. But even this is not without interest, as it traces the transformation of an anarchic outsider into a dogmatic insider.” “The first part of ‘Destiny's Journey’ [about] Döblin's departure from Paris [in] 1940... is magisterial: acidly observed, saturated in telling detail, grimly comic and harrowing... with an exemplary introduction by Peter Demetz... an important, nourishing book” — John Simon, The New York Times

"There!" You finally made it. You have reached the goals that you had set. Yet somehow you feel like something is missing and you set out on another adventure to reach your next "There". Have you ever wondered where the proverbial "There" is? Have you ever thought that if you could just get "There", everything would work out fine? In life, it seems as if people live in the extreme of one mind set or the other. They view "there" as a place, rather than a journey. People seem to always be seeking and yet not finding their "There". In Getting There, David Limerick teaches that destiny is a journey to be enjoyed and that the proverbial "There" is found in walking out the journey of your life. David teaches you how to change your mindsets and to receive peace that comes with knowing you are walking out your purpose and destiny.

Find a fuller, richer life by letting God direct your destiny. The story of Ruth is a journey of transformation.

Her story is full of collision--loss, heartache, poverty, even shame--but she never let her past define her.

If disappointments, whether a result of your own choices or the actions of others, have kept you from being your true self, this book is for you. Follow Ruth's life and discover the hope available to each of us. Your yesterday does not have to dictate your tomorrow. Despite your past pain, you, too, can find redemption and restoration.
