6This book is based upon the King James Version of Psalm 90:9-12. The psalmist describes life as a tale or story that is told. The reader is confronted with the possibility of experiencing painful situations while traveling through life. The lesson is leveraging our brokenness, transformation and transparency to live an abundant life. The book pictures this transformation using the crawling caterpillar transforming into a fluttering butterfly. It answers the question that to experience this victory is to Own Your Story Before Your Story Owns You. In other words, name and claim your valuable story.
