The author takes the four major stages of a butterfly and how the process of metamorphosis is intentional in its growth from one stage to another and parallels it with the stages a Christian goes through to develop and reach the potential God has ordained for him or her. She also uses the Biblical example of Joseph to show how every pit and problem is used to push upward and release purpose so that we all can live our lives everyday in the perfect will and plan of God. From the embryotic stage through the caterpillar stage the butterfly is steadily becoming the butterfly. The crucial stage of the pupa is the most dramatic and life changing stage where everything the butterfly is to become happens. This same thing happens to Christians as they move through life dealing with environmental changes, hardships and trials to the hidden times where development and growth takes place. Just like the butterfly, the Christian finally emerges as a Christian who has moved from milk to meat, ready to walk into destiny, ready to live the dreams put there by God. The biblical Joseph is a glorious example who had a beautiful coat that was taken as he moved to the hidden places but we see him in the end standing tall with a new more beautiful coat, letting us know that if we learn to trust through the process, the ultimate victory is ours as we stand in places of destiny God has called us to. My prayer is that as you read this small book, God will help you understand how everything in your life can be used to bring God glory ultimately.
