Excerpt: My Journey to Success required me to travel through the 3 zones of life. This journey draws many parallels to the Israelites in Egypt. The journey of the Israelites from Egypt to the Promised Land paints a powerful perspective of three distinct zones people live in regarding God’s abundance. In one way or another, you are living in one of the three zones today: Egypt - The zone of Never Enough , Wilderness - The zone of Barely Enough , Canaan - The zone of More Than Enough .
