Aligned to the
Divine Design
All children are wizards. Growing up, most of us forget. This is for you if you are ready to remember.
Aligned to the Divine Design is a manifesto for anyone who refuses to live a life of powerlessness. Drawing on his own recovery and radical personal transformations, Ernest Chapman lays out a working theology of sovereignty across five domains: God, civilization, purpose, family, and self. He reads the patterns in Nature and the patterns in Civilization as one continuous text, walks through Three Paths to God across multiple mystical traditions, and offers a working alternative to institutional recovery, religion, and rage at powerlessness.
The book is also autobiographical. Ernest opens with his confession at the crisis point, builds his framework for sovereignty-based personal development, and closes with practical chapters on aligning civilization, families, and yourself.
For anyone who wonders why the institutional answers to despair, addiction, fatherlessness, or spiritual hunger don't always work, and wants to take action right now, today, to start living a better life.
