Instructions for achieving financial success can actually be found within the pages of the Bible. For those wise enough to follow them, prosperity is assured. These instructions are given to us by God Himself, in the form of principles which any person can adopt and apply in their own life. The author does not take the approach that God can be manipulated into satisfying your selfish, worldly whims. In fact, there is a considerable amount of material in the text which warns against this attitude. Instead, the reader is shown the Biblical procedure for getting their heart right with God, so that they arrive in a state where God can bless them financially. Once this condition is achieved, a person can then pursue the two primary Biblical principles for financial success that the author has expounded upon, which result in: • A tree planted by rivers of living water, whose leaf shall not whither, and all that he does shall prosper • The doors of heaven are opened and blessings are poured out in such abundance that there is not room enough to store them all Many Bible-believing Christians already practice these principles and can testify to their effectiveness. God really does want to bless you!

From the Foreword written by Jack Hayford: This book presents the real deal, because God does covenant to bless those who learn to live within His covenants and revealed principles of giving. I see the evenhanded instruction herein as providing a study that can open your life to receiving a mantle, a kind of covering or anointing, for every aspect of your life.

According to author Rich Brott, it is human nature to want something for nothing; or at least to receive a maximum amount of return for a minimum amount of effort. The old adage notes that we should work smarter, not harder. There is no doubt that the industrial revolution changed society forever. But is there ever a legitimate excuse to not continue working hard? But the bottom line is this. For you to be successful with consistency, you will have to give up the ever present desire to live a life of leisure, fulfilling every personal whim and want, and choose to remain productive for a good part, if not all of your life. God honors hard work. He honors productivity. It is the author's belief that God's method for success is to bless the good productive work ethics of ordinary people.
