THE PROSPEROUS WAY

When I set out to write this book, it was with one simple purpose in
mind: To find out for myself the truth about how the Bible views
prosperity. I studied and wrote primarily to provide a guide from the
Word for my own journey. My exploration of the Scriptures has left me
with no doubt that God’s heart is to prosper us—but we must do it God’s
way. I have seen His hand in my own life as I have sought in some
measure to follow the Biblical principles that I discovered as I explored
the Scriptures. It is my prayer that these same Scriptures will work their
power in your heart, as they have in mine, and illuminate the way that
God has already prepared for your feet to travel.

I believe that a journey taken with others is the most satisfying and
rewarding. So, I have added a section at the end of each chapter called
Think it Over and Talk it Through. Here you will find questions that you
can use to talk through the principles discussed in that chapter with your
small group from church, your family or with your friends—anyone that
you choose to take this journey with. Or you can take the journey alone
and use this section to reflect, journal and strategize. But whether with
others or alone, if you have found yourself waiting by your own Red Sea
for far too long, I invite you to join me on a new journey … a way that
leads to prosperity.

“Thy word is a lamp unto my feet
And a light unto my path.”
(Psalms 119:105)
