The Bible is packed full of Scriptures that are related in some way
to financial topics. The Scriptures relate to personal stewardship,
issues of debt and credit, saving and investing, how to treat the
poor and less fortunate, honesty and truthfulness, laziness and
diligence, contentment and the cost of self-indulgence, business
and entrepreneurism, tithing and the giving of offerings, as well
as wealth and abundance. So many areas of our financial life are
written about in Scripture. The Scriptures in the Bible that relate
to issues of finance and stewardship offer to each of us help in
many areas of our personal and professional life. With them we can
learn and understand that: Money management is very closely related
to the biblical idea of stewardship. We must become wise when it
comes to borrowing and credit issues. We can live according to
God's Word, and enjoy the blessings that flow out of this
obedience. We must find out what God's purpose is for our life and
for our finances. By living these principles they will not only
affect our checkbooks, but also our priorities, our personal goals,
our vision, and our lifestyle. It is important to learn what God
has to say about money management. When we are successful in God's
economy, we benefit both now and for eternity. Those who build
their lives upon the truths of God's Word discover a foundation
that brings peace, wisdom, and success.

God is interested in our willingness to manage and administrate all
that He has given to us. Nothing will be thrown into our laps.
Financial prosperity is not an unconditional providential blessing;
conditions are attached. We are to take action and be proactive.
The abilities and giftings God provides motivate us to action.
Sometimes it takes our persistence in doing the same things
faithfully with the heart of a servant. Other times it is time to
try new things, new methods, and seek new opportunities. Sometimes
the steady plodding brings the success of the blessed life. Many
people, deep in debt and lacking in self-discipline in their
spending and contentment level, complain that their employers don't
pay them enough, their taxes are much too high, their business
costs have skyrocketed, or render some other excuse why they cannot
plan for their financial future. Of course, some of these excuses
may have a certain amount of legitimacy to them, but they don't
excuse a person from the responsibility of making sure that they
are not wasting any of the resources God has allowed to come
through their hands. The problem is rarely a lack of money; it is a
lack of money management. Money management simply means
self-management. This book will help the reader to re-align their
financial attitude so that can begin to fulfill their potential
financial altitude.
This book is an ideal text for use in the classroom, small groups,

Giving to others brings indescribable pleasure. Author Rich Brott
says, giving is fun! Giving is exciting! Just try to give something
away without feeling wonderful. An inward joy comes to you when you
have reached out and helped others. Whether it be in monetary gifts
or simply rolling up your sleeves and helping out the old-fashioned
way, the act of giving brings its own reward. When you give first,
your own personal needs will be automatically taken care of. After
all, giving is the Lord's work. It is Christianity in action.
3 John 2 says "Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things
and be in health, just as your soul prospers." Proverbs 11: 25
notes "A generous man will prosper; he who refreshes others will
himself be refreshed." Jeremiah 29: 11 states, "For I know the
plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and
not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." Author Rich
Brott begins with the fact that God wants to provide good things
for His children. He wants for you to prosper and be successful in
your God given gifts and callings. But God is no vending machine,
nor does His promises come without conditions. If God cannot trust
you with a hundred dollars now, how can He trust you with a
thousand or a hundred thousand? Christians have access to unlimited
and unimaginable resources. But with this access comes
accountability. This is a lot of trust that God places in our
lives. It is more than just finances. It is our entire life and how
we handle it with faithfulness, responsibility, accountability,
honesty, and integrity. You can learn how to Receive the Prosperity
and Provision of God!
You were created with great potential. You have God-given giftings
and talents. Sometimes potential is never realized. Realizing your
full potential is an ever continuing process of growth. This
involves a willingness to try new things, new ways, new ideas.
Dreams worth pursuing do not have to be "big" or "unrealistic." The
important thing is living a dream that is really yours. Those who
are most fulfilled know what they want and go after it. You have
great God-given capacity to succeed in life! Your life can be full
and rewarding. People who never achieve their full potential live
an empty life. If you think you can't, you won't. Search for
something that can't be done and do it. This insightful book starts
by asking you some thought-provoking questions. What is it that you
are called to do? What is the vision you have for your life? What
dreams do you have that are still ahead of you? What were you born
to do? What is your purpose? How will you achieve that calling in
your lifetime? Author Rich Brott helps you to understand the 8
Critical Insights You Must Discover in order to Achieve Personal
Success in life. The content is thorough, the season is timely and
you will be motivated and challenged to achieve your highest
potential!
According to author Rich Brott, nothing happens in the economy of
God until you give something away. It is a universal law of God.
Giving is the trigger for God's financial miracles. When you give
to the Kingdom of God, it will be given back to you. We must do so
in complete confidence that our God will not only meet our needs,
but allow us to have plenty left over so that we can joyfully share
it with others. When it comes to personal possessions, money and
wealth, you cannot take it with you but you CAN send it on ahead.
Bottom line is this: what you keep, you will lose, but what you
give away, you will gain. When you become a faithful tither and a
generous giver you become an individual whom God can bless.

The only way to reach a financial goal is to work at it. The most
important step in reaching that goal is to develop a plan to
achieve it. That's why it is so important to plan ahead for your
retirement and your financial future. While the idea of planning
ahead and building a solid financial strategy for success can
sometimes be intimidating and overwhelming, once you get started,
it will become easier. With a little planning and a better
understanding of what your investment options are, you too can
successfully manage your money and pursue your financial goals.
Author Rich Brott notes that faith is a choice, an act of the human
will. It is a deliberate choice to place confidence in God and His
Word. Unbelief is a sin because it is a deliberate choice to
withhold confidence in God and His Word. Faith is a receiving of
the truth, an embracing of the truth, and a commitment to the God
of truth! And commitment always produces action. That is why faith
without works is dead. With no action there is no commitment. With
no commitment there is no faith! In this book, you will find 25
faith-building principles that will enlarge your capacity to
receive the very best that God has to offer you.
