Prosperity is part of God's plan for us. This book gives us biblical principles and practical tools to achieve the prosperity God promises. Too often the greatest reason folks are in financial trouble is because they shop to buy things they really don't need with money they don't have.
Using biblical principles, Singletary teaches readers the essentials of becoming financially fit by putting them on a 21-day financial fast. This financial fast requires that readers stop using their credit cards for 21 days. They have to refrain from buying anything but the bare essentials, such as food and medicine.
They can't shop. They can't even window shop. They can't eat out. They can't use credit.
This financial fast will help readers achieve financial deliverance. They will break the bond that shopping or unwise credit card usage has had on their lives. Even readers who consider themselves good stewards over their money will be surprised how much money they spend even as they bargain shop.
Singletary gives the reasons why handling your money following biblical principles will lead to prosperity. If people had followed core financial principles outlined in the Bible-the borrower is slave to the lender-we wouldn't be in the mess we are in right now.
As Singletary speaks at more and more churches, she is often asked for a book that frames personal finance in terms of good stewardship using Scriptures. That's not something I was free to do in my first book.
That's where this book is different. She hits people hard and makes them think; for example, if they are Christian, are they handling their money as they should? Are they rejecting tithing because they truly don't believe in it or because they are just too broke to see the blessing behind it?
