This is about scriptures for financial blessings. This is the right time to pray for your finances.

Prayers Help Finances

Many people are struggling with their finances right now. The Virus (COVid-19) has caused a lot of problems with finances.

This is a book review of  “Prayers and Promises for Financial Breakthrough”.

Title: Prayers and Promises for Financial Breakthrough

Author: Joan Hunter

Publisher: Broadstreet Publishing Group

Pages: 176

Chapters: 15

Overview:

This book has many prayers based on scriptures. It also contains an idea that is new to me. The idea is to give an offering of an amount that is related to the chapter and verse numbers of relevant scriptures. One such verse is Philippians 4:19.(NKJV) “And my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.”  The idea is to give $4.19 or $41.90 whatever God is leading you to give. I strongly believe in the power of praying scriptures or praying prayers based on scriptures. Adding the offering based on the chapter and verse could only stengthen the prayer.

The above scripture and the related prayer are found in chapter 10 “God Supplies.”

Another page is about “Reaping the Hundredfold Blessing.” This is based on the hundredfold blessing received by Isaac in Genesis 26:12 NIV.

Another chapter on Multiplication tells how the author asked for a new car and seeded $111 based on Dueteronomy 1:11. She ended up getting a car for $11,000 less than any other similar make and model. It was so much less that she wondered if something was wrong with it. No there was nothing wrong with it. God just blessed her mightily.

I like this book a lot. It is now one of my favorites on the subject of finances. Thank you Joan for writing this book.

There are many financial scriptures and prayers based on them. This is a practical helpful tool for improving your finances.

If you have financial problems this book will help you increase your income. The testimonials are enlightening and inspiring.

My son is now laid off due to the corona virus. I will recommend he get and use this book.

Another story I remember from this is the story of man who had recently been released from prison. He had no money. He had no job. No one would hire him. He did not even have the money for the seed offering of $1.11. So the author gave him the money. He then put that whole amount into the offering. Amazingly he was offered a job the very next day! That is a powerful story. There is hope for you. This is a very encouraging piece of work.

One idea from this book is write down when and what you prayed for. Then you keep track of the results. This will help to build your faith. This is the time to put prayer first rather than last.

There is no guarantee of exactly what results you will get.  But God promises that you will get good results if you trust in Him.

Verdict:

This is a very interesting and practical book. It will help you with your finances. It is inspiring and useful. I really believe in the power of praying based on scripture. Every word is true and powerful. You are not left to struggle alone with your finances. The testimonials are very interesting. I give this book 4 1/2 stars out of 5. This is definitely worth the money.

This is a book review of “Goals” by Zig Ziglar.

A Harvard study of graduates found that those who had clear and specfic goals written down (3%) were 10 times as successful financially than the (97%) who did not. This makes this book very important for any kind of success financial or otherwise.

Book Review

Title: Goals

Author: Zig Ziglar

URL:

Publisher: SoundWisdom

Pages: 170 

Overview

Zig Ziglar inflenced and taught over 250,000,000 people with his programs and books. He is a major figure in the areas of goal setting and sales training for example.

First he talks about four reasons people do not set goals. The first reason is fear. “The average 18 year old has been told “no” 148,000 times and “you can’t do that”.  The second reason is poor self-image. They cannot imagine graduating from college for example. The third reason is no buy-in. They don’t believe it is really important. The fourth reason is  they don’t know how to set goals.

This book has practical steps to take to help you set and reach your goals. It has many little stories to illustrate the main points. This book is inspirational and motivational. I loved this book.

Nine Steps

Next he tells us about 9 steps to powerful goal setting. Here is a very brief summary of the 9 steps:

1. Write it Down to Make it Happen

Write down what you want to be do or have.

2. Ask Yourself Why

Look at what you wrote and ask yourself why do you want to be do or have each item.

3. Reduce or eliminate

You probably want more than you have time for.  (You)” have to say no to the good so (you) can say yes to the best.”

4. Find Balance

Try to avoid putting too much emphasis on one or two areas of your life. There are seven areas to your life.–physical, mental, spiritual, social, career, financial,  or family.

5. Explore what  Will Reaching the Goal Do For You

There are seven basic questions you can ask yourself. Will reaching your goal make you happier, healthier, more prosperous, more secure, more friends, more peace of mind, improve family relationships?

6. Stretch Yourself

You need to have some goals that really make you stretch. Make yourself reach for something wonderful.

7. Check for Negativity

Unrealistic goals are actually negative rather than positive. They can lead to depression. For example,  a goal of making one million dollars in a year is unrealistic if you do not have $2,500 in savings now.

8. Five Questions to Ask

Ask yourself if this is really your goal or is it someone elses ?

Is this goal fair and morally right?  If you are taking advantage of someone it is not a good goal.

Every decision should be weighed on whether or not it is bringing you closer to your major objective.

Can I emtionally commit to this goal and see it through to the end.?

Can you see yourself reaching this goal?

9. Choose your top 4

To narrow down your goals to only 4, you need to take inventory of where you are.

Step two is to write down the goal.

What benefits will you get from reaching your goal?

What obstacles do you need to climb over to reach your goal? If you are on a diet you will have to change your eating habits.

What additional knowledge or skills do you need to reach your goal?

Verdict

This is a really good book to help you set and reach your goals. It is practical, inspiring, and motivational. It will help you to set and reach your most important goals.  I used it myself and I am very satisfied so far. I highly recommend Zig Ziglar’s book Goals.

Samples of information:

In How to Choose Your Niche the author says you only need 10 long pages on 10 products. This is simpler and faster than keeping a blog up to date.

He also says it is not necessary to be passionate about your niche. But he does education himself deeply after discovering whether or not a niche will be profitable.

In How to Choose the Right Product he offers three rules.

1. Avoid seasonal products like Halloween costumes for example.

2. Stay away from low-priced products. The commissions are lower. You should look for products over $50.

3. Look for products with four stars or more and good reviews.

Overview:

His advice makes sense. He is thourough in discussing all the important topics. The use of pictures helps to explain what he is talking about. They do not distract from the topic being discussed. i like that he puts important points in highlights or bold type. This makes it easy to read and to find the most important words or phrases.

He is very good at taking a step by step approach to his instructions. I like that he tells you what you need and…what you do not need. I find that helpful.

There are some typos and grammatical mistakes, but these are not common. On the whole it is easy to read.

One very valuable thing is that he has a website to answer questions and to help you if you need it. After you read the book you can get all the help you need. This is an outstanding service.

The author has excellent information. He explains new things very simply and clearly.

Verdict:

My final verdict is that this is a very useful well presented book. It is practical and clear. I give this five stars out of five.
