Do you know what it takes to be successful? --to succeed in business as well as in life itself? In this Biblical self-help success book, the author contends that God has several principles, which if followed can lead to success either in business or in life itself. He further contends that although many of these same principles may be found among the motivational speakers and thinkers of today and yesterday, that they were originally derived from Holy Scripture, whether or not these spokespersons are aware of it. He points to Jesus' parables to show that not everyone who preaches or practices Kingdom principles will be found to be in the Kingdom at the end.
The 17 chapters of this book contain 17 articles relating to 17 of these principles. Knowing you purpose forgetting the past conquering fear believing focusing sowing and reaping resting and 10 others. (For a complete list of the principles included in this work, check the "Table of Contents.")
There are examples, positive and negative, of these principles in the lives of characters from the author's novel, Of Such Is The Kingdom, A Novel of Biblical Times. So this book and the novel make perfect companion volumes for each other..
And each chapter has a Quotable Quotes section with quotes from famous people past and present, including the Bible writers, so it makes a great reference source for quotations.

Just what is inspiration, what does it do, and of what does it consist? You'll find the answers to theses questions here, but barely. I pose that inspiration consists of three elements. But why these three in particular, and how do these elements fit and work together?

Book Excerpt
Principles of the Kingdom (God's Success Principles)
INSPIRATION can be a powerful thing. It can keep you going when all around you cries out .quit!. It is even more powerful than motivation, as motivation gives you your basic reasons to keep going—it tells you why you want to do what you do, because motivation is based on goals. These, in turn, may be based on necessity want or desire. But, inspiration fills those reasons with hope, possibility and enjoyment and keeps the .grind. from becoming too .grindy. But just what does inspiration consist of? I posit three elements: purpose, vision and mission.
