Synopsis

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.

I, was born in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, on June 8, 1943 to a Christian family and accepted Jesus at an early age. In Jr. High School, I became interested in writing and drama.

In 2010, I wrote the sequel, “Of Such Is the Kingdom, Part III, Power and Persecution, A Novel of the early Church and the Roman Empire.” I also wrote a Sci-fi novel, “Impossible Journey, A Tale of Times and Truth” and a non-fiction book, “Principles of the Kingdom." I graduated from Clearwater Christian College in 1970 with a B.A. degree in Bible-Literature, and from Biblical School of Theology in 1974 with a M. Div. Ordained in November, 1974, I served as assistant pastor/Bible teacher in several churches. I also served in a foreign-student ministry, where I met my wife, Berenice Carett from Venezuela.

Have a Vision

Here's the first part of Chapter 7 ("Vision") of my Biblical Self-help book. Here we see the relationship between purpose, vision and inspiration. We also see just what having a vision looks like, and how to obtain one. There is also an illustration here from my Biblical Novel "Of Such Is The Kingdom" about Pilate's wife. Thus, my next bubble may be from that part of that book to give you a better idea of what I mean. The two books (this one and the novel) are best bought together.

Book Excerpt

Principles of the Kingdom (God's Success Principles)

CHAPTER 7: VISION

“Where there is no vision, the people perish”

--Proverbs 29:18

Once you realize your God-given purpose, you should start to have a vision. A vision is the first step toward turning your motivation into inspiration. I‘m not talking about what the American Indians call a vision quest. What I mean by vision is a mental picture of what you will be doing to fulfill your purpose. A person with a vision sees down the road. He can sense what it will be like six weeks, six months, a year, two years, five years, ten years and more ahead.

So how do you get a vision? Call to mind your purpose and try to imagine a way or a few possible ways in which this purpose can be fulfilled. To refer once more to my novel, if you read it, I‘m sure you can recall Pilate‘s wife, Portia‘s constant insistence that he could take over Herod‘s territory. That was because, having sensed her husband‘s purpose, to rule, she got a vision of the extension of that rule and then went to work to achieve it by first by trying to get her husband to have the same vision and then by writing letters to Caesar. Of course that plan eventually failed but it was probably because she was unable to keep it at the forefront of her husband‘s mind for long enough.
