That is exactly what the book did. Jeff's rules are foundational, Biblical and will lead you down a path that lays out a plan for true prosperity.

Jeff brings us back to the simplicity of God's plan and how it operates in your life. Jeff challenged me in some of my thoughts and confirmed others. The biggest for me was the challenge of patience.
