I love Barry Bennett's method of teaching. I've been meditating on and off on the biblical concept of a seed for some time, so this fact that this metaphor ran through the entire book resonated with me. Much of what he covered here was the same foundational theological concepts that anyone who's heard Barry or Andrew Wommack or anybody from Charis Bible College teach would probably already know. He set up the book with the idea of sowing and reaping: how what we are saying and speaking and believing for now are seeds that will bear fruit in the future.

What I thought was unique about this book was the added concept that the harvest of abundance we get is not only for us, but to bless others. I'd heard that plenty with respect to finances, but the application here was much more broad. Jesus told us not to worry about meeting our own needs, but that if we seek first the Kingdom, all these things will be added to us. Something about the way that Barry addressed this concept clicked for me. A focus on what we don't have, on the problem that we're trying to solve, is a mentality of lack, not of abundance. That mindset will never produce the kind of abundance (of whatever the resource might be) that will spill over and bless the world around us... and because of this, it will mean we'll miss our purpose. A focus on blessing others as the primary focus will mean we'll achieve the satisfaction of living our purpose, plus we'll get our own needs thrown in along the way. It's the "lose your life in order to find it" idea yet again.

This is the one book that you SHOULD read this year

This is the one book that you SHOULD read this year and probably at the start of every year for the rest of your life.

Barry Bennet is one of the most amazing bible teachers at Charis Bible College, Colorado. His teaching has impacted my life in countless ways. I praise God every day that I came across this incredible resource for real, biblical life transformation.

This book a must read if you want to change the current trajectory of your life. God’s heart for you is good and filled with increase. Barry Bennett puts down a logical, practical application of basic bible principles that are so simple and effective that you’d need a lot of help to misunderstand!

Take that first step of faith, read the book, and become a doer of God’s word today!

I want to have everything in this book memorized so I can say these things at any time to any person. It really helped me teach in church.

This writing is inspiring and hope-filled (as usual with Barry’s teachings). There’s a Bible verse to answer every problem.

The future consist of 4 things: thoughts you haven’t thought yet, words you haven’t spoken yet, actions, you have it done yet, and circumstances, you haven’t yet experienced. A person has control over 3 of those things.

Inspiring and uplifting!

This book is very well written and makes plain the spiritual principle of reaping what you sow. The power of the seed and how you sow it impacts your future more than you realize. I recommend it to anyone who wants to be inspired and uplifted or just wants to better understand the power of the seeds in their lives.

Learned so much, eye opener

I always learn from Barry Bennetts teachings. This book is very good, I couldn't put it down. Also eye opening on how thoughts are seeds too.
