Status Updates From The Storehouse principle: A...

The way this book is organized does not flow well. Upfront is someone’s story of how they put money away. Then this happened and they put more away, however, what does not go with it is the Biblical principals which are all clumped together in the back of the book. ‘Oh he did that for this reason’ makes more sense than how it is arranged.

It walks a fine line of prosperity Gospel. But the premise is the same: make guidelines, stick to them, put money away first, tithe, use the rest for life. The Rich get rich through investing and having things that earn them money. Get yourself some CDs. Add to them as much as you can. Make twice monthly mortgage/credit card/ loan payments. You’ll pay it off faster with less interest.

I’ve read The Total Money Makeover. Again, I got more out of that book than this one thus far. ‘Save for a rainy day’ ‘Make wise purchases.’ So far I’m not impressed.

The first 42 pages were about how he put money aside and at times was blessed by different events. I almost put it down because it was basically about putting money in a savings account. Having read some Financial Freedom books - so far it’s much the same principle .. put your money away so when the famine comes you’ll be just fine.
