In the area of finances, our decision to go it alone by not following God’s ways is what relegates many of us to struggle to live paycheck-to-paycheck as have-nots. Throughout Scripture, God gives us full guidance and instructions, processes and commands on how to live our life and deal with just about every conceivable situation that we might encounter. However, He never forces us to follow His ways—even though experience shows His ways are always best for our ultimate peace, happiness, productivity and success. In this groundbreaking look at the parables of the talents and the man of noble birth, pastor, teacher and author Dr. Kenneth Ulmer reveals Christ’s call to us to “do business” for Him. With Dr. Ulmer’s help, learn: • the difference between bringing a tithe and being a tither • the kingdom principle that money is to earn money • how to reverse the errors of taking the process out of prosperity, buying into the poverty lie and letting the world be smarter than us regarding finances • how to become a producer and not just a consumer • and much more. Whether we have a lot of money or a little, our use of the money entrusted to us will determine whether or not we (and our families) reach our kingdom potential—and our kingdom blessings. Follow Dr. Ulmer’s biblical prescription to see the many blessings that await those who will faithfully take care of business and make their money count.

God gave us the ability to create wealth in order for Him to establish His covenant with us, which is to bless us, to glorify Him and to bless others through us. So how do we go about creating wealth? In this amazing process, which Jesus taught to His disciples, Ulmer explores God's way of taking care of business. “This generation coming up,” explains Dr. Ulmer, “will be the first one that is not financially better off than the previous generation, What kind of legacy are we leaving if we don't train our children about the proper Kingdom principle of asset creation and money management?” In this groundbreaking look at the parables of the talents and the man of noble birth, pastor, teacher and author Dr. Kenneth Ulmer reveals God's process for moving you from a consumer to a producer.

If you are a Christian, being wealthy is part of God’s plan for you. But God’s wealth comes God’s way, through a financial system that works apart and above the world’s financial system. In this refreshing look at Christian wealth, Make Your Money Count reveals the Father’s heart for your money...

Each year we pay billions in fees to those who run our financial system. The money comes from our bank accounts, our pensions, our borrowing, and often we aren’t told that the money has been taken. These billions may be justified if the finance industry does a good job, but as this book shows, it too often fails us. Financial institutions regularly place their business interests first, charging for advice that does nothing to improve performance, employing short-term buying strategies that are corrosive to building long-term value, and sometimes even concealing both their practices and their investment strategies from investors. In their previous prizewinning book, The New Capitalists, the authors demonstrated how ordinary people are working together to demand accountability from even the most powerful corporations. Here they explain how a tyranny of errant expertise, naive regulation, and a misreading of economics combine to impose a huge stealth tax on our savings and our economies. More important, the trio lay out an agenda for curtailing the misalignments that allow the financial industry to profit at our expense. With our financial future at stake, this is a book that analysts, economists, policy makers, and anyone with a retirement nest egg can’t afford to ignore.
