Wisdom and Dominion

God's Success Manual

The Book of Proverbs contains more practical advice than any book written in the ancient world. I titled an earlier edition "God's Success Manual."

The first nine chapters are a father's advice to his son. Chapters 10-31 are a compilation of brief, highly practical guides to daily living. At least 86 passages relate to economics or business.

A few of the topics include: wisdom and wealth, visible success, debt payment, co-signing debts, restitution, laziness and poverty, just wages, legitimate wealth, confidence in the future, ethics and inheritance, lawful ownership, paying attention to details, crooked dealing, unreliable riches, selective bribery, the price of prosperity, middle-class living, virtue and productivity, marrying well.
