Dave Ramsey shares Biblical wisdom on the legacy we build with our wealth. What does the Bible really say about money? About wealth? How much does God expect you to give to others? How does wealth affect your friendships, marriage, and children? How much is "enough"? There’s a lot of bad information in our culture today about wealth - and the wealthy. Worse, there’s a growing backlash in America against our most successful neighbors, but why?

Prosperity. It's one of the most dividing words in the church. Some pastors use it to tell their congregations that God will make them all rich, rich, rich! Others spurn the word and insist that true Christlikeness is found in forsaking all worldly riches and possessions. The truth is, both are right - and both are wrong. With refreshing honesty, humor, and keen insight, best-selling author and pastor Kris Vallotton mines the Scriptures in an eye-opening study of what the Bible really says about money, poverty, riches, and wealth.

Loving Our Kids on Purpose combines the principles of the Kingdom of God and revival to form a powerful strategy for parents. Rather than the traditional approaches that train children to learn to accept being controlled by well-meaning parents and adults, this book teaches parents how to train children to manage their freedoms and protect their important heart-to-heart relationships. Children were designed with the core need of freedom. To deny this or live ignorant of it eventually destroys the trust connection between parent and child.

Publisher's Summary
A practical approach to creating wealth-based on the established principles of ancient Jewish wisdom-made accessible to people of all backgrounds. The ups and downs of the economy prove Rabbi Daniel Lapin's famous principle that the more things change, the more we need to depend upon the things that never change. There's no better source for both practical and spiritual financial wisdom than the time-tested knowledge found in the ancient Jewish faith and its culture.
In Thou Shall Prosper, Lapin offers a practical approach to creating wealth based on the established principles of ancient Jewish wisdom. This book details the 10 permanent principles that never change, the ten commandments of making money if you will, and explores the economic and philosophic vision of business that has been part of Jewish culture for centuries. The book's focus is on making accessible to individuals of all backgrounds, the timeless truths that Jews have used for centuries to excel in business. This book:
- Outlines 10 fundamental "commandments" relating to business and money
- Includes insights that will increase your potential for creating wealth, no matter what your faith or background may be
- Blends contemporary business stories and Lapin's own business experiences with the wisdom of the Torah and Talmudic prescriptions
This Second Edition provides new examples, especially of Internet-related business opportunities. In addition, each chapter highlights specific action steps that can lead to wealth opportunities in both difficult economic times and periods of prosperity.

Very good book
This was a good book with some outstanding thought provoking ideas. A lot of wisdom can be found in this book. Rabbi Lapin certainly knows how to tell a story and the book does seem to drag on a little, this would be my only criticism and not sold on the narrator but overall the wisdom especially the story of Grandpa Lapin and the Havdalah ceremony is Gold!

One of the Best Books I've Yet Read
This book is disguised as a low budget 'get rich' read. It's NOT.
Personally, I eschew how-to-make-money books because they are too much like how-to-write-the-next-great-American-novel type books. You read several hundred pages, you think it all makes sense, then BAM, the book is over and nothing much changes. In this comparison, Thou Shall Prosper is akin to the timeless Elements of Style. The real deal.
This book is not truly about getting rich or even just money. This is about PROSPERITY. The book addresses human nature in a grounded and genuine way. How we relate to each other, to money, to our jobs, to ourselves, and to our community all play a part. Each one of these relationships is profound, distinct, and interrelated. Gaining wealth is less about the physical money and more about knowing how to be valuable to other people.
Get the book! Allow yourself to revisit your view of money...not as an evil or mysterious object....but as a intellectual and abstract tool for human beings to use in our pursuit of serving each other and ourselves in a symmetrical way. Value, after all, is rooted in human belief. Therefore, creating value, recognizing value, sharing value, and measuring value are all part of a fundamental self expression. Others will grow with you. Prosperity is simply the net result.
Aside:
While reading the book, I was struck with a rare clarity. I sensed that I was truly reading something worth reading, something that would allow me to construct the exact life I had always envisioned. No other book has quite had that impact. All of my life experiences reinforced what the author discusses.

Awesome Book!
Where does Thou Shall Prosper rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
This is one of the most powerful books I have ever listened to (or read). I wish it would have been around when I was in my 20s. It ties together and presents Money, Capitalism and God in away we all need to understand.
What other book might you compare Thou Shall Prosper to and why?
The Richest Man in Babylon, 7 Habits of Highly Effective People combined.
What about A. C. Feliner’s performance did you like?
Easy to listen to and understand.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
Both, just a little.
Any additional comments?
Every young person should read and or listen to this book.

I knew buisness and money were good, heres why
The Rabi is very detailed in covering what seems like every aspect of life and buisness. What a unique perspective on life. I find that the Jewish community has discovered something in life that others have missed, or at least were not taugt to me. It was a great read, only a dusting of religion, (so don't be scared off by the "Rabi" part, very good info that applies to the religious and unreligious alike) and allot of really good information about most aspects of life.
If you want a unique look at life, money, buisness, selling, buying.....LIFE!?
This is the book for you. I mean anyone. Everyone.

Immensely powerful information! Who would have that that religious teaching could offer so much to the business professional? I highly recommend this book to everyone. This is basic information that everyone should know but few do. If I could only read one book on business this would probably be the one.

Great book, changes the way you think of money
Great book if you are at least inclined to think that money and profits are not evil. If you think that trying to earn more and accumulate wealth is exploitation you'll hate how this book challenges your erroneous mindset.
Author does a great job of discussing the purpose of business and money as helping others via volumtary exchange. His insight and interpretation of ancient biblical stories was fascinating to someone who was raised Christian and had heard many of them before but never with this level of historical analysis and
linguistic study.
The reader was good but SLOW! I ended up listening to half the book at 1.5 or even 2x speed. He does "gulp" air in the beginning as one reviewer said but either he stopped or I stopped hearing it.
The negatives are the minor issues with narration and the author would go on fairly long tangents but he would ultimately tie it back into the story.

What the Torah and Talmud say about business
Fascinating exploration of how religious Jews see business. It's both very practical - humility means holding your tongue - and philosophical- God made work to be good, so don't ever retire (just adjust the way you work). It's longer than necessary, with side lessons in every chapter - so I give it four stars rather than five. But it's very well written.

Better Than the Title
If you could sum up Thou Shall Prosper in three words, what would they be?
Thou Shall Prosper may sound like a religious book, but it's not. It's a book about value - your value in the market place.Once you get past the title and the fact that this book was written by a Rabbi, you'll see how the principles and ideas he talks about can help you do more with money. You'll see money differently.You'll also begin to see wealth and prosperity not as evil but as an ultimate benchmark of the good you are offering to the world. Despite the subtitle, this book is less about how to make money and more about how people - including you - view money. Get your views and beliefs about money right and the how to make it will take care of itself.

good read but a bit choppy
There are principles in this book that I'm going to implement in my life. I found the book to be a little bit choppy and moved around quite a bit. you definitely have to listen to this book more than once.

10 Commandments of how to live a Fulfilled Life
Fascinating insight into Jewish wisdom.
I thought this book was about how to be successful in business, but it’s much more than that: It’s about how to be successful in life.
It’s a manual that I expect to read again and again.
I thoroughly recommend it.

Okay book nothing spectacular
This book didn’t have many useful tips. This book is more of a book you read if you want to find a balance to life and money it is not really a book loaded with wealth tips.

best book on money ever written<br />
I've read dozens of business books over the years but this is hands down the best. It changes the ways you think about money and has immediately bled through to my life and improved my results (cash flow)

Read. This. Book.
I am so thankful I chose to read this book. It has challenged my goals, changed my mindset about selling, wealth and money. Most strikingly, it has revealed Gods plan of working, wealth building and serving others.
