Dr. Anderson is the founder and senior pastor of The Living Word Bible Church in Mesa, Arizona. His premise for this book is "Getting Money to You, Not from You." He refutes that Christian's should be poor, that God actually wants us to be wealthy so that we can sufficiently tithe to our church and minister to those that are less fortunate.
Anderson grew up in a financially struggling family in Loretta, Wisconsin. Sharing his biblical principals that raised him out of poverty and made him successful is the driving force in his ministry. He addresses attitude, the reader's relationship with God and quotes numerous passages from the Old and New Testament, offering his own spin on what he believes God wants for us.
In his Introduction he lays the foundation for the book, which is moving enough to keep you reading. He states, "For the promises of God to be effective in your life, changes need to happen inside of you. Rich Dad Poor Dad addressed the differences in perception between the rich and the poor. Becoming a Millionaire God's Way addresses the same problem of perception as it relates to the church." Anderson is a powerful, succinct writer with a captivating style.
There are so many powerful statements in this book that you'll be thinking about his ideas for a long time after reading the book. You'll find yourself earmarking pages to re-read. For example, Anderson says, "We can choose to ignore money because we think it is spiritual to do so or we can choose to accumulate wealth just for our own comfort.
Either attitude will prevent us from gaining the kind of wealth that God intends."
Armchair Interviews says: A powerful book for Christians and non-Christians alike. A thought-provoking book that helps you take a good hard look at your own desires regarding financial wealth.
