ENDNOTES
Books have a persona of their own. They become living entities. As each contributor to a book gives time, energy, and personal insights, life is breathed into the written word. This book is no exception. This book breathes because of the contributions of several important persons.
Special thanks go to Kenneth Hall, Ken McFarland, for editorial work and words of encouragement; to Ed Guthero, for his creative work and clear interpretation of my concepts in his cover design; to Marcus Sheffield for final copy editing; and to Reverend Wyatt Tee Walker for the inspiration to continue writing books.

D. L. Mundy, in his book God and the Rich Society, sees Christians as a group retreating from the world. He believes this is due to frustration on the part of Christians in not knowing how to cope with the material world.6 Mundy is on target, because the Christian’s economic dilemma arises mainly out of a failure to deal with this problem. Mundy further states, “But it can hardly be denied that the characteristic temptation of our day is to give up the struggle with the world, or if we do really live out our lives in the world, we do not struggle with it.”7
But for those who continue struggling with seemingly conflicting views of the material versus the spiritual, victory will only come when ambiguous views are averted with the inoculation of pure, clear, correct thoughts on financial matters. Christians must be told: Into your hands will be placed the exact results of your own thoughts; you will receive that which you earn; no more, no less. Whatever your present environment may be, you will fall, remain, or rise with your thought.8 So now we know that man is the captain of his ship, the master of his fate, but he does not live in a vacuum. Where do these conflicting ideas come from? How does one solidify his thinking on matters such as this? Socrates felt that it was necessary to create a tension in the mind so that the individual could rise from the bondage of myths and ambiguous thinking.
