What Is Our Net Worth in the Eyes of God?


Book Description

So many individuals go through life while never putting a thought to the value God puts on each and every one of us. For that matter, many don’t even put a value on themselves at all. It was after interviewing many people and challenging them with the question “What is our net worth in the eyes of God?” that I realized that most people didn’t know how to answer this question. Most of the answers varied depending on the very diversified lives of every individual. This book is intended to help open our eyes and minds to a point that we can realize our worth in the eyes of God to a point that we will know how much we are worth to God first, but then to ourselves. That because we are created by God, we are unique and special. We must be prepared to make changes and learn to prioritize our lives. Instead of being followers, be pioneers. We are very valuable in the eyes of God!

Money pervades all aspects of our lives; however, our past pervades all areas of our money. I was already married with a family when I found out how my childhood fears influenced my financial decisions. Looking back I remember my father as a mans man. Standing at six foot four, he was an imposing figure. He had a narcissistic personality which both attracted people to him and made people fear him. As a child, each evening when the sound of my fathers footsteps reached our front porch, one of us children would yell, Run! Katherine Paterson, national ambassador for Young Peoples Literature, said that a childs heart is a resilient thing. Bend in out of shape and it bends back but rough it up too much and it develops ruts. My heart had developed deep ruts, and for most of my life when I felt fear, I ran. This is a book about how I stopped running.
