Good on scripture, lacking on details
"Becoming a Millionaire God's Way" is an interesting book that takes on the assumption that Christians are to be poor. Author Thomas Anderson (NOT Robert Kiyosaki) examines the assumption and breaks it down through inspection of scripture.

I found Anderson to have some insightful thoughts regarding some of the famous money passages such as the "Camel and the Eye of the Needle" and the "Deny Yourself" passages. By inspecting the context of each of those passages, Anderson shows that the destiny for every Christian is to live an abundant life. And while that is our destiny, we must take the journey ourselves to receive that gift.

Here is where the trail goes cold. Anderson offers some good advice regarding what needs to be done to become prosperous financially, but offers no real specific practical advice other than making a budget and balancing your checkbook. I also would have liked to seen Anderson state where you can start your financial education journey (such as how to find out what type of investor you are, where to go to get more information about investments, etc) but really the reader is left to figure it out for themselves.

This is a great book for churches to help dispel the myth that Christians must live in poverty in order to be a "good" Christian. It does a fantastic job to show supporting scripture that Christians are to live a prosperous life. However, there is little to no specific advice regarding what to do after coming to that conclusion other than "learning more". I would recommend this book if you want to find out more about what the Bible has to say about financial prosperity, but not if you actually want to learn about investing. 3 out of 5 stars.

Book was OK
This book was ok. It wasn't terrible nor was it great. It's basically saying that God wants us to be wealthy and multiply. The author supports this thought with biblical scriptures. What I got out of the book:

1. You should know what you're worth--the equity in your home, all your assets, etc to determine your net worth.

2. You should read books on investing, become adept in basic accounting and taxes. Learn about book keeping and buying stocks. Buy low, sell high. Invest 10% of your income. Buy property that increases in value. Buy the cheapest house in the richest neighbourhood. When you buy a home, by the fifth year your house peaks in price, so this is the best time to sell.

3. You must tithe as well as give an offering.

4. Stop buying liabilities.

5. You must have discipline and focus in whatever you do

6. Read the book of Proverbs daily

7. Have a good work ethic. Don't be a quitter.

Not Just Hype!
Contrary to what some people may think, this book is NOT just another "name it, claim it" book from a prosperity preacher. Dr. Anderson does far more than simply hype you up; but he truly gives you practical and easy to integrate strategies. More important is the fact that he establishes a firm foundation for the biblical reasons for obtaining great wealth - hence the "...God's Way" in the title. Even if you think all that "prosperity stuff" is not for you, I encourage you to read this book. It is one of the few I've seen with the scriptural backing and common sense logic that might just change your mind.
