What our readers think
Readers find this title to be a wonderful and practical book full of great insight and inspiration. It is recommended by many and came at the right time for some readers. However, there are some negative aspects such as recorded announcements from the publisher and a lack of mention of salvation through Jesus Christ. Overall, this book is fantastic and worth reading or listening to.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5This is a wonderful and practical book full of great insight and inspiration. The writings and the writer themselves worthy of 20 ☆s, however I give THIS audio book 3 because of recorded announcements from the publisher at all the beginnings and ends of each chapter.

- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5This book gives what sounds like great biblical wisdom but it speaks nothing of salvation through Jesus Christ. So it seems like the words of Jesus she quotes will Always give prosperity, that is not true. I have to stop listening.
