What if everything you think about money is wrong?

Most of us believe that the more we have the richer we become. This is an age-old assumption considered as true as the law of gravity. Thousands of books have offered steps, formulas, makeovers, investment guides, motivational stories and philosophies to set the non-rich on the sure road to riches. But is there more to becoming rich than the accumulation of money?

The Root of Riches is bursting with insight and practical examples. This series based on the first book by Chuck Bentley, CEO of Crown Financial Ministries, will change how you think about money and transform how you live.

The Enemy will never “waste a good crisis,” so neither should we as God’s people. We can turn everyday adversity into advantage by loving others and leading them into God’s Kingdom during their time of need.

The signs are around us everyday. We are truly in times of economic hardship, and some would even say that we are hinging on an Economic Event of Biblical Proportions. The idea of preparing for hardship is a timeless concept. How can you protect your family in the midst of financial crisis?

God’s Word provides proven principles for preparing you to do well in any economic situation. The S.A.L.T. Plan™ is a culmination of those principles compiled into a practical guide that provides both biblical wisdom and sound advice to help you carefully plan for hard times, while continuing to be faithful with your God-given resources.

Easily adapted for businesses and entire church congregations in the form of group studies, we suggest that individuals and families join together within larger organizations to help support each other while implementing the various aspects of the plan. Are you ready to commit to being salt and light in a darkening world?
