I did not read in the recent years a book that included so many fundamental truths and so many clear explanations to fundamental issues in life, as this book does. Rabbi Daniel Lapin is an avid boater and sailed his family from Los Angeles to Honolulu in the summer on their own 44 foot sailing cutter. As the family grew, the Lapins switched to calmer waters, boating in the San Juan and Gulf Islands in Washington State and British Columbia. Rabbi Lapin is an incredibly proud father and rejoices every year that his children arrange their work schedules to be able to spend time with their parents on the water. Book in one sentence: The “Ten Commandments” to becoming a wealthy person without losing your soul. The most significant point I discovered from reading this book, is one of the main points in the Never Retire chapter. The author explain there that runners keep on running the fastest they can until they actually pass the finish line, and only then they start slowing down. This is one of the author’s explanations why if one holds in mind a retiring date, he’ll start slowing down several years before that date. I was always wondering why I reach my goals only up to about 70-80% of them, but almost never 100% of them. When I’ve read the aforementioned explanation it blew my mind. This was actually my problem.. I was so close to my goal that I started slowing down; this was the common denominator of all my almost-reached goals during the last several years. Now I know what I have to do: Run full force until the finish line is crossed, then think about slowing down. Common sense and simple, but widely ignored. The Ten Commandments for Making Money Series is the best series on money and success on the CFF blog.

Thou Shall Prosper by Rabbi Daniel Lapin | Waterstones

But no weapon will be able to hurt you; you will have an answer for all who accuse you. I will defend my servants and give them victory." The LORD has spoken. There’s more to making money than a simple transaction. You must build relationships to make money—whether personal, business to business, or even on a “brand” level. Giving value, being skilled, and finding opportunities are components of wealth. These qualities simply scratch the surface. These are the spiritual qualities of money, the things that you express that are valuable—optimism, integrity, ingenuity, and more.Behold, they shall surely gather together, but not by me: whosoever shall gather together against thee shall fall for thy sake. Rabbi Daniel Lapin is an author, speaker, and TV host. He immigrated to the United States from South Africa after studying mathematics, physics, and economics in Israel and the United Kingdom.

This is one reason that gold became a method of monetization. On its own, it has no intrinsic value.Yet we’ve interpreted the scriptures in a way that makes gold valuable to us. But put forth thine hand now, and touch his bone and his flesh, and he will curse thee to thy face. Alas, the tumult of many peoples; they rage like the roaring seas and clamoring nations; they rumble like the crashing of mighty waters.

The company has started a division that provides low-cost consultation services to non-profit organizations. Company employees have the option of leaving the for-profit sector of the business to work in the non-profit sector, and many choose to do so even though they have to take 20 to 80 percent pay cuts. This time in the non-profit sector is called a “morally uplifting break” (51), with the not-so-subtle indication that the for-profit sector is morally tainted. “If such sophisticated professionals can fall victim to this sad mistake, I must assume that on some level everyone is being subtly indoctrinated” (51). Lapin challenges ten ideas that many people seem to hold. Such as money is bad. Money itself is not bad, it's what we do with it. I know this is something I heard many times as I was growing up. I heard the Scripture of I Timothy 1:6 MISquoted to say "Money is the root of all evil", but if you read it in context it says "The LOVE of money is the root of all evil." That's a huge difference. Rabbi Lapin explains why money is neither moral nor immoral -- it just *is*. I will not suffer any weapon formed against thee to prosper; and every voice that shall rise up against tee for judgment, thou shalt vanquish them all; and thine adversaries shall be condemned thereby. There is an inheritance to them that serve the Lord, and ye shall be righteous before me, saith the Lord. Intelligence doesn’t necessarily lead to more money.
