The Great Investment: Balancing.
Faith, Family and Finance to Build a
Rich Spiritual Life by T. D. Jakes
Amazing
Bishop T.D. Jakes invites readers to pack three bags for the journey of
life: finances, family, and faith. On this three-legged stool rests his
formula for success and the basis for the book The Great Investment. His
concepts are simple, yet solid. On family: Accept your mates differences.
Compromise. Teamwork. Be grateful. On finances: Get a receipt. Learn to
distinguish between your needs and your wants. Dont waste your hard-
earned money on the lottery or games of chance; invest it instead. On
faith: Divine guidance is an invaluable resource. Without it, you are like a
sailor at sea unable to find his way because he has no compass on his
ship. Jakes is a familiar figure to many, hosting a weekly television
program on the Trinity Broadcasting Network and Black Entertainment
Television. The New York Times recently named him one of the nations
most influential ministers, and many of his books, including Woman, Thou
Art Loosed and The Lady, Her Lover, and Her Lord, have found a wide

readership. In The Great Investment, Jakes challenges Christians to
hang on to their Christian ideals, yet still build a bridge to those who live
less-than-ideal lives. He endeavors to make faith and biblical wisdom
accessible and relevant to those both inside and outside the church who
are seeking practical help for stabilizing their lives. A lofty goal, and with
his large audience, one that will hopefully succeed. --Cindy Crosby
Personal Review: The Great Investment: Balancing. Faith,
Family and Finance to Build a Rich Spiritual Life by T. D. Jakes
T. D. Jakes describes life as a journey in which some people pack more
than is necessary for the most productive trip. He wisely advises carry
three bags, faith, family, and finances. I think it is no accident that he
arranges them in that order either. Faith is needed for this life and
preparation for the next. Family is something you can take with you,
provided they share the faith and finances encompasses effective
stewardship principles that reveal what you have to show for your
existence.Although each of these subjects is familiar, Bishop Jakes sheds
new insight in each of the three arenas. He builds to a climax in his
teaching on Romans 8:28-30. It is worth the price of the book just to read
what he says in the few pages devoted to that topic alone! He will build
your faith because he speaks from the perspective of a credible source,
i.e., it's lived it.This book is comprehensive in that he covers both Old and
New Testament teachings on the topics. He includes personal
experiences. Bishop Jakes is even confident enough to be vulnerable in
places, not one who claims in a phoney way to have all the answers. His
advice is practical, doable, workable. I highly recommend this book.
