“This has to be the most balanced and useful summary of this topic I have come across. The clarity of his thinking and explanations of what Scripture teaches is to be highly commended and should be used widely to educate God’s people about the issue of money, wealth and the Kingdom benefits that should accrue for this wise teaching. I look forward to reports of the wide use of this book and reports of God’s blessings on its use.”

Miracle Mornings: Volume 1: 31 Days of Declarations and Devotions

Following in the success of his three-part series,“Life is a Test: Hope in a Confusing World,” Dr. S. R. Watkins has written a daily devotional about the power of the spoken Word of God. Align yourself with God’s plans for your life – to prosper you – (Jer. 29:11) and then decree those plans and His Words back to God. Why? Because God said that His Word will not come back to Him void but will accomplish what He sends it to do (Is. 55:11). “Life and death are in the power of the tongue” (Prov. 18:21) so decree life over yourself! This book will show you how.

“This book is great, rooted in the word of God, get your mind, focussed on declaring what God says about what you were facing instead of declaring your problems.” – Lorna Faith, Red Deer, Alberta

“I have used a lot of different types of devotional books of the course of my Christian life, but this one “takes the cake.” It’s exciting to open the book each morning and find out what the author is written about on a given day. It’s quite invigorating! Definitely five stars!” – George Thomson, Santa Clara, California
