There are some books you think you will read immediately you have them, but something will just happen along the line that would make the book sleep all weeks, months and years on your bookshelf. The Law of Wealth by Iheanyi Ejiogu was that kind of book for me. What I learnt from the book when I finally picked it up to read comes new to me every day, not all MONEY BOOKS will teach you what can be thought for millions of naira with just thousands of naira. The laws in the book are very practical and simple to work with.
I listen to this audio message by Pastor Sam Adeyemi for two months, The Principles of Money. The message changed my mind set on money, I stopped praying for money after I finished listen to it. You will do the same because the grace to act on the things the speaker shared in the message will come on you, you will be empowered to move. He said something about saving and ideas, how they both work together to make your idea a reality.
I have had about it while in Sunday school, a story of young man that his name was associated with pain. Recently, a friend told me how powerful this book is and how it worked for her but that didn't pick my interest until another Muslim friend asked me to get the book The Prayer of Jabez by Bruce Wilkinson for her. That was when I went in share for the book but what I got was the video, the anchor of the book and video is from 1 Chronicles 4 vs. 10 that says; “Jabez cried out to the God of Israel, “Oh, that you would bless me and enlarge my territory! Let your hand be with me, and keep me from harm so that I will be free from pain.” And God granted his request.” You need to read the book or watch the video, it will minister to you.
God's Not Mad At You by Joyce Meyer, this is the book that broke the fear and opened me up to the truth about what God is saying about my sin and His heart toward me.

It’s your time to walk out of doubt, worries, fear and step into God’s purpose for your life, this book helped me and millions of people I recommended it for, it’s your time to be FREE get a copy. I did a video review of the book with my friend Deji, you can check it out on YouTube.

This book is not just my Best Book from United State, it’s also my Best Book for the year 2015, ‘Outliers’ by Malcolm Gladwell. It will be a crime if this book is not no my Top List of BEST 2015 Books, the author didn't just write to inform, he writes to entertain and to let you know about History. Among other things I enjoyed from the book is where he talked about the principle of 10,000 hours, some of the successful people around me practiced and shared this same rule.
