When most people think of prosperity, financial wealth is often the first thing that comes to mind. Like Scrooge McDuck diving into a vault filled to the brim with gold and cash, many dream of riches. But real prosperity is more than financial wealth. Much more. True prosperity is a wealth of the soul. And theres no one better to walk you through this topic than Ray Edwards. Demonstrating through his own personal life and trials what it means to be wildly prosperous, this book provides a new look at a timeless roadmap for prosperity. Ray shows how you already have permission to prosper.

You know whats worse than burying your talents? Watching your talents go up in smoke because youre driving with foot on the gas and one foot on the brake. Permission to Prosper is squarely aimed at the person of faith who feels conflicted about money.
The average Christian is in a silent civil war, on one hand knowing they need to perform in work and school, yet anxious that filthy lucre will steal their heart and condemn their soul. The outcome is, most Christians are frozen. They perform quality work serving other peoples agendas, but never get ahead and never do whats truly in their own heart to do.
Ray reasons carefully through the spiritual dimensions of money and teases out deep meaning of many troubling scriptures. Permission to Prosper shows how to prosper out of strength instead of weakness; how to transform work and profit into channels of service, worship and calling.

Ray is a man who walks the walk and talks the talk. He has overcome serious obstacles in life, yet created success and prosperity despite his challenges. In Permission to Prosper he answers a question Ive often asked myself, namely Is it OK to be wealthy, or do I need to give up everything, and I mean everything, to follow Jesus? Ray supplies a much-needed answer to the question: how do we approach wealth and prosperity from a Christian perspective? If I love Jesus, does that mean I get a Rolex? Or does it mean I toil in poverty to serve the poor? Or is there something more, some deeper meaning for us in the word prosperity? Is it an invitation to live the life that Jesus promisedthe life abundant? Rays book presents a nuanced argument for the pursuit of prosperity as a spiritual practice. In a world full of charlatans and get-rich-quick schemes, Ray presents a startling premise that I find refreshing: its impossible for anyone to prosper long-term without contributing to the prosperity of others. This book will give you a real sense of peace and purpose around the subject of money, wealth, and possessions.

I LOVE this book. Ive read plenty of content about money and prosperity and they tend to be give-it-all-away-or-youre-not-spiritual or God-loves-you-so-grab-as-much-as-you-want. Neither of those are helpful for anyone. In Rays book, Permission to Prosper, I find a healthy, holistic view that resonates with my understanding of humanity and a generous, loving and self-sacrificing God. Reading the pages is a breath of fresh air that liberates and empowers me to go for it and do so by helping as many people in the process, around the process and beyond the process! Thanks Ray, this will be a book I will recommend for decades to come.

There are two things in my life that I strive to work toward everyday: deepening my relationship with God and living a truly abundant life. Permission to Prosper presents an eloquent solution to both of these aspirations. Ray shares personal stories and insights to educate the reader in a kind, informative way and it was so easy to learn and stay connected in this book. We all deserve to prosper in business and life and Permission to Prosper is the perfect book for the entrepreneur who is seeking to live abundantly as they go on their lifes journey.

When I speak in foreign countries my first question is always, Do you think marketing is evil? Ive never thought I had to ask that question in the U.S.until I read Ray Edwards Permission to Prosper. Organized religion needs a lesson in marketing for profit and Ray gives it to them in this bookwith heart and logic. His premise leaves you thinking from beginning to end. Being for profit is not a sinand in fact its something to be proud ofand the scriptures back that up. I am so glad he wrote this book to dispel any notion that making money is anything but virtuouswhen done the right way.
