I dedicate this book to my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Without His presence and His Word working in my life, this book would not be possible.

I also dedicate this book to my wonderful wife, Sandi.
It has been her faith in God, contented spirit, and generous heart that have allowed us to discover and live out the truths in this book.

I have always appreciated the wisdom of the saying, When all else fails, read the instructions.

We live in a time when lots of things are shaking and more and more things are failing. We are at a unique time in American history and our personal history when we need real help, real hope, and real answers for the day-to-day realities were facing. We live in a financial and work world that is experiencing rapid and unprecedented changes.

Americans have spent years building financial houses that now resemble sand castles on the beach. For a long time many of our sand castles looked beautiful and kept getting bigger in the sunshine of the day. But strong ocean tides beyond our personal control are beginning to move in and our sand castles are beginning to crack and dissolve.

Jesus said in Matthew 7:2427,

Everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock. But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash.
