There's no better source for both practical and spiritual wisdom than the time-tested knowledge found in the ancient Jewish faith and culture. In "Thou Shalt Prosper: Ten Commandments for Making Money", Rabbi Daniel Lapin offers a practical approach to creating wealth based on the established principles of Jewish tradition. A renowned business consultant and biblical scholar, Rabbi Lapin uncovers a mother lode of wisdom and guidance in Jewish scripture and practice that will increase your potential for crating wealth, no matter what your faith or background may be. Outlining ten fundamental "commandments" relating to business and money, "Thou Shalt Prosper" explores the economic and philosophic vision of business that has been part of the Jewish culture for centuries. By blending contemporary business stories and his own business experiences with the wisdom of the Torah, Talmudic prescriptions, and even examples from the Zohar (the Jewish book of mysticism), Rabbi Lapin explains the essence of each "commandment" and shows you how to use this knowledge to financially prosper. Commandments include: Believe in the Dignity and Morality of Business, Do Not Pursue Perfection, and Know Your Money. Rabbi Lapin helps you understand such concepts as "being in business for yourself"; avoiding the trappings of a "wage slave"; learning to become a leader; changing with the times; and much more. So that you can apply each principle to your life, Rabbi Lapin suggests engaging and accessible action steps to start you immediately on the path to prosperity. The principles discussed in "Thou Shalt Prosper" may stem from Jewish culture and religion, but the desire to create wealth is universal. Anyone can learn these principles, apply them, and prosper. In following these then money-making commandments, not only will you improve your life, you will also discover how business is the best way to "do good" while doing well and how you are in business regardless of how you earn your living. "Thou Shalt Prosper" will change your views of money as well as attitudes towards yourself, and help you identify the critical steps that make success possible.NOTES: Donated by Judah & Sheri Miles during the first BH book drive.

NO OF PAGES: 215 SUB CAT I: Hebrew SUB CAT II: Numerology SUB CAT III: DESCRIPTION: You may see ancient Hebrew script as two-dimensional - ink on a page. But popular scholar Rabbi Daniel Lapin brings "the Lord's language" to life, showing you how (unlike English) each Hebrew word - like a gold nugget, an exquisite jewel, or a fiber-optic cable line - contains rish 3-D messages as well. Dig for these, says the rabbi, and you'll tap into a new depth of meaning for your life today! "Closer to mathematics than language," says the author, "Hebrew is an intricately coded system of symbols describing how humans can effectively relate to one another, to their surroundings, and to God." Understand the significance of your dining room table, you neighbor's handshake - even your refuse bin! - through the symbols that represent them. Bite-sized personal stories illustrate subterranean treasures of truth that will amaze and refresh you - and draw you closer to the Genius who deposited them for your delightful discover.NOTES: Donated by Chet McBroom.
