Plot

Do you believe you were made to prosper? What makes you feel prosperous? Is it financial security, physical security, good health, good relationships, being in control, lack of stress, or plenty of vacation time? Many people have a hard time answering these questions because they have never really stopped to consider what prosperity is and what a truly prosperous life looks and feels like. The desire to make sense of the tension between prosperity and suffering is underlying almost every problem in life. Success is not the same as prosperity. Prosperity is bigger than success. Does God have good things for you? How do you handle evil and suffering? American Christian culture is polarized, with one camp leaning more on the prosperity theology side and another on the theology of suffering side. It is time to synergize these together and apply them to questions pertaining to our wealth and health. This book is an attempt to bring about a convergence of both a theology and understanding of prosperity and a theology and understanding of suffering, so that we may learn how to live in prosperity in a suffering world.
