The book that dares to say wealth and faith belong together
a book every poor person should read!

Daniels answers with his life: from bricklayer to millionaire land developer, he lays out thirteen unflinching truths about what wealth really is, commitment, responsibility, power, pressure, sacrifice, and why God trusts some people with it.

From the foreword
The foreword tells it straight: a boy from a broken home who quit school at fourteen, branded illiterate by his teacher. A messenger boy, a cleaner, a milk vendor, a factory hand, then a bricklayer trying to break into the building industry. Then a night in 1959, at a Billy Graham Crusade with his wife Robina, that changed everything.
The realisation that hit the young battler was simple and seismic: if all men are equal before God, then no one need look down on him as a no hoper ever again.
“I'm the son of a King!” Peter Daniels, the motto since printed on the back of his Rolls Royce
That is the man who wrote this book: a millionaire who earns to give and to employ others in furthering the Word of God, who insists a Christian should control his money and never be controlled by it, and who freely admits his failings alongside his success. Reading how a Christian deals with wealth, the foreword concludes, is reading the Peter Daniels story.
The chapter nobody warns you about
Daniels defines a person of wealth as anyone who has more than someone else, which means this includes you. And he opens the chapter on criticism with a list most money books are too polite to print:
The stewardship clock is running whether you plan or not.
Wealth lives in the real world of obligation, not a daydream.
As certain as the other two, and the book shows you how to carry it.
Thirteen chapters, one honest definition at a time
Every chapter completes the same sentence differently, and each answer is one Daniels paid for in full before writing it down.
“How to be Happy Though Rich is not about getting, it's about giving. Read it and increase your self-worth.”Dr. Robert H. Schuller, Hour of Power Television Ministry
From the book's own endorsement pages
“Peter Daniels invested more than 50 years writing this book! How do I know? Because it is the distilled essence of his life long odyssey. I have read and reread this book. Internalise its truths. How? By space repetition, reading it at least six times. Make it your manual for maximising the resources God has given you. I immediately ordered 100 copies to give to my friends.”
“Peter Daniels has realized the truth of the parable of the ten talents; the faithful steward is entrusted with additional talents, additional opportunity, and additional responsibility.”
“In this book Peter Daniels wrestles with what many Christians confuse between riches and their faith. You will enjoy his views.”
“As his pastor at the Edwardstown Baptist Church for the last seven years, it has been my delight to observe Peter Daniels' strong and sincere support for his local church. The message of this book has been lived out among us and within his own family.”
Daniels writes verse as well as balance sheets
Life is not a dress rehearsal,
in a kaleidoscope parade,
it's a time of guts and thinking,
it is honour unafraid.
Life is not a dress rehearsal,
every day is opening night.
Now's the time to reach the goals,
now's the time to stand and fight.
The full poem opens the book, and a second, Where Are the Leaders?, closes it.
