"No matter how successful or sophisticated you may be, this remarkable work will enrich your understanding of the important, exciting process of building wealth. " --Michael Medved, nationally syndicated radio host and author The fluctuating economy proves the edict that the more things change, the greater the need for things that never change. There's no better source of both practical and spiritual financial wisdom than an ancient culture and tradition. In Thou Shall Prosper: Ten Commandments for Making Money, Rabbi Daniel Lapin offers readers an approach to gaining wealth based on the established principles of the Jewish tradition. Although Rabbi Lapin uses Jewish wisdom and Talmudic prescriptions, his message is universal. He outlines ten fundamentals focusing on modifying behavior and thought that will increase anyone's potential for creating wealth. His commandments include: Know money, specifically your own; Believe in the morality and dignity of business; and Pursue constructive partnerships and alliances.
Thou Shall Prosper uses real-life examples from past and present to illustrate Rabbi Lapin's points and suggests engaging actions to put these commandments immediately to work.
