God: The Financial Genius

Book Cover & Preview Text
The best way for me to relate to God sometimes is to think of Him as my grandfather, Big Daddy Flynn. This may seem a little off-kilter to some of you, but I viewed him as old and wise, even when he wasn't very old. I knew that he loved me, and he knew that I loved him. If Big Daddy were to sit me down and say that he has this big plan for my life and all I had to do was follow a few basic steps, it wouldn't be too hard for me to understand why. He loved me and wanted the best for me. If he said he would show me the way in a book he was leaving behind for me to read, I would read it to find out the plan. With that viewpoint and that approach, I would try to follow the plan.
The same is true with God. He left us His plan in the Bible, and He encourages us to follow it. Don't you know that our loving Father must get frustrated with us at times - when he is pointing the way so clearly, yet we refuse to go there or act like we don't understand. I certainly have acted this way before.

About the Book
Cynthia Flynn explores the concepts of tithing, seed time, and harvest in this book that reveals how God can bring you spiritual and physical riches.
While it may be hard to believe, when you give 10% of your salary to the church, God will take the 90% you have left and make it go further than the original 100% — a lesson that Perry Hayden and Henry Ford learned during a farming experiment in Tecumseh, Michigan.
The author did not fully comprehend this until 1984, when she heard giving expressed as a challenge. The concept intrigued her even more when she heard a pastor say that God actually wants us to test Him on this idea.
Later, Flynn discovered one of her friends who believed in tithing did so for the express purpose of getting her a job. That meant when her friend wrote out the check, she laid her hands on it and said, “This is Cynthia’s new full-time sales job (seed) that comes with a salary better than she has ever dreamed of (what it produces/harvest).”
More than thirty-five years later, the author is still tithing, setting bigger goals, and achieving them with help from the Lord.
