A Practical Guide to Prosperous Living
J Douglas Bottorff
Preface
Since its first publication in 1998, A Practical Guide to Prosperous Living has found its way into thousands of homes across the country and abroad. I have received much enthusiastic input from readers who tell me these ideas have helped them make positive, life-enhancing changes because they dared to be true to themselves and begin following their dreams. I am pleased to report that this newly revised edition contains all the core ideas of its predecessor with some further enhancements and insights gleaned both from reader feedback and from ten additional years of life experience. I have added a few new illustrations and removed some that are no longer relevant. In addition to these changes, I have included the program Total Prosperity in Twenty-Eight Days as a practical tool designed to assist you in incorporating many of these ideas into your daily life. Jesus said, “You are the light of the world.” My vision is that this new edition of A Practical Guide to Prosperous Living touches you in a way that helps you become a greater radiating force of good at every level of your life.

Reviews
A Little Book Filled with Big Messages Massachusetts This is one of the best books I have ever read on how to really get to know your true self. It lives up to its title of being a "practical guide" by explaining why you never really solve your problems by looking outside yourself for the solutions, while at the same time providing you with specific instructions on how to put the principles described in the book into action. It is a small book that is well written and yet so packed with information that I found it best to read it in small sections and to really let each chapter sink in before continuing on with the next.
Deep and Thoughtful California If you are having some questions about the direction of your life and how to think out your situation I would recommend this book. There are several religious references but don't let that get in the way of the message. I am non-religious and found it to be quite helpful.
Beautiful! Egypt For a self-help (audio) book, 'beautiful' is not always used to describe such. But I can't resist myself from writing this review because "A Practical Guide to Prosperous Living" is simply beautiful. The lessons are not preachy, instead, the book flows like an advice from a 'father' or 'grandfather', a figure whom I can respect and believe easily. This book is loaded with stories and advice one can use to prosper.
Informative and Life Changing New Jersey This title is read calmly and clearly. The author approaches the topic of self-improvement with the grace and confidence of a master. If you have absorbed other self-improvement titles and have gotten varied results, this title will explain why, and guide you towards your true goal. It contains several references to biblical stories, but only to help illustrate its points. Well, worth the listen and motivating in its efforts.
Michigan “I continue to receive strong spiritual sustenance from your two books: A Practical Guide to Meditation and Prayer & A Practical Guide to Prosperous Living. I have been a tither for several years and the knowledge in your books is just what I need to hear at this time. Equally wonderful is the way that the universe works. Please accept the enclosed tithe in grateful acknowledgement of the knowledge, guidance, and spiritual support your work has provided me.”
Ohio “I led a Prosperity Workshop at the church I am pioneering, this past October. To help the workshop participants stay focused on their goals in the weeks afterward, I decided to follow the workshop with a prosperity class. Our text for the class was your book, A Practical Guide to Prosperous Living. |
