This book is about the stark contrast between the Kingdom of God and the economic, political and social systems we live by every day. The world's systems have led us down a primrose path to nowhere, encouraging the pursuit of wealth and the so-called good life while ignoring the need for a morally-based and purpose-driven approach to living. The Kingdom Life Approach provides viable and alternative strategies to how we conduct our lives to achieve true, meaningful prosperity. It establishes a purpose for living that is predicated on individual assignments and an emerging church that true believers in Christ are building. Christians must change and become emissaries and a perfected church in order for Christ's Kingdom to be seen in the earth. How we live and what we pursue in life are transformational values we must demonstrate to the world. Choosing to manage our financial affairs the Kingdom way is central to this process. Willie Thomas Butler is founder and President of Kingdom Seed Foundation and its educational division, The Life Planning Institute.
