God Wants Me to Prosper

By Tyrone D. Jones

When God spoke to me about preaching a series of messages on
prosperity, I searched the Internet highway for all the books I could find
about prosperity. As I searched through the various books online, none
of them seemed to line up with what God was sharing with me about
prosperity. Even though I did not feel that the books I found via my
research were what I was being led to teach, I purchased several of them
hoping that there would be something that I had missed while reading
the index and the cover. My pastor told me on several occasions that a
person should be able to look at the cover of a book and get a good idea
whats inside the book.

Book Reviews

This is a great book and an easy read. It captures the attention of the reader and takes him or her on a prosperous journey that is filled with real life examples that everyone and anyone can easily relate to.

- Charlene Jones

Great book! This book was truly a blessing to me. I realized the week before reading this book that my expectation level of God was not really on the level that it should be. After realizing that and reading your book, my life will never be the same.

- Denise Jones

This book is user friendly, supportive, a new solution to an age old problem, and written with the care of the soul in mind. Anyone who reads this book will learn how the soul prospers and can become a treasure of godly wealth.

- Pastor, Sherman Gray Jr.

This book provides an extraordinary perspective of prosperity that is contrary to mainstream teachings. It was refreshing for me to receive a message that focuses more on a relationship with God rather than on ways to achieve material wealth. Thanks for being bold enough to help me prosper to eternity.

- Keith Manning

Acknowledgments

First and foremost, I acknowledge and thank God, whom I serve. He is truly an awesome and wonderful god. When I think of how awesome He is, I cannot help but wonder why someone as awesome as He would speak to someone such as me. I am listed as the author of this book, but

I must admit that I am not the author; I am only the writer. All glory and honor belongs to God and God alone.

I thank my wife, Charlene (better known as Honey), who continues to encourage me to reach higher heights and deeper depths. I am so thankful to God for allowing Honey to come into my life.

I thank my seven children and extended family. I have learned so much from all of just by being in your presence. I thank God for every moment (the good and the not so good) that we have shared. Special thanks go out to my mother, Emma Faye. The thing I like most about my mom is that she has the ability to make us believe that we can do almost anything. No matter how big or small the task, she makes us believe that we can do it. Because of you, mother, I can say, I did it.

To my pastor and good friend, Sherman Gray Jr., I say thank you. You allowed me to stand on your shoulders that I might be able to see beyond the horizon. All my days, you will remain a blessing to me.

I thank Shona Wilson, who was one of my supervisors at Lyondell. Shona encouraged me to take additional writing classes to improve my writing skill. At that time, it was thought as a way to help me on the job. Who would have guessed that taking the class would compel me to write a book?

I thank the Zion Hill Praise Center family for allowing me the honor and privilege to grow and develop into the pastor that I am today. I also thank you for listening to the earlier versions of this book and for encouraging me to put in print.

Finally, I thank the proofreaders who took my scribble and turned it into a book, and Xlibris for all of the assistance to make my dream a reality.
