Title: The Bankrupt Spirit: Principles for Turning Setbacks into Comebacks Author: Vivi Monroe Congress Publisher: Little Light Productions, LLC ISBN: 0-9748020-0-x Genre: Inspirational/Nonfiction/Spiritual Growth
The Bankrupt Spirit shows Christian readers the true value of their lives. Based on Jeremiah 1:10, the author looks at the causes of spiritual bankruptcy and gives some Biblical teaching on how to develop a positive and fruitful account. Financial terms are creatively used, which connects these concepts vividly in readers’ minds.
Written in an engaging and upbeat style, the strategies are clearly outlined. Using the principles set forth in Jeremiah, readers are encouraged to root out and pull down negative influences, before building up and establishing spiritual health and power the Lord’s way. There is a very orderly flow to this book, with each chapter beginning with an appropriate Scripture verse. Also scattered throughout the book are inspirational quotes, dovetailing beautifully with the various points the author makes.
The author’s knowledge of the Bible, combined with her training in psychology, gives this book a contemporary blend of the sacred and the secular. To achieve the goal of spiritual well being, readers are encouraged to use prayer, meditation and visualization. There is also an interactive element within these pages, including an emotional intelligence test as well as a financial planning worksheet.
The book is highly motivational, with its purpose being to release people from whatever type of bondage they are in, whether it’s grief, debt, drugs, or something else. There is a real feeling of caring throughout, which is certain to be felt by all readers.
The author believes the key to realizing your dreams is knowledge. Readers will be gloriously reminded that they are children of the King, with all the rich benefits that entails.
The Bankrupt Spirit is wealth for your body, soul and mind, written for today’s contemporary audience.
