Most small business owners and self employed individuals are more concerned about the day to day issues of running your business rather than digging through thousands of pages of IRS publications to learn what deductions they might be entitled to on their tax returns. They also do not have the funds to hire a staff of tax attorneys to guide them through the maze known as the Internal Revenue Code. This book will be their staff of tax attorneys to guide them, and to provide them with legitimate deductions that they are entitled to take, but have not been doing so. More importantly, this book will give them methods of record keeping shortcuts designed to take less of their time, yet meet all IRS requirements. There is a lot of talk about a flat tax, and perhaps that would be a good thing. The chances of that happening anytime soon is remote, because politicians love to use (or abuse) the tax code to encourage investment, employment and other pet projects for their states.

This is not an entire book about tithing. God has more to say about finances than any other subject in the Scriptures. Most Christians only hear the sermon on tithing. There is some insight included on this subject, but I want to show you much more. I believe that God fully intends to bless us financially far more than we could ever imagine. However, we must be ready and prepared before He can bestow these blessings on us. This is why I believe He has so much to say about finances. My intention is to get you to explore God's Word and His will for YOUR life. Through prayer, counsel, and discernment you will discover what God has in store for you financially. With that being said, I also want to state in advance that this book is not an advertisement. I have no intention of selling anything to anyone, and I have tried to make sure that no company or specific product is promoted. My intentions are purely to move you to explore what God is saying to you about finances. Finally, as you will hear many times in the coming pages, there is one thing that you must come to understand and believe if you are to receive the full blessings God has in store for you. IT'S GOD'S MONEY!
