Book Description
The Extravagant Fool is an underdog narrative. Readers will have a front row seat to Kevin Adams’s breathtaking story—one that builds chronologically through a very difficult four-year period. At the height of financial success, Kevin Adams had it all. A thriving business with more work than he could get to, investments spread out between luxury homes, commercial real estate, and new business ventures. However, by January 2009, over the course of the last 100 days of 2008, Kevin watched in silent amazement as he lost it all. His house of cards came tumbling down. Kevin had a choice: Do what he had always done—work harder. Or, let go of conventional thinking and learn to live by absolute faith in God. With foreclosures, lawsuits, potential homelessness, and his family looking to him for immediate answers, Kevin took the radical position of stopping every effort to survive and resting instead at the feet of Jesus. The process of living literally by faith is a gamble and one that only The Extravagant Fool for God is willing to take. The Extravagant Fool is about encountering God with an uncommon intimacy. Intimacy increases our ability to discern His voice, which leads to the revelation of who we are, what we are to do for Him on earth, and finally, the provision to carry it out. Yet none of this really takes hold without first hearing the kind of living, breathing, testimony offered by The Extravagant Fool, a man who staked his welfare—and future—entirely on the goodness of God.
A Social History of the Fool
Author: Sandra Billington
Publisher: Faber & Faber
ISBN: 0571299997

Languages : en
Pages : 160
Book Description
Who is the Fool and what does he mean to us? Pre-1900 scholars thought him a Renaissance fashion, a continental import of note in the British Isles only between 1486 and the 1630s, per his appearances in Shakespeare's plays. However, as Sandra Billington shows in this pioneering study, the Fool has been with us from medieval times and has worn many guises: village idiot and sophisticated comedian, embodiment of Satan and God's own jester. He has managed, as Billington notes, 'to inspire or infect our thinking for at least eight hundred years'.

Principled Principles for Financial Prosperity
Author: Michael A. Abiodun
Publisher: WestBow Press
ISBN: 1512793035
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 74
Book Description
The ultimate purpose of Principled Principles for Financial Prosperity is to create financial consciousness in the reader with a view of making the readers break even and remain at the top, irrespective of any ill or positive wind sweeping across the corridors of the financial arena. It is equally a purpose objective of this book to provide information that can enhance informed decisions, offering readers the realization that it is far better to be a reflexive finance pro-actor than to be a subsequent finance reactor and awaken its readers to the reality that money, its management, and its handling do not need face value understanding. The point here is that there are mysteries surrounding money whose deeper understandings are most necessary. The application of these understandings would shape the readers attitude to money, spending, and management.
