2,000 Percent LIVING

From the Back Cover

After thinking about the possible contents for the
book over several weeks, I was surprised to be
awakened at 1:30 a.m. on May 19, 2009, by a voice
that dictated to me in great detail what should be
in this book. This dictation continued for many
hours and finally paused for me to begin asking
clarifying questions, which were then answered.
The instruction lasted over six hours.

From that experience, I believe that by writing
this book I am merely serving as a fleshly vehicle
for a message from the Holy Spirit that is intended
for all people on Earth. I pray that I have been
faithful and accurate in sharing with you what I
was directed to write.

This is a book about fruitfulness, about how to
accomplish more of what God intends. For your
willing contributions to those fruitful results,
He will reward you in heaven.

Would you like to understand Godly ways that
have led some Christians to enjoy life more, to
accomplish so much that they amazed themselves,
to have lots more free time, to be with loved ones
more often, and to earn a living in less time and
with less effort? When it is God’s will, those are
some of the potential benefits that 2,000 percent
solution living may offer you.

Acknowledgments

Oh, give thanks to the LORD!
Call upon His name;
Make known His deeds among the peoples!

— 1 Chronicles 16:8 (NKJV)

I thank Almighty God, our Heavenly Father, for creating
the universe and all the people on the Earth; our Lord
and Savior, Jesus Christ, for providing the way for us to
gain Salvation; and the Holy Spirit for guiding our daily
paths towards repentance and righteousness. I also
humbly acknowledge the perfect guidance I received
from God through His Holy Spirit to write this book.

I am grateful to Bishop Dale P. Combs of Jubilee Worship
Center in Hobart, Indiana, for generously reviewing all of
the writing in the book for its consistency with the Bible.
Bishop Combs’s comments greatly helped me to be sure
that I was acting in one accord with the Lord’s purposes.
This is the third book I have authored or coauthored
that Bishop Combs has improved for Biblical accuracy.
His continual encouragement for the book’s writing made
work easier and more pleasant.

Let me also thank Assistant Pastor Scott Richardson of
Calvary Chapel in the City in Boston, Massachusetts, for
reviewing the Introduction and suggesting that I add
the theme of fruitfulness to help Christians more clearly
understand the book’s focus.

I would like to express my gratitude to my family for
allowing me the time and peace to work on such a huge
and awe-inspiring project for God. They made many
sacrifices without complaining and were a continual
inspiration.

I appreciate my many clients who held off on their
demands for my help so that this project could receive
the attention it required over more than four years.
Their financial support also made it possible for me to
give this time to the Lord and to invest in the expenses
required to make this book available.

Finally, I am most appreciative of the many fine
improvements that the editor, Bernice Pettinato, made
in the text. This is the tenth book where she has helped
me to make the messages clearer and more pleasant to
read. As always, she was a delight to work with. Her
kindness made the writing much easier. I value all she
has taught me about writing.

I accept sole responsibility for any remaining errors and
apologize to my readers for any inconvenience that they
cause.
