King Solomon's Secrets to Success, Wealth, and Happiness

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

After Steven Scott flunked out of six jobs in his first four years after college, his best friend, Gary Smalley, offered one simple suggestion that would transform his life: study a chapter in Proverbs every day. Two years later, using the amazing strategies he gleaned from Solomon, Scott started a small company with a partner. Within six months, their business was making over a million dollars a week. In the years since, they have built more than a dozen multimillion-dollar companies. In addition, by applying the wisdom of Proverbs to his personal life, Scott restored his relationship with his estranged wife.

In this life-changing book, Scott reveals Solomon's hidden treasuresβ€”often-overlooked wisdom for achieving breakthrough success in one's work, health, marriage, and relationship with God. Readers will discover how to:

  • master life's most important skill
  • achieve extraordinary success in business, finance, and marriage
  • resolve and win any conflict
  • overcome the most destructive force in relationships
  • prevent the single greatest cause of financial loss

The Richest Man Who Ever Lived powerfully and practically equips readers to apply Solomon's inspired wisdom to accomplish their business, relational, and spiritual purposes.
