This book is a presentation of five fundamental and biblical-based principles by which God would have us live our lives. They are not original to me, only discovered by me. They came out of a nine-hour seminar that had been developed in the 1980s. It is organized by each individual principle along with several chapters which illustrate how these principles can be applied to our financial circumstances.
To illustrate these principles, they are likened to the building of a house. Each principle represents a step in the process of building a house. At the end of each principle, as well as each chapter, there is a personal application which I hope will help people apply that principle/chapter to their personal lives.
The book is organized from start to finish on the concept that we are human beings created by a God who have given us a plan by which to live our lives, a plan that goes beyond the materialistic focus of most people in the world today. It is a book for persons who are willing to discover how God can direct their financial lives to be fulfilled according to His plan, which in turn will provide them with a level of fulfillment that can only be found by following His plan.
About the author
During David’s youth, he attended as many as 11 different schools during his 12-years in elementary and high school, living in a number of states before moving to Oregon. He also served 4 years in the US Navy, which included a trip to Australia. When separated, he enrolled at the University of Oregon, where he eventually graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Education, with a minor in Accounting.
In December of 1974, David married Judy Robertson. They have 2 sons (now in their 30’s), one of whom is married and lives in Portland, Oregon. The other son lives in Springfield, Oregon. Judy died at the relatively young age of 56 resulting from a very aggressive ovarian cancer which came with almost no warning.
In the year 1975, David established a financial counseling program under the umbrella of Christian Family Services (initially known as Christian Family Institute). David Ortega, Executive Director at the time, required that David find the biblically-based principles upon which this ministry was to be based. Within 2 weeks, God revealed the 5 principles to David which guided the focus of this ministry.
