Banks defaulting, stocks plummeting, businesses downsizing and government debt rising as families face foreclosures, shrinking ROI on retirememt funds, unemployment and threats to Medicare and Social Security. Small wonder we've lost faith in financial institutions, corporate America and government. No one understands this cycle more than Mike and Joan Porter. You could call them the typical "All American" couple living the American Dream. They went to college, got married, landed professional positions in prestigious corporations, bought a new house furnished expensive furniture, had the average 2.5 kids, drove fancy cars, dressed well, took family vacations....in other words they were in hock up to their eyeballs To look at Mike and Joan, no one would suspect that these fine upstanding Christians have a dirty little secret. They go to church every Sunday, serve on various church boards and attend prayer meetings but they are living a lie. God tells them to do something and they choose to ignore or outright disobey Him for more than 30 years. As a matter of fact, they decide to put their fate in the hands of a new god who enters their lives and promises to not only rescue them from the clutches of financial ruin, but make them prosperous beyond their wildest imagination. And right at the point when they assume their personal finances are about to make a majhor turnaround God intervenes and asks them to do something so crazy they're convinced He has surly lost His mind. Their gut wrenching decision to follow God's advice comes a few short months before a shocking event occurs that takes the entire world by surprise and creates a year-long media frenzy. They become only spectators as the impossible occurs and the great god they once thought held their future security topples in infamy and hi name...the name ENRON becomes synonymous with corporate corruption and criminal misconduct. How the Porters receive a miracle debt-busting breakthrough during one of the biggest scandals in American history makes for a gripping real life example of God's provision for anyone who is willing to follow His principles of seedtime and harvest and step on the throat of a devouring monster. This is their "WHERE THE RUBBER HITS THE ROAD" story told in a dramatic non-fiction style that captures the reader's attention because of the author's transparency and humor. Yes, this story is about tithing, but not in any way the world has heard before. It's a fresh new approach to an ancient principle conceptualized in a way that makes it possible for readers to apply this concept to their individual situations.
