    About this ebook

    Freedom is a powerful force that resonates with men and women of all countries. Millions flock to the shores of the United States to experience this elusive thing we call freedom. Yet, even as we die to defend the freedom we dearly love, most of us are not free. Far too many are saddled under the burdens of debt and pressured to take jobs they do not want or like...just to survive. This is not freed
    Mason Weaver understands freedom from a unique perspective. In this book, you will come to understand that freedom is not free and that with freedom comes responsibility. You will want it for you and your family. You will desire it for your friends and acquaintances.
    Imagine being able to wake up whenever you want; go wherever you desire, help those in need and contribute substantially to the society in which you live. Imagine having no debt. No financial worries, yet plenty of financial power.
    If you stopped working tomorrow, you will know soon enough how much freedom is worth. Mason talks about being a slave to bad jobs, low wages and a lifetime of imprisonment to debt. He also talks about how to escape this burden and live your life the way God would want you to live...wanting for naught.
    If you dare to be free, begin by taking hold of this book...the Rope.

      Introduction

      I am often accused of being controversial in my writings about certain subjects. But when these people use the word controversial to describe my writings, it usually means I hold an opinion they disagree with. It does not matter what the subject, I get the same response: I am either invited to Love it or Leave it, or accused of being insensitive to others. Some attribute my success to being either lucky or blessed. These people never call me hard working, talented, self-starting, or intelligent. If I defend American values and capitalism, I am accused of being blind to the successes of socialism. Well, they are right about that one; socialism has been a dismal failure everywhere it has been tried. My opinions are often met with criticism of my motives, but never my intellect. I usually ignore people who try to change my opinions. However, this is the new kinder and gentler Mason Weaver, so I will try to clarify some thing about success..

      I do not belong to a sub-multicultural group. I am not an endangered species. I am not a pet of the government. I do not belong to the black race; I belong to the race of Christ.

      These are my beliefs and my opinions. Therefore, all of you people who 1) suggest that everyone should keep an open mind; 2) preach tolerance; and 3) constantly stress the need for diverse points of view should really love me. I present a great opportunity for you to practice what you preach. However, if your tolerance and respect for my opinions is determined by how much you agree with them, then your respect is not worth a dime. But there I go again, being insensitive.
