    About this ebook

    In the midst of worldwide financial upheavals and economic turmoil, God is calling us to rest and spiritual soliloquy with Him. Just as Jesus saw the travail of His soul and was satisfied (Isaiah 53:11), we also must pass through travails, not edgy, but eager to do His will. I am a witness to this paradigm shift, and my personal experience is highlighted in this book.

    An eager person with a winning attitude accounts for 80 percent of the results in this country today. Its amazing that the figures dont change from year to year. They stay about the same. Twenty percent of the people are getting 80 percent of the result.
