On a sunny summer day at the seashore, when everything was going as good as it gets, suddenly the sky fell in. Tragedy struck the family. The youngest son goes off on his own, enters an empty church, and sees a collection plate sitting on a little square tables in the middle of the aisle. The plate was empty, but the lad was drawn to it as though the plate beckoned him to look for something beyond his years. The lad drops a quarter into the plate, triggering events which changed the rest of life. Thus began an investment in God, a lifetime portfolio of faith that grew with the usual ups and downs, with highs as high as miracles of healing and an angelic visit and lows as low as flunking out of college and wasting his wife's inheritance. The reader will be amazed to see how God, as the Supreme Investment Counselor, guided this investor through awesome spiritual adventures.
