Poverty, Riches, and Wealth: Moving From a Life of Lack into True Kingdom Abundance By Kris Vallotton Book Review

In Poverty, Riches, and Wealth, Kris Vallotton discussed the topic of prosperity and how many believers are suffering from limitation and they don’t believe they will ever rise above their current level in life. He opened up about how in his own life he lost his father at a young age and they had to rely on social welfare programs to get by and they were poor. Later in life, he and his wife also owned nine businesses and he would warn his children about the dangers of wealth and he still struggled with his poverty mindset. They eventually became pastors at Bethel Church and they were being financially blessed and he admitted to struggling with feeling like people were judging them for how they were being blessed. He shared that someone helped pay off his house. He wrote this book to guide readers in tapping into the Kingdom’s wealth. This includes believing in the impossible and believing God is able to exceptional things, and believing that God will give you the resources to help bless others. 

I would recommend this amazing book to anyone who is ready to move out of a spirit of lack and they are ready to believe for better things. I liked how the book went over how God sees us and how we are His son or daughter and we are seated next to Him at His table. He also shared how we need to ask for forgiveness and receive His forgiveness. Vallotton looked at how we see ourselves affects our view on poverty and prosperity. He also explored how we have to have the capacity to receive our blessings and he uses the story of the three men who all received different amounts of talents and how two of them invested and one man buried his money. He shared that the faithfully was blessed and they prospered. If you’re looking for a new book about prosperity, then read this book!
