Win at Wealth offers guidance and inspiration to help you realize your financial goals and unlock your true wealth potential.

Many Christians have yet to grasp the scope and magnitude of God''s grace found in the death and resurrection of His Son, Jesus Christ. This lack of understanding may be one of the key reasons why many in the church fail to comply with God''s calling to follow in the footsteps of Christ and perform the miracles He prophesied. Understanding the differences between our spirit and the flesh is another crucial step in our understanding of God''s amazing grace. Author Scott Johnson leads the reader through Scripture to drive this pivotal point home. Once Satan has failed to prevent an individual from becoming born again, the author of all lies exploits the ignorance of the newly saved in an attempt to prevent them from living a victorious life free from condemnation. Propelled by God''s Word, Scott/the author shares a wealth of personal revelations that led him to discover the richness of God''s grace and the fullness of His undeserved favor toward us.

Everyone has a dream and a desire to make a difference. Unfortunately, life all too often comes crashing in and we end up forfeiting our dreams for a variety of reasons, some financial. Crowdfund 2.0 provides a pathway to recapturing that passion with the knowledge and tools to create all the money you need for whatever is important to you. Not only will you be introduced to the potential of crowdfunding you will also be introduced to a new and exciting approach that changes the focus. Typically, projects are very much self focused but the new 2.0 method is revolutionary because it is now about empowering others. Crowdfunding is a global phenomenon! The big names in Crowdfunding have been GoFundme, Kickstarter, and Indegogo, and there are hundreds of others. While these have all been proven to work, there are some very real drawbacks. One drawback is that they only use one method of raising funds. A method known as Direct Funding which places you in the the role of a beggar were you are asking for help from others, or like a peddler who sells candy bars or cookies. Crowdfund 2.0 introduces an entirely new approach that makes you a solution provider. It is revolutionary in that it focuses on the needs, wants and desires of others rather than yourself. And as a result, your needs, wants and desires are funded. This book opens a world of new opportunities that will impact your life as well as others in your community.

"We''ve been facing a critical tipping point in Florida''s property insurance market. Scott''s detailed examination and informative reporting led to comprehensive reform that will benefit consumers in a big way. I believe Florida is on its'' way to recovery and applaud Scott for his tireless work in illuminating the issue so thoroughly and articulately." Senator Jim Boyd, Chairman Senate Banking and Insurance Committee "Scott''s detailed and informative chronicles brought needed visibility--impacting critical legislation that benefited consumers and the industry. I was amazed at the documentation and depth he provided of the Strems case, every step of the way. I was always anxious to read each new chapter." Barry Gilway, former President & CEO, Citizens Property Insurance Corporation "There is no doubt the reform actions taken by the Legislature will be effective in resolving the myriad of issues Scott identified. Though the accomplishments may happen later than they should, hopefully not too late to prevent a collapse of the industry. I am glad Scott documented this journey for others to learn and make the difficult decisions." Senator Doug Broxson, Chairman Senate Appropriations Committee

What happens when a father asks his son to lie for the greater good? Growing up, Scott Johnson always suspected that his dad was different. Only as a teenager did he discover the truth: his father was a spy, one of the CIA’s most trusted officers. And, as Scott came to realise, his father had been living a double life for so long that his lies were hard to separate from the truth. When an adult Scott embarked on a career as a war correspondent, he found himself returning to many of the troubled countries of his youth. In the dusty streets of Pakistan and Afghanistan, amid the cold urbanity of Yugoslavia, and down the mysterious alleys of Mexico City, he came face to face with his father’s murky past — and his own complicity in it. The Wolf and the Watchman is a provocative, meditative reckoning on truth, deception, and manipulation, and the fidelities we owe to ourselves and to our families.
