I caught Kirbyjohn Caldwell's presentation at the Texas Book Festival in 1999. He read from his book the Gospel of Good Success, and I was blown away by his energy, his positive attitude and the message found in his book. He truly is a point of light, a spiritual leader and great community activist. I highly recommend his work!

This book is a must read! If you are struggling on how to bring some of your dreams to fruition please read this roadmap to WHOLENESS. I am not the avid reader but I was so engrossed and encouraged in his philosophy toward Holistic Salvation. the Gospel of Good Success opened my mind to new directions that I needed to begin for my journey of perservance when completing my goals. I have found new life within these 256 powerfully written words.

I read this book because of the author's skillful and articulate interview on the Bill O'Reilly televised show. I liked his demeanor and his clarity on the power of perception. His book is equally concise. He offers common sense religious avenues for dealing with the issues of today, and transforming your life. His road map covers emotions, finances, career, health, parenting. Among his six strategic steps to success is "stage a comeback". I especially liked that passage. It dissipates the perception of failure. A mistake is an opportunity to make a wiser decision the next time. If you enjoyed, Reverend Jesse Lee Peterson's "From Rage to Responsibility", and Harold Klemp's,"Secret of Love", you will glean a lot from Pastor Kirbyjon Caldwell's , "Gospel of Good Success". I did. Start working on your self-esteem and your self-confidence today. Your success is in your hands.

The Gospel of Good Success is a book that will enhance your knowledge on finding good success in every area of your life. I first learned about this book through the Essence Magazine. This book has encouraged me so that I have tried to put every principle into action in my life. I have purchased this book for several persons and they too have been inspired.

I really like this book, I think it's one of the best Christian books on success written the Author it's really knowleagble and gives a sure practical way to achieve your dreams especially How to succeed and deafeat Satan with the greatest armor in existence like the author says. And also How to overcome obstacles in life. I highly recommend this book to all.

I was encouraged to read the testimony of Kirbyjon Caldwell in how he stepped out to his calling and ventured into a dying church, and being used of God to revive it into something that no one could have imagined. This book is a good guide for one who is looking to understand what holistic salvation is, where good success is part of it. In a sense, salvation does not just mean that we have saved from hell, but that salvation is also being saved from the effects of the devil, health, healing, etc. In a word... it is WHOLENESS.

Caldwell gives 6 main points to holistic salvation, (1) Find Your Calling, (2) Stage a Comeback, (3) Take the Faith Walk, (4) Whup the Devil, (5) Create Wealth God's Way, and (6) Develop God-Blessed Relationships. In the book, he explains in detail each of the main points, and has numerous nuggets of insight and revelation hidden between the pages. You can take this book as someone counseling you through the areas of your life, and answering the questions that is asked, and work through issues that it talks about, you begin to walk in that wholeness of God.

The only part of this book which I found difficult was the colloquailisms used which would not be understood in cultures different from the writers. However, it brings a lot of good truths, and the following are some of the one-liners.

- God may promise, but you must push.
- Do what you love, the money will follow.
- God cares more about who you can become that who you've been.
- Faith is not bound by fact or intellect.
- Trust = Belief + Action. Belief is static; trust is dynamic.
- Real growth always involves change.
- Never consider yourself above criticism, beneath redemption, or beyond hope.
- Faith + Good Stewardship + Giving = Abundance
- Even if you have absolutely nothing... no one can deny you your power to believe!

The Gospel of Good Success is certainly a God-sent good read! Pastor Kirbyjon Caldwell provides a spiritual road map for purposeful living through the depiction of the transformation of Houston's Windsor Village and the creation of its Power Center. The book is power-packed with inspiration and insight for any soul seeking success and salvation. I am on a success mission and The Gospel of Good Success provided me with just the mission fuel I needed to keep on keeping on!

Great read. Perfect for the Christian seeking to improve all areas of their life. This book gives you a step-by-step guide to self-help using Christian principles. I recommend it highly.

This self help book shows you how to help yourself with God's help. It truly makes God a real person in your life, helping you to recognize that He only wants what's best for you and that he has a plan for you, but you can't just sit back and wait for Him to do it all. You have to take action and He will be there to "back you up". Kirbyjon also shows us that Satan is very real and is just waiting to trip us up and that we have to trust AT ALL TIMES IN GOD AND HIS PLAN, even when Satan is there trying to mess with our minds, making us think we are not worthy of the success God has planned for us. Satan would like us to think that success and "the good things in life" are only meant for his cohorts. But Kirbyjon shows us that God made those "good things of life" for His Children and that we can have them--they are meant for us! This book will boost your self-esteem and your self-confidence by showing you that God does care, thru Jesus Christ, for each one of us and wants the best for us.

This book has to be one the most informative books of all times. I admire the substance of the material that is in this book. I would recommend this book for every believer who has not reached his or her potential in Christ. I would also recommend this book for anyone who has not understood the vast potential in themselves. I strongly encourage anyone who has not found the remedy for whuppin the devil to find the remedy that you have been looking for.
