My favorite book of 1999. If you want to be prosperous, and happy in the New Millennium, buy this powerful and life-changing guide. Darel R. Rutherford wrote this masterpiece as a successful businessman but his appeal to me is as a brilliant metaphysician and caring counselor. It will require several readings to absorb all that he offers. He intersperses down-home good sense, bible interpretations and profound principles with directions and specific steps to follow. Some of my favorite passages are: When we discharge our fears and change our minds about who to be, our whole world changes with us (24). You Have Become Your Reasons ...If you would take all the reasons for the things you do or don't do and bind them all together into one package, you would find that package to be you (38). If you're still painting the rich into the corner with the bad guys, remember this: the rich, not the poor, are the givers in this world (57). ... every thought we have establishes a relationship to someone or something, and is, therefore, a powerful thought (79). While on this merry-go-round called life, remember that the brass ring is in BEING, not in HAVING (159) . Money always flows away from those who do not have the consciousness to keep it (105).

"Darel's book, 'So, Why Aren't You Rich?' is probably a book you will NOT want to read! And that's exactly why I recommend it, if you are sincere in your desire to be rich. Darel Rutherford has written a two-by-four between the book covers. It gets your attention, revealing the limiting paterns of thought under which you have been operating. Then it provides you with the plan and building materials for one to make a real and effective change."

If you're looking for a 'quick fix' for your financial woes - this isn't it. But if you're willing to look more deeply into how to live differently creating wealth while you do it, then step right up. Here we have a well written version of what I call "practical spirituality". It's less about "thinking yourself into riches" and more about "being rich" because everything in our life, be it love
family or money relationships all boil down to a simple common denominator - YOU - who you are being in relation to everything else. And the gospel (or good news) as told by Darel Rutherford is that we're not stuck with the original version of who we are, we get to choose again. And folks that works for me and I have chosen to be someone who is rich - it's no more difficult than choosing to be someone living in financial mediocrity and it's a lot more fun!

Loved this book. Wish everyone could read it and profit from the truths therein. It's easy reading and makes sense. It's MUCH better than Hill's Think and Grow Rich! Abundance, riches, money, supply and surplus, prosperity, success, in all areas of your life. Why wasn't there anyone around to teach this way of thinking when I was growing up?

This book is excellent, challenging and can transform. Darel Rutherford asks probing questions and discusses the reasons why we do what we do and how we can change IF we get serious about change. Its a book about ACTION vs TALK, its for people who are ready to transform and bridge the gap between where they are now and where they want to be. It is a guidebook and calls for action. Those ready to act, will love this book.

Great title, terrible book. He owns a tile and flooring company. I guess that could make him a miliionare. That's not rich. He teaches finances at his local church. That's not an expert. This is truly one of the worst books I've ever read. It appears to be self published. The desktop publishing looks like a ransome note and gives me a headache. The author is poverty stricken in relationship to literature. He's not intelligent but he is judgemental. His ideas are unoriginal, based on "Think and Grow Rich." Read that book, if you are so inclined. At least you'll be able to read it. A waste of a great title.
