In Making Your Money Count , we’re given a solid resource from a leader who provides us with the whole package: a book written by a wise pastor, a balanced teacher, a thorough-going scholar, a Bible-preacher and a passionate and godly man. It’s a special delight to commend this evenhanded, insightful and practical tool that untwists a subject that’s too often mangled by poor exposition or distorted by exaggeration.

Making Your Money Count is a rhema word for the Body of Christ. Bishop Kenneth Ulmer counters the critic’s question of whether God wants us to be rich with solid fundamental truths found throughout the Bible. This book is astounding and is certain to teach and empower God’s children and critics as well.
Bishop Eddie L. Long

In Making Your Money Count , Dr. Ken Ulmer does what he does best. He slices through the confusion, misunderstanding and misinformation and then clearly and accurately explains the Scripture. Satan does not want you to read this book because hell will be plundered, heaven will be populated and you will be blessed and be a blessing!
Robert Morris
Senior Pastor, Gateway Church Bestselling Author, The Blessed Life

Bishop Kenneth Ulmer is one of the truly great spiritual leaders of our time. In this powerful and penetrating book, Bishop Ulmer plumbs the depths of the biblical meaning of prosperity. He confronts the false teaching of both the divine right presumption and the anti-prosperity predispositions in contemporary Christianity. Here is a benchmark book by a dynamic scholar preacher that is inspiring and instructive.
Dr. Lloyd John Ogilvie
Former Chaplin, United States Senate
“A false balance is an abomination to the L ORD , but a just weight is His delight” (Proverbs 11:1). In the Scriptures, there are only 500 verses on prayer but more than 2,000 on abundance, money and prosperity. In Making Your Money Count , Dr. Ulmer masterfully unravels the divine path to wealth from God’s perspective. This is a must-read for all those who are serious in honoring God with their wealth.

Dedication
This book is dedicated to my wife of over 30 years, Togetta S. Ulmer. Togetta is the apple of my eye, the beat of my heart and the wind beneath my wings. All that I am in the natural is because the Lord has loved me through this great woman of God. Togetta and I have learned many lessons about mishandling, handling, mismanaging and properly managing money. Neither of us comes from affluence, but we have always known the Lord as Jehovah Jireh, the Lord who provides. When I have struggled with the ego and economics of being a husband and priest of my family, her encouragement and fidelity were pillars of strength
