Bishop T. D. Jakes, preacher, author, motivator, and entrepreneur, is one of the most respected and influential voices in the country today. Now, in The Great Investment, Bishop Jakes gives readers the blueprint for balanced successful living. He explains how the triad of faith, family and finance is the cornerstone of a life of moral success—success based on God’s plan.
Faith is the foundation of all that we want to achieve. Bishop Jakes explores the impact faith can have in healing and restoring quality of life to those whose history has caused them setbacks.
Family is the anchor, keeping us grounded, supporting us, and allowing us to stay focused. A healthy family sustains us while giving meaning to our endeavors.
Finally, and no less crucial, Finance is the often misunderstood factor in the equation for success. Bishop Jakes removes the veil from this frequently neglected topic, and shows that, not only is it not profane to focus on this area, it is essential.
Bishop T. D. Jakes’s goal is to empower every woman and man. With this new book he provides the tools for us to chart a course for success and accomplish everything that God has promised. This is truly a book of our time.

Dear Reader,
In this book I present to you the three aspects that are essential to the life traveler in order to be happy and successful on this journey called life. We can carry only a limited number of bags if we are to move efficiently and effectively to our desired destination. Too much baggage and we are weighed down, caught up in the minutiae of a mundane existence. Too little, however, and we lack the necessities to sustain us on our trip. I believe that there are three bags that God wants us to carry: faith in Him, for the hard times; family, for the fulfillment of intimate and interpersonal needs; and finances, through which one acquires the luxury of options. Faith, family, and finance—a threefold cord that is not easily broken. If you can carry these three and not destroy one in pursuit of another, nothing is impossible to achieve. Just three things for a lifelong trip, but what a powerful three they are, all to help you fulfill God’s magnificent plan for you.
Blessings,
Bishop T. D. Jakes
