Chapter 3 – Master or Slave​​​​​​​

Chapter 5 – The Root of Evil​​​​​​​
Money is not evil, it is the love of money that is the root of all evil. The author discusses that the fundamental cause of a love of money is a lack of money and that a lack mentality results in a poverty mindset which then causes a love of money – which is the root of evil.​​​​​​​
Chapter 4 – The Sources of Money​​​​​​​
There are many sources of money, employment being the most common source. There are also the sources from businesses or investments. This chapter explores the various sources and provides some suggested ways to generate income, including a simple way to calculate returns on investment. In today’s digital economy, there are now a lot more opportunities and the barriers to entry have been significantly lowered for budding entrepreneurs. The author warns however of not being caught in paralysis by over-analysis, and encourages the reader to take action instead of constantly finding the perfect opportunity that never exists.​​​​​​​
Chapter 7 – God’s Original Design for Income​​​​​​​
In this chapter, the author describes God’s original design for income for the nation of Israel, and how God’s original design was for passive and multiplying income through the use of farm plots. God’s original design was freedom, but when Israel strayed from the purpose, they entered into captivity and became slaves.​​​​​​​
Chapter 6 – The Fruit Tree​​​​​​​
In this chapter, the author describes starting a business by using the analogy of a fruit tree and how similar it is between growing a tree and a business. And just as a fruit tree eventually bears fruit season after season once it matures, a business once it reaches maturity will also produce passive income steadily for the business owner.​​​​​​​
Chapter 8 – Breakthrough Thinking!​​​​​​​
The author introduces a breakthrough thought in this chapter to address the seeming dilemma of wanting to serve God and still having to provide for the family. This breakthrough is in the understanding of how passive income truly sets one free and no longer serves money through a job but that money serves us passively through investments or businesses.​​​​​​​

Chapter 9 – Chase Dreams, Not Money​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
Throughout the book, the discussion had been mostly on money and in this chapter, the author raises the bar and says that having money as the goal is too small. The author suggests that if we have for our goal the fulfillment of our dreams, then money no longer becomes the focus but money becomes the tool to help us get to the achievement of the dreams faster. Dreams then can become bigger and bigger and the impact one had on this world will become bigger as we dare to dream bigger for it is in God’s design for us to dream big for we are made in His image.​​​​​​​
Chapter 10 – Eradicating Evil​​​​​​​
In this final chapter, the author gives encouragement to the reader to not be afraid of failing, but to be persistent and focused in eradicating evil through the pursuit of building passive income streams and in so doing, help to become a blessing to the nations. The author also encourages the reader to find a mentor for the journey and to constantly be learning to be better.​​​​​​​
