A Declaration of Financial Independence

by Josh Gilliam

In our culture many corrupted ideas of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness have been promoted and accepted for so long that they bear the superficial appearance of being right. Americans design lifestyles and build financial plans around these "ideas" without realizing oppression lies just beneath their surface-a tyranny far worse than the British Crown ever stamped on us. By exploring the causes and the destructive effects of excess, A Declaration of Financial Independence is a rallying cry for preserving our sacred freedoms. It empowers the reader with a Biblical perspective for financial decision-making and reveals the secret of contentment in an age of unprecedented-but often unfulfilling-wealth. This one-of-a-kind composition is principled, clever and instructive. From Jesus to Joseph Goebbels (Hitler's propaganda minister), the book uses Scripture, history, statistics and personal anecdotes to expose and expel a new tyrant-the Crown of Popular Culture. "Popular culture has lied to us-you deserve it, do what feels good, there is no such thing as right or wrong, to name but a few. And each lie becomes another link in the chain that holds so many captive. But there is hope. A Declaration of Financial Independence provides critical insight and will equip others to break free from their chains. D. Bryan Wickens, president and attorney, Reclaim Our Culture Kentuckiana (ROCK) "Josh Gilliam merges a unique historical perspective with current relevance to provide helpful insights for our journey from Success to Significance. We (as a country) have been incredibly blessed, and as a result we (as individuals) have an unprecedented opportunity to impact the lives of the less fortunate. This book will help us on that journey." Lloyd Reeb, director, The Halftime Group, and author of From Success to Significance
