DEDICATION

This book is dedicated to all who, in the face of difficulties and problems and discouragements, remain "strong and very courageous, to observe to do according to all the law," with the hope that in these pages they may find an incentive to persevere and to claim their heritage of blessing from the One who opens His hand and satisfies the desire of every living thing.

FORWARD

LIKE its companion volume, "The Sunlit Way," this book is primarily practical. It is written out of actual experiences, most of them the author's own, presented frankly and simply, with no attempt to conceal the limitations of the writer's own thought and understanding, but as a testimony that the promises of God are as dependable today as ever they were in times past. "Jehovah thy God will bless thee in all thine increase, and in all the work of thy hands, and thou shalt be altogether joyful."

In these "adventures in prosperity" the author invites you to take with him a few simple steps in the joyous journey back to the often undiscovered country of happiness and bounty that lies close by, and that seems too often to be hidden from anxious, seeking eyes.

Now, as you begin this adventure, the author offers you his hand in fellowship, with the confident wish that your way will be a happy one. As you stride along, you will become refreshed rather than weary, your step will grow firmer and your head will lift higher. "Only be strong and very courageous" in obeying every part of the law as it is unfolded to your understanding, and soon you will find that the author has slipped your hand out of his and into that of Another who can help you far more, and who can lead you far beyond the steps here recorded into heights yet hidden from your sight. But the heights are very real, and it is your destiny to know them, because you are a son of the heights, the royal traveler of a royal way. "The God of heaven, he will prosper us!"
