This writing represents the culmination of fifty years of practical ministry, walking out the Word of God and taking His promises quite literally - the product of which is an extremely blessed life. In this book, Jim Croft draws on his personal experiences in living the Word and applying it as the unerring foundation of the “life more abundant” that all believers are entitled to. This book teaches that believers can easily cultivate an accompanying dynamic that has great power and that the confidence it brings to all of life’s situations is irreplaceable. Optimistic trust is planted like a seed within the human psyche by coming into agreement with biblically motivated principles and decisions. As Christians guide their thinking and speech to concur with these decisions, they soon find that they’ve developed a mentality of optimistic trust in God. This mentality is best described as the inspiring confidence that no matter what life dishes out, they’ll emerge blessed by the favor of God.
