This book was inspired by a sermon I heard Dave Ramsey preach at the church I attended in Nashville, TN when I lived there. Mr. Ramsey is a radio host, financial author, and motivational speaker and his corporate offices are located in Nashville. Mr. Ramsey's sermon basically challenged folks to know why they believed what they believed with an urging to either solidify those beliefs or get new ones. We all have a plumb line (beliefs) by which we live and that plumb line either serves us or fails us. Given enough time we will all find out the results of our chosen plumb lines for life. The great thing about beliefs or plumb lines is that if they are not affecting positive results in a person's life they can be changed. We all have the freedom to choose what we believe and why; it is never too late to make adjustments. There are many folks out there who have chosen plumb lines that are failing them so perhaps it would be beneficial for them to explore some plumb lines different from the ones they currently believe and that is what I have done with I Believe.
