Extract from Forbes magazine below:

Mark Lewis: Welcome, David. What prompted you to write this book?

David Steward: We started a Sunday School class about four years ago. Our minister had a vision. He was interested in how this business got started. We were talking about the biblical principles and how important they were and how this business developed and how it grew and how the relationships culminated based on the word of God. He asked us, my wife and me, to start a Bible study class to talk about God’s prosperity.

We started with only two or three people in the class and today we have as many as 50 or 60 people who attend it regularly. It’s at Salem United Methodist Church in St. Louis.
