Surrey, BC -- (SBWIRE) -- 02/27/2014 -- Growing up, most children have one phrase ingrained in their psyches: ‘failure is not an option’.

Whether in school, their future careers, or their personal relationships, this mantra filters through and creates fear, doubt and eventually, negatively affects their lives into adulthood.

Evangelist and author Richmond Donkor is well aware of this fact, and with his new book, ‘Failure Is Not Defeat’, Donkor hopes to dispel the myths surrounding failure, and how while we do not plan to fail during our lives, often, it can be our best teacher.

“Since the Fall of man, failure has been a part of human lives. However, most people have difficulty accepting failure because we see failure as defeat. Do we fail because of our carelessness or because of inadequate knowledge?” asks Donkor. “I tell my readers to remember that failure becomes defeat only when you give up. Your failure in life does not make you the worst person in this world, but it makes you an experienced person in life. In my book, you will learn more about people who failed in life but, because they did not give up, ultimately became great people.”

Donkor has also released a companion self-help guide, entitled ‘3 Steps to Overcome Poverty’, in which he tells the story of a 75-year-old man who became a billionaire after he learned of the “law of believing”. To Donkor, this story is one of the most powerful he’s ever heard, and he wants to share it with the world.

“We live in a world where money has become the backbone and also a necessary vehicle of life. However, it is difficult to make money,” says the author. “My book will help readers to discover the secret behind wealth creation by using an amazing law called the Law of believing. The man, whom this book is about, used these hidden laws, and he became very wealthy man.”

What is the biblical solution to failure
Learn more about what bible says about failure and how you can use these principles in your daily life. Failure is inevitable in life; but if we know how to handle it, we can easily turn it to success. Perhaps your parents, ex-wife, ex-husband, boss, friends, and co-workers have told you that you cannot make it because of your situation. You should remember that your enemies are not God, so they cannot stop you from doing what you want to do.

Be more concerned with what God thinks about you, than what people think about you
A life spent making mistakes is not just honorable, but more useful than doing nothing. It's better to try and fail than to fail to try. Have you ever been condemned by someone closed to you because of your past mistakes? Failure should be our teacher, not our undertaker. Failure is delay, not defeat. It is a temporary detour, not a dead end. Failure is something we can avoid only by saying nothing, doing nothing, and being nothing (Denis Waitle)

3 Steps to Overcome Poverty
How a 75-year-old poor man became a billionaire is a great lesson, one I believe everybody should know. At that age, many people have already given up on life because of their age or some other excuses. This man did not inherit anything from his parents, and, at the age of 75. He started with a zero balance and still acquired massive wealth. This book is for everybody, regardless of religious background. So take your time, and learn this never-before-heard secret. I strongly believe that the truth contained in these pages will help every person to put his priorities in the right place in his life.

The Law of Believing
Perhaps you have heard about different laws but not the law of believing. The law of believing is a very powerful law, which this book has explained in details with examples on how to apply them.

This is your time for you to shine and make the rest of your life, the best of your life.
The man in this book was 75 years when he started his life, but because he could do the right thing, he became a billionaire and the richest man ever live on earth. The principles in this book will help you to make better decisions in everything you do which will help you to become a successful person.

Donkor believes his books for everyone, no matter their religious background or current affiliation.

“The lessons I offer can apply to anyone’s life,” says the author. “The underlying messages in my work are vital – and I don’t know of anyone who wouldn’t want to learn how to overcome poverty and become rich, or who wouldn’t want to learn how to smash their way through the barrier of fear and come out the other side a better, more confident person.”
