Publisher's summary

The unlikely and sometimes harrowing journey of an iconic evangelist, known to millions as simply Reverend Ike, will draw you into his remarkable story of rising from extreme poverty and leading millions of poor Blacks to unprecedented financial success, independence, and joyful living by understanding the profound Biblical promises of prosperity.

Lovingly known by his ardent and enthusiastic followers as Reverend Ike, Frederick J. Eikerenkoetter II touched millions of lives. He presented people with a new way to think about themselves, about life, and about all the riches of health, happiness, joy, love, success, prosperity, and money that could be theirs—if they only understood the principles that he had come to understand. These were the very transformational principles he taught to the hungry hearts, souls, and minds who showed up at his church meetings, workshops, and radio or TV broadcasts each week.

Ike’s early life was full of family drama, opposition, and extreme poverty. Still, he refused to follow the prevailing belief—even within his own family and community—that Black people were here to suffer. Rev. Ike embodied his work and his purpose to raise others up to a better life. In truth, he was a perfect example of the power of faith in action. He overcame the odds by rising above obscurity and transforming himself to a place of great significance.

Around the world, individuals were touched in countless ways and lifted out of poverty, anger, hopelessness, and depression. As Ike’s ministry grew, his calling captured the attention and devotion of millions. Compared frequently to the internationally revered Reverend Billy Graham, Reverend Ike became one of the most widely known and heard inspirational prosperity teachers of his generation.

Thanks For the Truth

Growing up I heard rumors about Rev. Ike that were not flattering. However, his words stayed in the back of my mind. I am so grateful to have the opportunity to learn the truth of who he was through this audiobook. His life story is wonderfully told. I couldn’t put it down. The stories about Rev. Ike’s prison ministry touched me the most. Wow! Amazing! Inspiring!

I'm so grateful and so thankful for this project Mark and Xavier y'all did amazing job

I'm so grateful and so thankful for this project I feel like I know Reverend I personally I remember when I was woke up in my sleep to a YouTube sermon by Rev IKE tell your mind what to think that was the first teaching I ever heard from overnight and I'm so grateful and that was 10 years ago I love the book Thank you for publishing and making it available on Audible love you

The entire book stands out! All the stories from individuals just so special

I loved knowing so much more about Rev Ike . When I was a little girl I just heard my parents saying to stay away from his teachings, although I loved him even then.
So grateful to know I was right even as a child that he was special and his tireless work so outstanding .

Grow ahead! Rev. Ike is still ministering to us!!

Rev. Ike's story is told very well. Really appreciate the description of his relationship with his mother in the book. It hurts when your parents won't follow you into the next dimension of consciousness of the Kingdom of God within. This book is providing a lot of context to my own spiritual journey.
