This Working Wealth Book (Working Wealth) is written out of my passion, concern and desire to see Gods people become more fully developed, purpose-driven and more effective in the Kingdom of God. Our time is short and much must be done by the Body of Christ to make an impact and a difference on the earth. I firmly believe that as believers and individuals we need more personal development and a real understanding of true wealth. Wealth is not really about money, but rather the richness of our internal system which reveals who we are, our purpose in life, our gifts, talents, abilities and our God given assignment on earth. A truly wealthy person is a valuable and powerful vessel that is internally opulent and abundantly blessed. When we are wealthy we are overflowing with fulfillment, godly purpose, passion, delight and generosity. Jesus is our ultimate example and He said in John 10:10bAMP, I came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance,(to the full, till it over flows). This is the true definition of wealth and we are assigned and entrusted to be examples of it. In Working Wealth, you will learn all about wealth. You will be given the resources to assist you in your personal development building so you can be a witness of Gods wealth. Personal development is the key to becoming a truly wealthy individual with all fruitfulness, prosperity, success and effectiveness of a wealthy person. Thank you for investing in yourself by purchasing the Working Wealth. I can promise you that this book will be a very powerful tool and resource towards building a fulfilling, energizing, exciting and edifying lifestyle. I have found that every person wants to be better, more improved and more effective. Personal development is the key to reaching those dreams, goals and desires that speak on the inside of you. Why should you live in weakness and lack, when you are full of treasure? Jesus said, in Matthew 25:14-15, For it is like a man who was about to take a long journey and he called his servants together and entrusted them with his property. To one he gave five talents, to another two, to another one, to each according to his own personal ability. Then he departed and left the country. Personal development is taking seriously what has been entrusted to you and investing in it to produce a wealthy, more profitable you.

William Ward and George Soule arrived in America in the early 1600's. Eventually, in 1849, their family lines merged with the marriage of Randolph Ward and Persis Sowl. This is not a family with a glorious past, filled with famous people. Instead, it is and was composed of ordinary human beings who tended, overall, to work hard and live good lives . The families that descended from the 1849 marriage, especially two of its lines, had more than their share of tragedies, including horrendous deaths and even a few murders. The author's research and analysis of the findings helped clarify and, in some cases, correct family lore that, like the telephone game, led to distortions or erroneous stories through the years. In 1858, Randolph and Persis Ward moved from Attica, Wyoming County, NY, to Montague, Muskegon County, MI, with their three oldest children: Solon, John Marian, and Anson. There, three additional children were born: Dennis, Morris, and Mary Lucretia (Grace to the family). The marriage of Randolph Ward and Persis Sowl was not happy, nor did it endure. Their divorce in November 1865 was only the second to come before the Chancery (Circuit) Court in Muskegon County. Divorce at that time was both rare and shocking, and this divorce was no exception. Its ramifications affected their six children, the last of whom was born after the divorce, as well as the next generations. Their descendants suffered more than its share of tragedies, including divorce (before they were common), drownings, fatal fires, disease, premature deaths of parents, a train accident, and, yes, even a few murders. Today, only a few descendants live in Muskegon County; the rest have scattered throughout Michigan, Florida, the Midwest, and the East and West coasts; none could be found in Wyoming County, NY. But today, in spite of these heartbreaks, their descendants number well into the hundreds, partly due to advances in medicine, better worker safety, improved fire prevention, and other advances in the 20th and 21st Centuries. The largest portion of the book is about the generations that lived between 1849 and 1949, simply because more material and pictures are available for these generations then those that preceded them and because documents for the period after 1949 are not available, either because they have not been released (detailed information from Federal census reports are not released until 72 years after enumeration) or because the data concerning living generations is too sensitive, particularly in terms of today's identity theft concerns. However, where provided, there are pictures and information about the current generations. The size of the book necessitated publishing it in two volumes. The Randolph Ward and Persis Sowl Legacy, Volume I, follows the Ward and Soule histories from their arrival in America and continues through the lives of the six children of Persis and Randolph. It also includes the stories about the descendants of the five younger children: John M., Anson, Dennis, Morris, and Mary L. (Grace). The Randolph Ward and Persis Sowl Legacy, Volume II, tells about the descendants of Solon Ward, including the lines that merged into the family, such as the Stones, Nichols, and Mongeaus.

Governments and researchers from industrial countries have been measuring science and technology for more than seventy years. This book provides an historical examination of official science and technology statistics and indicators in Western countries and addresses the following questions: What were the main historical moments that led to the development of statistics on science and technology? What were the main socio-political stakes behind the activities of science measurement? What were the philosophical and ideological conceptions that drove measurement? What statistics and indicators were developed and how were they constructed? The first part of the book concentrates on the construction and development of science and technology statistics from 1930 to the present, the principles at work, and the vested interests and forces behind that construction. The second part analyzes to what uses statistics were put, and with how much confidence actors used statistics to document their case or to promote their political agenda.
