"The LORD shall command the blessing upon thee in thy storehouses, and in all that thou settest thine hand unto; and he shall bless thee in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee."
Deuteronomy 28:8

When Van Crouch spoke at Pastor Al Jandl's church in the late 1990s, he had no idea that he would receive more spiritually than he had come to give. During a casual conversation about managing finances, Al confronted Van about having a storehouse for his ministry, business, and family as outlined in Deuteronomy 28:8. This conversation turned into a life-changing journey for Van as, in the next four years, he started a storehouse of his own, saw it increase more than hundredfold, met others who had applied this principle with the same results, and began studying the scriptures to understand how it all happened. That journey led to the writing of The Storehouse Principle.

No, this is not a "prosperity gospel" book or a "get-rich-quick scheme," but merely revelation that has come to those who have applied this simple principle from Deuteronomy 28:8 to their lives. When Al Jandl took over as the pastor of a church in Alvin, Texas in the mid 1970s he had no respect from his community, let alone his church, yet over the years as people have seen the blessings of God on his life from his own storehouse, he has become a prominent spokesperson for God throughout the area spiritually, financially, and politically. He has learned the true meaning of biblical prosperity and money's place in life-as a servant to increase the kingdom of God in the lives of his family, his church, his community, and his world.

God wants all of us to have this same peace and abundance. The Storehouse Principle reveals how to take what the Bible really tells us about money and wealth and change our world with it.

1) "This is no g et-rich-quick scheme-it is a lifestyle change. It doesn't work overnight. In fact, I still don't know how it works. I don't drive a fancy car or have a bunch of rings on my fingers, but I don't toss and turn in my bed anymore wondering how I am going to pay our bills either. In the last fifteen years, my ministry and my family have never been so blessed.
"I don't know how to explain it other than to say that I got a hold of a spiritual principle that day [I spoke with Al Jandl] that is so simple that the Church has missed it for decades, if not centuries. It has nothing to do with formulas of taking x number of dollars and turning it into y number of dollars after z number of years because of compound interest or this or that or the other. In a lot of ways, it really doesn't have a great deal to do with money at all! It is simply a biblical principle that will change your whole life-the way you deal with people, they way you operate your business, the way you raise your family, and the way you operate in the gifts of God. It is a lifestyle of living responsibly before God that will let God work through you like never before-and, oh, on the side, there are some tremendous financial blessings as well." (From the Preface by Tim Brooks)

2) "As I have shared this with others, I have seen it work in a lot of different ways, but every time it is unbelievable, whether it is for a business, a church, a family, or a single person. There is something about spending all that we have each paycheck, whether we tithe or not, that keeps this blessing from our lives; and there is also something about putting a little money into our storehouses each time we have money that gets God personally involved in blessing us. It seems too simple to be real, which is why I think that so many miss it, but as I have looked around, those who practice it are blessed and those who don't aren't. I have not found any truly successful organization that doesn't practice it."
