Be faithful in your giving and God will reward you financially.
It’s not always stated that blatantly but the promises of the Prosperity
Gospel–or the name-it-and-claim-it gospel, the health-and-wealth
gospel, the word of faith movement, or positive confession theology–are
false. Yet its message permeates the preaching of well-known Christian
leaders: Joyce Meyer, T. D. Jakes, Joel Osteen, Creflo Dollar, Kenneth
and Gloria Copeland, and many more.
The appeal of this
teaching crosses racial, gender, denominational, and international
boundaries. Why are otherwise faithful Christians so easily led astray?
Because the Prosperity Gospel contains a grain of biblical truth,
greatly distorted.
For anyone who knows that Prosperity
Gospel theology is wrong but has trouble articulating and refuting the
finer points, this concise edition contains all the robust arguments of
the hard-hitting original edition in a shorter, more accessible form.
