Zondervan God Greed and the Prosperity Gospel
Book SynopsisCosti Hinn went from being a next-generation preacher in a prosperity gospel dynasty to abandoning the family faith for the true Gospel. God, Greed, and the (Prosperity) Gospel offers unprecedented perspective on the perils of greed, threats to the global church, and encouragement for your own journey toward the Truth.Trade ReviewHinn (Defining Deception), the nephew of Israeli Christian televangelist Benny Hinn, rails in this convincing, vociferous work against the 'health and wealth' theology of prosperity gospel preachers as anti-Christian, exploitative, and abusive. Part memoir, part critique of prosperity gospel theology, Hinn's candid work delves into his childhood and young adulthood within the family's ministry. He then explores his first inklings of doubt at Dallas Baptist University and his subsequent rejection of his role as 'the next great anointed healer' when he is forced to choose between his family and his fiancand eacute;e, who feels she must hide her asthma because Hinn's family made her feel as if 'sickness is not allowed in [his] home.' Hinn rebuilds his spiritual life and ministry within a more mainstream, conservative evangelical faith and, in the book's final chapters, offers a theological critique of prosperity gospel practices, suggestions for a moderated understanding of God's role in human well-being, and thoughts on how to reach out to family and friends who believe the prosperity gospel message. Hinn's testimony will be most meaningful to Christians who have grown up in but are skeptical of the prosperity tradition. * Publishers Weekly *

This book is practical and timely and will make you feel less alone. Russell Moore, editor-in-chief, Christianity TodayFor relationship, we were created. God conceived us for himself and each other.

In this new book, Made for People, Justin Whitmel Earley implores us to exercise the art and habit of fostering life-giving friendship.

Jonathan 'JP' Pokluda, lead pastor, Harris Creek Baptist Church; bestselling author, Why Do I Do What I Don't Want to Do?; host, Becoming Something podcastI don't know about you, but it can feel like an admission of inadequacy to confess that I have fewer intimate friendships than I would like. Worse, it can feel like this is an indictment of who I am as a person, an intractable, interminable problem with no solution and no path forward. Thankfully, Justin Whitmel Earley provides a path forward and helps us to see, to paraphrase Dallas Willard, that friendship is opposed not to effort but to earning. I learned so much from this book and have found it to be helpful in my own life. I especially appreciate Justin's focus on spiritual disciplines and the centrality of prayer in friendship. Let this book guide you to a life of friendship.

Jerrad Lopes, founder, Dad TiredJustin's exploration of the art of covenant friendship in this book will both convict and encourage you toward becoming more and more like Christ. Ruth Chou Simons, Wall Street Journal bestselling author; artist; founder, gracelaced.comThe Bible says, 'One who has unreliable friends soon comes to ruin, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.' God designed us for relationship, and it is to friendship we are called. In our world, rugged individualism and resilient independence are admired, but this path leads to loneliness and despair. Justin Whitmel Earley's Made for People is a clarion call to covenant friendship--a deep, abiding love that comes from vulnerability and trust. Don't go to ruin; be encouraged and equipped as you read--and pursue friendship. Kyle Idleman, senior pastor, Southeast Christian Church; bestselling author, When Your Way Isn't Working

Moreover, some think that being a Christian means observing a set of rules or commandments. The reality is that the Christian life is about a relationship with Jesus Christ. And at the heart of that relationship is an invitation that Jesus extends to people from all experiences of life: “Follow me.” Jesus extends his invitation to people who know something’s wrong but aren’t sure what to do about it. He invites people who know they are not all they ought to be. He didn’t ask Matthew to clean up his act before following him, and Jesus doesn’t ask that of us. In time, within the context of his relationship with Jesus, Matthew experienced incredible life transformation. But Jesus’ initial request and his request from there on out is simply, “Follow me.” Will you follow Jesus Christ? Chapter 2 - Believe Jesus’ initial invitation to his disciples was a simple one: Follow me. He invited them to watch and listen to his interactions with his heavenly Father and with others. In time, however, those who followed Jesus began to discover God’s character through Jesus Christ. And in that discovery they found themselves drawn to take a second simple step: Believe. When this message captivates the human heart it impacts our behavior. Forgiven people find it easier to forgive. Loved people find it easier to love. Accepted people find it easier to accept. Sinners who’ve been forgiven of sin find it easier to abandon their sin. Chapter 3 – Obey The church often mistakes Christian obedience as the first step in the Christian life. As a result, for many people the Christian faith becomes a rule-based religion. Instead, the Scriptures reveal that Jesus’ initial invitation is to follow him. He invites us to follow him until we begin believing that He is indeed who he says he is. This belief that God loves us and has the best in store for us, then, becomes the reason we obey. We can attend church and experience great music and informative sermons, but these things are not life changing. Obedience to Christ makes all the practical difference in the outcome of our lives. What areas of your life do you need to surrender in obedience to Christ? Chapter 4 – The Simple Life Follow. Believe. Obey. These are the simple steps one takes to know Jesus. But what does this look like as a way of life? In this final chapter, we look at what it means to move beyond steps into a relationship with Jesus that leads to a changed and transformed life.
