An excellent and accessible book on the history and teaching of prosperity gospel and its proponents. This is a valuable resource to enable people to engage thoughtfully and carefully with adherents of this false gospel. The writing is clear, points are well argued, and fair. The authors offer sound biblical and corrective teaching and practical principles in areas of a theology of suffering, wealth and poverty, and giving.
“Health, Wealth, and Happiness” details the differences between the false Word of Faith movement’s teaching versus the true Gospel of Jesus Christ. I’m so grateful to have discovered this book because it helped me to find the truth after having been taught things for years that were unbiblical.
It contains a wealth of information concerning the Word of Faith movement’s problematic origins. The book covers different aspects of the prosperity movement’s teaching, comparing it to the truths and principles of God’s Word.
This book details what you need to know about the false Word of Faith gospel versus what the Bible actually teaches, such as:
• What the false prosperity gospel actually is.
• The origin and history of the Word of Faith movement.
• Errors and unbiblical teachings of the prosperity gospel.
• What the Bible actually teaches on suffering, wealth, poverty, and giving.
Notable quotes:
“Instead of promising Christ, this gospel promises health and wealth… According to this new gospel, if believers repeat positive confessions, focus their thoughts, and generate enough faith, God will release blessings upon their lives. This new gospel claims that God desires and even promises that believers will live a healthy and financially prosperous life.”
“It is difficult, if not impossible, to find anyone in either the Old or New Testament who experienced a pain-free life on account of their faith. Many passages in the Bible presume that suffering is a regular part of the Christian life.“
“…believers must take up their cross daily and die to self in order to live for Christ (Matt. 16:24). The cross demands that followers of Christ make sacrifices for the sake of the kingdom of God and exalt God rather than themselves.”
This book contains such a wealth of information. I highly recommend it to all believers so we can be equipped with the truth in the face of this all-too-popular false teaching.
