My wife and I and her sister and brother were left a nice cabin in Lake Arrowhead after her folks passed away, and we went up for a few days last week. In the village on the lake is a nice collection of shops,restaurants, a market, the usual stuff for visitors and residents alike. One of the little shops is a delightful little Christian book store. We always go in to browse a bit, on the shelf was a new book. In fact, it was released July 9th, so it was about the newest book I've probably ever bought. It was written by a young man named Costi Hinn. The last name gave me the willies, because benny hinn is the weirdest,worst,and most extravagant of all the shyster preacher creatures out there. This book was called,"God,Greed,and the Prosperity Gospel". I don't endorse too many books, but it's worth a look by all. Definitely a good read. This author told his own story of having been raised by his uncle and his dad in all of that, and how he got out of it at a young age.He really revealed those two for what they are, and admitted that is wasn't easy being a Hinn while growing up. I read the whole thing through at one setting, and my wife has scanned almost all of it. We both agree on all this,and the funny thing is that the greatest endorsements come from some of the most rock ribbed hard shell opposers of all the TV theology you will ever see. No, I don't watch Christian TV. I can't see letting those people come into my home via the airwaves and insult my intelligence. After all, like almost all of you,I have a life.
