Book Description
Spirit of Mammon (4 sermons) The number of times Jesus talked about wealth and possessions, stewardship and accountability, far exceeded any discussion on any topic.

We've got to be wise, which means staying out of debt, not putting money in things going down in value, not trusting the government to do it for us, live on a budget, take charge of your finances, show self-control! To know God, is to take care of the poor and the afflicted. Tsedaqah (Hebrew) is introduced, equating Righteousness with Generosity/Charity
