Title: I wonder what Jesus would have said...
Review: If you are poor, you will go to hell. This, in frank terms, is the essence of this book's "Theology", when all the feel-good, new-age "prosperity talk" is stripped to its essentials. God wants you to be rich; therefore, if you are not rich, you are violating God's will. You are rejecting God's gift, "prosperity for everyone". You are, quite literally, a sinner.Of course, being a middle class American - that is, immensly rich by the economic standards of most of the world even today, to say nothing of biblical times - is not enough to clear you of the awful sin of "not being rich". When the author speaks of being rich, he means rich by *American* standards. To go to heaven, you must own a Lear Jet, or at least a large Yacht.I just wonder what Jesus, the apostoles, St. Paul, the Virgin Mary, and the early christians, 99% of whom were dirt poor, would have said about this book.
