Health, Wealth & Happiness: Has the Prosperity Gospel Overshadowed the Gospel of Christ?
"The prosperity gospel is a false gospel, and prosperity preachers are false prophets. This book is as clear as that--and persuasive--but it is even more. Jones and Woodbridge have written a simple, careful account of the new religion that is sweeping Asia, Africa, and the Americas. And they've provided a fair, biblical and searching critique. I'm sad to say that this book is desperately needed; I'm thankful that it's now available."- Mark Dever, Senior Pastor, Capitol Hill Baptist Church, Washington, D.C."The prosperity gospel is neither prosperous nor is it the gospel as defined by Scripture. Simply put, it is a false teaching and a dangerous heresy. This book written by two dear friends and superb biblical scholars carefully and accurately investigates, critiques, and exposes the biblical and theological errors that pervade this movement. This is an important and valuable work. I pray for its wide distribution and reading." - Daniel L. Akin, President, Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary, Wake Forest, NC"This book takes a balanced approach that is both biblically rigorous and in touch with current issues. This is an invaluable resource for those wishing to deal with the prosperity gospel with accuracy and clarity. This is a very Gospel-centered book."- J. D. Greear, Lead Pastor of The Summit Church, Durham, NC."I praise God for the release of this book. It is a reliable resource for all who want to understand the destructive nature of the prosperity gospel movement. Jones and Woodbridge carefully point out its major biblical errors and call attention to the presence of erronious concepts found in prosperity theology. By exposing these errors, as well as interacting with some of the leading proponents of the prosperity movement, Jones and Woodbridge have provided a wonderful resource to hand to those who've bought into a counterfeit gospel, and for pastors who desire to protect their flock from wolves. May God use this book to direct people to the only true Gospel, and to the Savior, who is Himself our inheritance and our treasure."- Tony Merida, Teaching Pastor at Temple Baptist Church, Hattiesburg, MS
