God Wants You to Be Rich

In God Wants You to Be Rich, bestselling author Paul Zane Pilzer provides an original, provocative view of how to accumulate wealth and why it is beneficial to all of humankind.A theology of economics, this book explores why God wants each of us to be rich in every way–physically, emotionally, and financially–and shows the way to prosperity, well-being, and peace of mind. Pilzer explains that the foundation of our economic system is based on our Judeo-Christian heritage and includes chapters on a variety of financial issues from outsourcing and unemployment to the rise of technology and real estate. Pilzer puts an interesting spin on the debate in the Christian community about the relationship between God and wealth. Prosperity preachers encourage the idea that God wishes his followers to have wealth, but other ministers don’t want to confuse finance with faith. In God Wants to Be Rich, Pilzer presents both Biblical and economic reasons supporting the idea that God wants his followers to be prosperous in every possible way–health, peace of mind, and material possessions.
