About this listen
A compelling insider account by the nephew of a renowned prosperity preacher on the perils of greed and the power of the true gospel.
Costi Hinn—nephew of the world-famous televangelist, Benny Hinn—had a front-row seat to the inner workings of the prosperity gospel: "In one sermon I heard growing up, my uncle taught us that if we wanted God to do something for us, we needed to do something for him."
In God, Greed, and the (Prosperity) Gospel he gives a chilling account of how prosperity preachers exploit the poor and needy and what it was like to grow up in one of the world's most powerful prosperity dynasties. As Costi began to question the lifestyle he was living and look for an answer to the injustice he saw, he found himself on a journey that eventually led him to abandon the family faith in favor of the overwhelming truth about the real Jesus Christ.
This is Costi's story of escape from a false teaching that has ensnared millions. And it’s a call to the church to be salt and light throughout the earth and to stand up for the truth when Jesus Christ is being falsely represented as a commodity.
If you want to learn how to reach those caught in deception, or if you've been confused in the past by the insidiously blurred lines between prosperity theology and the true gospel, this book will bolster your faith and encourage your own journey toward the Truth.

This books left me hungry for more. I need signposts to books that further explore doctrinal errors and practices to help me articulate further these issues on my heart.
Thanks for this Costi. You remind me of Prince Harry and Meghan. You're very brave.
A MUST READ!!!

I don’t believe that this is a good biblical basis for deriving at the authors conclusions and therefore it would have been beneficial to show the Scriptures for justifying the Prosperity Gospel proponents position.
This book reads-out like an open letter to Benny Hinn and probably could have excluded him to focus on biblical truth to counter such teachings.
After listening to this I felt more heartbroken than angry. Not sad for the proponents of Prosperity Gospel but sad for those gullible, blinded Christians who can’t read their Bible within contexts. Their local pastors are contributors to this for not preparing their members to seeking emotionalism.
The author is obliviously hurt and signs of wounds leak through the documentary. A valuable testimony however an incomplete work to the biblical basis for the author’s new found belief so to deter future pilgrims away from Vanity Fair.
Thank you for sharing!
