Listen to this indictment on self-help books issued by these two bestselling authors who wrote a book together called "Why We Read What We Read" based on extensive research of books on the Publishers' Weekly bestseller's list for the past 16 years. I'm thinking this could easily apply to the messages many prosperity gospel preachers of the televangelist bilk. To me they make believing and then prospering sound so easy even an adult could do it, which is very misleading. Living a life of faith is not easy as evidenced by the recent very public marital problems of popular prosperity gospel prognosticators, Juanita Bynum and Paula White. Booboo happens. Anyway, this is just an excerpt from a podcast I got of this Diane Rehm Show; you can get the whole show in its entirerity here.
