There wasn't anything I disliked about this great read! It was simplistically written, easy to read and understand at any level and the fact that is was scriptural based, was key for me. The title is certainly an attention getter. It makes you want to read it simply to discover if the book really can be judged by it's cover, but I was pleasantly surprised that metaphorically it was the backdrop to get your attention of opening it, but the content itself kept you hooked.

I was pleasantly surprised. This was a well-thought out systematic exploration of the underlying ideas about money in the church and an equally systematic argument for why most of them are wrong. I think this would be a good book for teens or young adults looking for truth about what the Bible says about money.
