Benny Hinn’s nephew to release new book slamming prosperity gospel
David Rogers
He has grown up around the wealth and fame of one of the biggest Christian ministries in the world, and now he is releasing a new book that speaks out against one of the subjects that his uncle is known for.
Costi Hinn, the executive pastor of Mission Bible Church in Southern California, is set to release God, Greed, and the (Prosperity) Gospel: How Truth Overwhelms a Life Built on Lies this July through Zondervan.
In an interview with CNN last year, Costi stated the luxurious way of life that he had was “living the dream,” with flights on a G4 or G5 private gulfstream airliners, layovers in Monte Carlo, and stays in fancy hotel suites that cost $25,000 per night.
On his blog, reported by The Christian Post, he stated that the emphasis of the book is in encouraging Christians ”to give more than we take.”
He went on to say that, “While publishing a book costs money and there is compensatory work involved on both the writing and marketing side, there is a collective conviction that our mandate to honor Christ through this book must transcend any pressure to “sell books.”
“I am eager to see this book used as a tool for God’s glory — not for sordid gain. Here is a sobering thought: In a rat-race effort to sell books, it’s easy to become the very dragon that we’re attempting to slay.
