Hi,
My name is Rev Steve and am originally from East Africa. it is sad how Africa has becoming the dumping ground for all bladderdash gospels and even more sad how "we" drink it all up. This is my advice send him the 'other' gospel book and send him one by John McArthur on the true gospel (he has a couple good ones). Basically that's what god did to us: he sent the law which kill us so that we may well appreciate true grace. But by all means pray for him with many tears (isn't intercession a sweetheart?). May the Lord direct your paths

i was just reading in acts and there were a few occasions where paul was rejected by those to whom he taught, and he basically said “fine, i did my best, but my hands are free of your blood now because i did my duty by trying to reach you.” The argument for sending the prosperity book can be is that God can work through all things. Correct! God can work through a different book as well, one which has more biblically accurate content. So I say give it some good thought, but let the spirit do the real work. I like the idea of sending both with a letter explaining your thoughts, but also having the compassion to grant his wish.

Thank you everyone for you thoughts and responses. I like the idea of sending two books and an encouraging note that God’s love is not reflected in “earthly” blessings. I need to honor his request and as Kate and Ross pointed out, God’s ability to work through any and all things. I do believe that but obviously don’t trust that to be true in all things. Something to work on!

Leigh Sullins Garvin is correct: Send the guy two books, the crap he chose and something you pick out.
By the way, I saw that Joey Prince guy on TV the other day. The only thing I was thinking was “And people say I’m burnt”. What exactly is that guy smoking? “You believe in God and He will bless you with riches, can I get an Amen, and all of your troubles will disappear”. I thought I was going to die laughing at that pompous-douche. If Jesus were actually following Mr Prince’s plan I’d be diving into my money-vault like Scrooge McDuck.
