Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

"I think your work is a necessary and valuable exposure of this religious phenomenon and the appallingly cynical exploitation of the religious and cultural beliefs of the poor and the vulnerable." Suzanne WiltonHuddersfield, UK "The book is particularly apt at this period of Christianity in Nigeria because it addresses the ‘money syndrome’ that has crept into Christianity in Nigeria and the faking of the call of God.… The book addresses the yearning of many Christians who are worried by this menace but may not know how to discuss it." Reverend Kenneth NwaubaniAbia, Nigeria "I am particularly impressed by the depth of research that has gone into this book. It will generate intellectual discourse, challenge our spiritual guardians and mentors and it may well put some of them on the defensive." Hon. Kazeem AdioOsun, Nigeria "This book provides an interesting insight into the plight of religion in Nigeria and into the facet of the human condition that allows for the exploitation of the faithful and vulnerable individuals." Will ColbridgePenistone, UK "Very few publications, if any, capture through the religious prism the mechanical nature of developing Nigerian society in the way that this publication does. …" Casmir OkoliLondon, UK "The book will, I believe, open the door for many who are still in the dark regarding the subject matter." Rev Fr Nicholas NwagwuNew York, USA
