Have You Been Taught That Wealth Is Unspiritual?

Most Christians have been fed a lie for centuries…

“Money is the root of all evil” — so pursuing wealth must be sinful
“It’s easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle” — so wealthy people can’t be saved
“Blessed are the poor” — so poverty is more spiritual than prosperity
“Store up treasures in heaven, not on earth” — so building wealth is worldly
“You cannot serve God and money” — so you have to choose between faith and finances

If this sounds familiar, you’ve been influenced by poverty theology—and it’s costing you and the kingdom dearly.

What If Everything You’ve Been Taught About Money Is Wrong?

The Prosperous Steward systematically dismantles poverty theology and reveals what Scripture actually teaches:

God designed abundance, not poverty, as His original intention for humanity
Scripture contains over 150 wealth-positive passages blessing those who build wealth righteously
Jesus commanded multiplication, not preservation—the Parable of the Talents isn’t optional
Biblical generosity requires building capacity—you can’t give what you don’t have
Wealth amplifies kingdom impact when stewarded for God’s glory
You’re called to be a faithful steward, not a guilty accumulator or passive pauper

This isn’t prosperity gospel. This is biblical prosperity—and there’s a massive difference.

About the Author

Rich Abbott is the creator of WealthDawn and has spent over a decade teaching Christians how to build wealth without guilt or greed.

He wrote The Prosperous Steward because he was tired of watching talented believers bury their entrepreneurial gifts while being told that poverty was more “spiritual” than strategic stewardship.

Rich believes poverty theology has cost the kingdom billions in unrealized wealth, untapped potential, and limited impact—and it’s built on a complete misreading of Scripture.

This book is his comprehensive answer: 36 chapters of biblical truth, theological correction, and practical application for Christians who want to honor God through faithful wealth-building.

Rich lives in Manitoba, Canada, where he continues creating resources for biblical prosperity and kingdom advancement.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this prosperity gospel?

Absolutely not. Prosperity gospel teaches that God will make you wealthy if you “sow a seed” or “have enough faith.” This book refutes prosperity gospel as theological error. Biblical prosperity is strategic wealth-building through diligence, wisdom, and faithful stewardship—for kingdom purposes, not selfish accumulation.

Does this book promise I’ll get rich?

No. This book teaches biblical principles that often lead to wealth when applied faithfully—but it’s not a guarantee. God is sovereign over outcomes. Your job is faithful stewardship. His job is blessing. This book equips you for the former, not manipulating the latter.

What if I’m currently struggling financially?

This book is for you. Part 4 provides practical frameworks for building wealth from wherever you’re starting. Whether you’re in debt, living paycheck to paycheck, or already building wealth, the biblical principles and practical tools apply. Start where you are. Build from there.

I’ve been taught that pursuing wealth is worldly. Will this book help?

Yes—that’s exactly why this book exists. Part 2 systematically dismantles every major poverty theology objection. You’ll see comprehensive biblical evidence that God designed abundance, blessed wealth-builders, and commanded multiplication. The guilt you’ve felt isn’t biblical conviction—it’s theological error.

Is this book suitable for church leaders?

Absolutely. Many pastors and church leaders have inadvertently promoted poverty theology without realizing it. This book provides the theological foundation to teach biblical stewardship accurately. It’s comprehensive enough to equip leadership while accessible enough for any believer.

What makes this different from other Christian finance books?

Theological depth + practical application. Most Christian finance books are either (1) practical budgeting with light biblical references, or (2) theological teaching with no practical tools. This book provides both: 20 chapters of comprehensive biblical examination + 16 chapters of practical integration. You get the “why” and the “how.”

How long will it take to read?

36 chapters, approximately 341 pages. Most readers complete it in 5-10 hours. But this isn’t a book you read once and forget—it’s a reference you’ll return to repeatedly as you build wealth and teach others.
