In God Wants to Be Rich, Pilzer presents both Biblical and economic reasons supporting the idea that God wants his followers to be prosperous in every possible way—health, peace of mind, and material possessions.

     Four months. That’s it. Smile. Dote. Look pretty for the cameras. Be his beck and call girl, his faux girlfriend. Four months, then I walk away two hundred fifty thousand dollars richer, never setting eyes on Shaw Mercer again. No emotions, no strings, and definitely no falling in love with the client. Yet, Seattle’s infamous playboy proves to not only be irresistible, he may be the man I never thought I wanted. What began as a ruse, a strategically planned campaign move suddenly morphs into reality, and I find myself breaking my own rules of self-preservation one by one. But the world has a cruel way of slapping me across the face as she always does. Just when I think Shaw and I might have our happily ever after, my ex-fiancé re-enters the picture and flips our lives upside down with devastating secrets neither of us see coming, but more importantly, neither of us will be able to escape. I can only stand by and watch helplessly as the future I’d allowed myself to dream of comes crashing down around me once again. *** Contains adult subject matter. +18 only
