How Much Does GOD Co$t?

Reviewed by Randy A Lakin for RebeccasReads (3/10)


Kay Quinn’s book, “How Much Does GOD Co$t” is one that sparked my interest.  The title relates to a sore point that I have with so many churches; that is church and money.  In her book, Quinn warns us of wolves in sheep's clothing hiding in the pulpits.  She points out there are men and women hiding behind the spirit of greed and that they are preying on the hurting, the unknowing, and the misinformed.  Qinn tells us to just take a look around at the mega-churches with the big houses and cars they own.  When I was younger, a friend of mine wanted to find an occupation that made a lot of money, one of his choices was to start his own church.

The author tells us of the teachings of Jesus and that He said that if two or more gather in His name, He would be there.  That is a church and you do not need to spend millions of dollars on a building to be with GOD.  It is a church, not a country club after all.  Quinn also points out in her book that these false prophets work hard trying to separate you from your money.  Why do some preachers and/or reverends need a house with ten to twenty bedrooms to spread the word of GOD.

In "How Much Does GOD Co$t, Quinn points out in chapter one that the Bible is not in chronologically order, currently it reads  book 1,3,11,4,17,10,8,9,7,12…27.  Only the first and the last book of the Bible are in correct order.  She also describes how the church tries to set an addictive and dependent mindset on their unsuspecting followers.  In fact, many followers treat church just like an addiction as the author points out.  If they do not go to church multiple times a week and give one tenth of their hard-earned money, they feel as if they are going to spend eternity in a very warm place. 

Quinn wants her readers to understand that the church has drifted off course from the original rules and law set down by GOD.  She hopes that her book does not offend people, but instead gets them to think for themselves.  This book is different from some others that you may have read, but I think you will like reading hers.
