I Never Promised You a Pink Cadillac is a Biblical assault on the Prosperity Doctrine. While greed-motivated preachers lure people into giving with a hope of easy financial returns for their donations, the New Testament presents a starkly different warning for those who would dare to take up their cross and follow Jesus. This book goes through entire New Testament, highlighting the suffering of the saints, not only in the past, but in the present and the future as well. It brings a sobering balance to our perspectives of what it means to be a follower of Jesus Christ. Stan Bialik is married, and is the father of six children. (Two sons and four daughters).
