In Judeo-Christian culture there is a longstanding tradition of seeing material wealth as the manifestation of God's blessing. This tradition is amply reflected in the Bible . For example, Deuteronomy 28:1, 11 expresses God's promise of prosperity for those who obey his commandments: "If you fully obey the Lord your God and carefully follow all his commands . . . the Lord will grant you abundant prosperity." A key requirement for this prosperity, however, is proper use of the blessings God has provided. Deuteronomy 15:10-11 says, "Give generously . . . and do so without a grudging heart; then because of this the Lord your God will bless you in all your work and in everything you put your hand to."

The purpose of the series Money at its Best: Millionaires of the Bible is to examine the lives of key figures from Biblical history, showing how these people blended their faith in God with their wealth or privileged positions in order to make a difference in the lives of others. Each book in this series weaves stories from the Bible with legends a plausible account of the subject's life. These portraits are fleshed out by 35 to 60 full-color illustrations, including pictures of or folk tales, other scriptural sources, and modern archaeological research to create artifacts and paintings of religious scenes from Rembrandt, Michaelangelo, and other great artists. Each book includes resources for further study, as well as a detailed index.
