You missed the point...he turned his whole conversion thing into a cottage industry.

You mean he was blessed for his newfound faith and obedience? I thought many Christians of many denominations aren’t opposed to that. I’ve heard several talk about the blessings (financial among them) that they receive when they walk by faith. You seem opposed to that, at least for Hahn. I sincerely apologize if I am misunderstanding your point.

"You missed the point...he turned his whole conversion thing into a cottage industry."

Well, to be truly accurate, most of Hahn's books and talks are NOT about his conversion.

We are all free (as Americans) to give talks and write books and make videos as part of our working income strategies, but whether people actually want to acquire them and make use of them is entirely up to the buyers.

(For an interesting comparison, sometime just do a quick search on Amazon for "Billy Graham" books and audios/videos.)

The same could be said about CS Lewis...

What about Protestant authors??

Or other authors of secular literature?

Was Henry Wadsworth Longfellow sinning because he had the talent to write poetry?

What about Abraham Lincoln’s Gettysburg address? Was that a sin because he was able to write and give it?

Do you see that you are either Catholic bashing or that your logic might be flawed?

No, I knew you were being snarky. Billy Graham set up a “cottage industry” selling books, doing revivals etc. should we impugn his beliefs? The 700 Club isn’t just a “cottage industry” it’s a media giant, should we snark all over Pat Roberts?
