A newly revised and updated look at the rising popularity of legalized gambling and its detrimental effects on individuals and society. "It is a call to action." —Tony Campolo
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
In recent years, America has plunged headlong into legalized gambling in every form. Gambling is seen by many as a means to quick financial solutions—for individuals, governments, charities, and church groups alike. Its grip is so pervasive throughout our culture that it goes largely unnoticed and unquestioned.
In this newly revised and updated book, Rex M. Rogers, a recognized expert on this subject, examines the hold gambling has on our culture and how we must free ourselves from its damaging effects, both as individuals and as a society. Along with presenting a clear and biblical analysis of gambling, Rogers also discusses moral and economic arguments, charity gambling, and gambling addictions.
“Rex Rogers will open your eyes to a demonic force that is destroying lives and is eating away at the value system of the nation. His book is more than a survey of sociohistorical material on the subject of gambling—it is a call to action.”
—Tony Campolo
