WHAT LEADERS ARE SAYING:
“Dr. Hill has done a masterful job of focusing attention on what really matters when it comes to the subject of wealth and its value and how we should approach the study of wealth creation. He directs the reader’s attention away from cash, stocks, property, etc., to things of eternal value. He states that the pursuit of wealth boils down to dependence. The ultimate question is, “What or who will we depend on?” Since the Sabbath establishes God as Creator and Sustainer of all life, then value comes in our worship rather than our works.”
- Larry Moore
President, Southwestern Union Conference of Seventh-day Adventists, Burleson, TX
“There is no doubt that the Spirit of God has delivered this most timely message to God’s people by means of this wonderful work which encourages us all to realign ourselves with God’s will. Dr. Hill artistically brings out how the Sabbath is the centerpiece of the Law of Dependence upon God our Maker and Sustainer. We, much like the Israelites, are so often not only oppressed by the gods of this world, but also sadly blinded to our true potential. Finally, personally I loved the concept that there is no excuse for a non-productive life. You and I have the unique and solemn task of validating God’s Word to a parched world. Thank you Dr. Roland Hill.”

“I thoroughly enjoyed reading your latest manuscript, Wealth: It’s In Your Worship Not Your Work. I read it with studied interest, carefully highlighting key points and making note of particular ideas and concepts that I felt I wanted to revisit and or give more thought and reflection. A treatise of this type is not to be consumed but to be savored morsel by morsel. As you promised, the manuscript was engaging and made easy to read. It was inspiring, enlightening, and instructive. The core concept provided a new and refreshing approach to a fairly well worked subject both in the Christian and Secular markets. The fresh illustrations, stories, and historical bites heightened my interest and helped to validate for me some of the new ideas or points that I was hearing for the first time. I liked your outline which carefully laid down the biblical foundation before developing the practical applications which you begin to cover in the final chapter. I applaud you on the Memory Cards which I think were a nostalgic carry-over from early Primary and Junior Sabbath School days. They worked like linchpins which provided excellent transition (changing points) to the next chapter. They kept me, as the reader, in a state of anticipation much like the “Trailers” that movie theaters uses before a featured film. Wealth: It’s In Your Worship Not Your Works will be well-received by the wide reader audience you have developed and will launch an entire new fan base as a premier for new readers and students of Christian Stewardship and Resource Development.”

“Excellent commentary on and integration of four important dimensions of a Christian’s life: Sabbath, worship, vocation, and wealth. An important read for anyone struggling with meaning in any of those areas. Use of the ‘wise worker bee, Shabbat’ parable is masterfully done.”

“This book is a refreshing look at worship and its implications for wealth creation. As a multi-faceted professional (pastor, professor, and entrepreneur), I have personally experienced the dangers of becoming distracted with personal wealth creation. It is only in the context of regular worship that one can develop the acumen to understand, implement, and apprehend the wealth that God graciously extends to His children as they visit with Him in worship.”
