Greed: The Church’s Quiet Sin (1836) - John Harris (Audiobook)

Originally published in 1836. This edition has been revised for readability.
Greed rarely announces itself. It settles quietly into the habits of church life—what we excuse, overlook, and learn to call “normal.” In Greed: The Church’s Quiet Sin, John Harris exposes how covetousness cools love, dulls prayer, and turns God’s people inward—calling the household of faith to repentance, joyful stewardship, and treasure in heaven.
