Wager for More: A Christian Perspective on Online Sports and Casino Gambling - Paperback

Have you watched a sports event on TV recently? If your answer is yes, then you know it's hard to go one commercial break without seeing an advertisement for some sort of casino or sports-based betting. The gambling industry has crafted a narrative that their products and services offer unmatched thrills and top-tier entertainment. The result? More Americans than ever are wagering on the outcome of a football game or the spin of a roulette wheel, all from the phones in their pockets. This is all legal in most states, yes. But is it ethical? What would Jesus have to say about it?

Max Rogers seeks to raise awareness in the Christian community about the explosion of online betting into the American mainstream and thus into our daily lives. These pages address topics covered in the New Testament that aim to help Christians examine gambling through the eyes of Jesus, including discussions about money and greed, being aware of deceivers, and trusting in the Lord.

If you or a loved one is struggling with the constant accessibility of sports and casino gambling, or if you are curious as to what the Bible says about Christians partaking in this activity, the hope is that these pages will shed God's light on the subject.
