Abstract

This interesting and timeous book examines the relationship between faith and economics amongst Pentecostal businesswomen in Harare. Four churches were studied in this book: Prophetic Healing and Deliverance Ministries (PhD), Zimbabwe Assemblies of God Africa (ZAOGA), United Family International Church (UFIC), and Christ Embassy Church. These are four of the largest and most popular churches in Zimbabwe at the moment. The book shows that in the churches investigated by the contributing authors, faith played an important role in helping businesswomen to set up and run their businesses in a variety of ways.
