Though they teach from a Christian perspective, their book (on the site) is one of the best GENERAL INVESTING books I've ever read for beginning investors. If you're starting investing, it's a must read (just ignore the Christian stuff if you're not of the faith).<br/><br/>2. I don't think they are using the Bible to make money. They are teaching people what the Bible says about money and how to apply it to their lives. This is a service that has value and they are due compensation for it (just like a pastor is compensated).<br/><br/>3. Their site is weak as it is. You need to subscribe to it (or their newsletter -- which I do) to get the meat of what they are offering. Here are my thoughts on SMI:
