Nope, but how much of the book money did he give to causes in need.
All his books were sold to those who look to him for religious direction, therefore their concerns as Christians should be furthered when he takes their monies.
I do have a problem with joel, as I do not think he would have amassed his fortune in a 9-to-5 job, AND 100% OF HIS MONEY COMES FROM THOSE PURSUING RIGHTEOUSNESS.
A fair salary is fine with me, this appears to be excess:
I remember a very wise church leader once telling me that if you paid him a million dollars for all he has done, for 30+ years, for GOD's children it would not be enough, BUT if you tried to pay him a penny he would be insulted, as he did all things out of love.
