Princes of Mammon begins in primeval times when greed, arrogance, and lust for power and domination of people first arose in the character of man. Those traits carried forward to the modern era, when technological advances make possible previously unimaginable power and wealth accumulation.

But throughout history, God has raised up opposition to the blasphemous tyrants who think they are God, who force themselves to the forefront, only fading away to be forgotten. He intervenes directly in the affairs of men as when He destroyed the blasphemous Tower of Babel and confounded the languages of the people. He calls courageous people as the two ancient families who recognized evil in the tyrant Nin-Marada and as the young girl who defied him to his face and later took her place in the lineage of Christ.

God commissions the Medallions of the Far Times to be passed down through the ages to remind the bearers of His ways and to mark them for His purposes. He chooses his servants, sifts them as through a sieve, and purges them with refiner's fire as with Sterling Davids whom He laid bare then lifted up again to more lofty pinnacles.

Princes of Mammon is a compelling story of the age-old conflict between the cabals of evil men who seem to prosper in every era and the humble, mostly unseen people God has kept for Himself who do not bow the knee to idols.
