well, keeping it close to the topic at hand, I see nothing wrong with anyone saying "have problem X in your life? i have a series about that subject, send $35 and you will recieve X,Y,Z blah blah blah."

but when you are wording it in such a fassion that leads people to believe that their "offering" is an act of faith over a particular issue, I have a BIG problem.
