Overview of Ephesians

Overview of Ephesians
Introduction
She had gone down in history as Americas Greatest Miser, yet when she died in 1916, Hetty
Green left an estate valued at $100 million. She ate cold oat meal because it cost to heat it. Her son
had to suffer a leg amputation, because she delayed so long in looking for a free clinic that his case
became incurable. She was wealthy, yet she chose to live like a pauper. Eccentric? Certainly! Yet,
nobody could prove it. She was so foolish that she hastened her own death by bringing on an attack
of apoplexy while arguing about the value of drinking skimmed milk.1
