I agree no real worry. Such books have been around a long time and while some do claim Jesus and the church in Acts taught socialism they ignore that the giving was voluntary not mandated. Ananias and Saphira did not have to sell their land. Their sin as I recall was the lying about giving all the money they received. A lie because they held back some.
A bigger modern misconception of money is the use of tithes and offerings to make some ministries/ministers very wealthy. The cries and competition for Christian funding are far too much or at a minimum too top heavy. Often it is the poorest of ministers that are doing the heavy lifting, while some ministries are not unlike the sons of Eli, overcharging God's people. Lots of merchandising in the church as well.
