God's Economy: The Tithe and New Testament Giving

This work is the most thorough treatment on the topic of tithes and Christian giving you will find. It provides truthful answers from God's Word for this highly controversial subject. Here you will learn the real origin of the Biblical tithe. You will learn detailed information such as the items that were tithed, those responsible for providing the tithe, those who were exempted from tithing, the recipients of the tithe, and how the tithe was put to use in order to multiply the blessings of God among His people. You will also learn God's plan for giving in the church today according to the teachings of Jesus Christ and His apostles. You will be amazed to learn that much of what is taught today in regard to giving has nothing in common with God's original purpose in provision as revealed in His Holy Word. The information in this book will arm you with the truth and set you free from the doctrines of human tradition that have engulfed every denomination, as well as nondenominational churches. Finally, you will be challenged to allow Christ to work in you and through you as you focus on glorifying Him in every aspect of your life; and learn to let go of the temporal things you must leave behind as you mature and transform into His likeness.
