Tithing : God's Financial Plan

Short, succinct, filled with scripture. Read it in an hour or two. A nice quiz of tithing principles in the back. A tithing prayer and a tithing covenant with God. A great little book!

The Bible does teach us to tithe and give offerings. In Malachi 3:10, it says "Bring the full amount of tithe to my Temple so that there will be plenty of food in my house. Try me, and see if I will not open the gates of heaven and pour out so many blessings on you, spiritual as well as material, that you will not be able to number them all." I have paid tithe and offerings my whole life and God has always taken care of my needs, plus given me many extra surprises. Ideally, our motive for giving should be out of love, however, it's natural to worry about not having enough money left over to pay our bills. That is why God says, "Try me". He invites us to test Him and find out for ourselves that He will take care of us. Some people only want to quote the New Testament and not the Old Testament, but God gave us the whole Bible and both parts apply to our life. Another great book to read about paying Tithes and Offerings is "Fields of Gold" written by Andy Stanley. You might enjoy also be inspired by reading "God Owns my Business" by Stanley Tam, and "Mover of Men and Mountains" by R.G. LeTourneau. Both of these men gave 90% of their income to tithes and offerings and became multi-millionaires. I admire these men who said, "How much can I give to help others", rather than asking, "How little can I give".

As a pastor, I have tried over the years to explain the importance of tithing to my congregation - tithing is an act of obedience to God's Word. Even though I gave the message of tithing regularly, I continued to get questions from members who clearly misunderstood the message. A friend recommended Norman's book and after reading it, I purchased a copy for each family in my church. For many church members who already tithed, it was re-affirmation that what they had being doing was Biblical. For those who "tipped" God occasionally, the light went on: the very next week after giving out the books, I got lots of calls. People asked why I hadn't told them this stuff before - I had, just not as simply and clearly as this tithing book. The result to our church is an increase in tithes and cancellation of church debt. The result to our members is increase and promotion at work and in their businesses.This book is not the theological masterpiece of the century: it is a simple and easy to understand message about the truth of stewardship and tithing. It contains simple stories and illustrations about the benefits of tithing to the local church. As far as I can see (and I have talked with other ministers about this book) every point that Dr. Robertson makes in this book is backed by scripture! I encourage you to get this book and decide for yourself.

"Tithing" the 64 page book by Norman Robertson is a powerful, informative, no nonsense teaching on why tithing is for today, and what blessings and promises from God's Word tithing holds for the Christian that will practice tithing in a faithful manner when based on Biblical truth.This book is short, to the point and guaranteed to challenge and inspire the true believer.

I HAVE BEEN STRUGGLING WITH THE IDEA OF TITHING FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS NOW. I HAVE WANTED TO TITHE ONE TENTH OF MY INCOME, BUT BECAUSE I WAS AFRAID OF FINANCIAL RUIN I GAVE WHAT I COULD. I STILL DID NOT FEEL A SENSE OF SATISFACTION UNTIL READING THIS BOOK. IT WAS IF IT WERE WRITTEN FOR ME. IT HAS ANSWERED SO MANY OF MY PERSONAL QUESTIONS. I WOULD DEFINANTLY RECCOMEND IT TO ANY CHRISTIAN STRUGGLING WITH QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS SUBJECT.ME AND MY SPOUSE NOW GIVE THE TENTH OF OUR INCOME.

this was a very powerful book on tithing. if you are like me and you have questions concerning this matter then please read this very indepth book.
