To tithe or not to tithe?....that is the question.Tithing is one of the most controversial topics among believers and churches everywhere. For many the word "tithe" is synonymous with "tax," something you pay to God instead of offer to God. It is a delicate topic that causes an uneasiness; so much so that many believers tiptoe around the subject and dare not say the word above a whisper. But what if this archaic, old covenant concept is about more than money? What if it is the key that unlocks revelation? This is not just another book about finances. Elisabeth Johnson unveils unique insights to the benefits of tithing. You will never look at tithing same. As she uncovers the mysteries of God's intent toward the cheerful giver, you will come to understand God's desire to restore and reveal. Allow this book to speak to your spirit and give you a fresh perspective. Discover how you were designed for intimacy, intended for abundance and created to influence the world. Discover the treasure that is inside you and how to release the floodgates of overflow through tithing.
