			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft" title="Tithing by Douglas Leblanc" src="http://booksneeze.com/art/_140_245_Book.133.cover.jpg" alt="" width="140" height="215" />The latest book in the Thomas Nelson Ancient Practices Series tackles the topic of tithing.  Tithing is a subject that many churches and many Christians often shy away from discussing.  Douglas LeBlanc shows, through a series of interviews, why people tithe and what God has done in their lives because of their practice of tithing.</p>
<p>Like many churches and non-profits around the United States, our church has recently been affected by our nation&#8217;s economic downturn.  If Christ-followers understood and practiced tithing, churches wouldn&#8217;t be short on funds and we&#8217;d be able solve many of the world&#8217;s poverty related issues.  I believe and practice tithing.  As a church staff, we&#8217;re trying to help our church members take that step of faith.  When I saw this book on Thomas Nelson&#8217;s BookSneeze site, I thought it might be a great resource for teaching our members more about stewardship.  Although I was not thrilled with all of the interviews and stories, I liked the concept.  I would liked to have seen more discussion relating directly to the scriptural basis for tithing leading into or as a follow up to the testimonies.  Unfortunately, this book is not the resource that I&#8217;d hoped it would be.  It isn&#8217;t a bad book.  It is not what I was looking for or needed.</p>
<p><em>*** This book was review for Thomas Nelson&#8217;s BookSneeze.  This book was supplied to me for free through this program in exchange for a review of the book.  My review was not influenced by Thomas Nelson or the fact that the book was provided for free. ***</em></p>
