Review of Douglas Leblanc’s Tithing: Test Me In This

When I received the book "Tithing" by Douglas LeBlanc, I was already reading a couple of books and didn’t want to add a third. I figured I had read a number of books on tithing and had the basic outline of the concept. When you first open the book you find out the author really didn’t desire to write the book. In some strange way that really made me want to read it more than I did when I received it. Here is a guy that believes that tithing is a discipline and should be practiced but did not believe he was required to write a book on the subject. What the reader gets is a great little book of stories about the real life applications of the discipline.

Each chapter was dedicated to individuals who believed in tithing, but that information was secondary. The book takes you to different parts of the country, religious, political, economic and educational backgrounds to weave a story of the blessings that have been born from tithing.

I have to admit while this is a well written book on people’s lives and how tithing has played a role; it is not a book about the theology of tithing. If that is what you are looking for this may be the book for you. So would I suggest you read this book? I would have to say although it is a good book it is not going to teach you to tithe. If you want to read some good stories about people who tithe this is the book for you.
