KLEPTOMANIAC, Who's Really Robbing God Anyway is a trek through the pages of the Bible to find the untwisted truth about the centuries-old teachings on tithes and offerings. Every page of this book has information that will make you become an analyst in getting to the bottom line of what tithing is in the Old and New Testament. It takes you on a journey to first define the word tithe and then breaks down the differences between giving and tithing as the Bible instructs. The author attempts to expose what most people believe as fact to bring them to what the Bible actually teaches when it comes to true giving. Are the arguments put forth today about tithing fact or fiction? This book tackles tough questions like, did God ever require a tithe of money? Was the contents of the tithe always money in the Bible? Who is really robbing God today? Did God change the tithe at some point in biblical history? Are first fruits money? Is the tithe food, money or both? Is the church the storehouse? Did Jesus, Paul and the Disciples tithe? Did the early church honor a money tithe system? Are Christians really cursed for not tithing ten percent of their income? These questions will be answered based on scholarship, the land, the language and the literature of the original Biblical people. Not only will questions be answered for those confused about whether or not they are required to pay ten percent of their income to any religious institution, they will learn what the Bible really teaches about money and stewardship. The author meticulously examines the word tithe in both the Hebrew and Greek language. To understand every Bible verse that contains the word tithe, the author gives context and definitive definitions for clarity of the text. This book also explains the concept of giving from a New Testament perspective without the mandate of ten percent and explains why the Apostle Paul never mentioned tithing to any of the New Testament congregations. From Genesis to Revelation, this book is about how to properly interpret biblical terms to arrive at the proper interpretation of a biblical text that refers to money or tithing. Because there are pros and cons about tithing, the author examines both tithing and non-tithing theological camps and presents analysis and conclusions so that the reader can make an informed choice as to how they will give in the future. Since money is vital in every part of society and the church, this book spends a considerable amount of time detailing how money was used in the Bible to help readers know the difference between tithes and money. The tithing phenomenon has been around for centuries and this book is an expose' into the how the current doctrine came into existence and who the culprits were who played a major role in what churches teach today. Whether you agree or disagree with tithing as a viable doctrine, KLEPTOMANIAC is a back to the past look at Israel's history and how they practiced tithing in a theocracy. This book also questions how tithing practices of today affect people financially and how those practices are unlike tithing practices of yesterday. Not only does this book challenge the accepted definitions of the tithe, it also questions the sustainability of the current practices, especially when economic times get tough for people who may not be able to give much. From the very beginning to the end of the book, everything is supported by Scripture and research. You will know from the onset why the author, Dr. Frank Chase Jr., wrote the book and learn about his personal story of what happened as a result of embracing New Covenant giving principles from the New Testament. Not only does the book cover the Old Testament tithe, it also unveils what the New Testament teaches about giving by analyzing some of the epistles of Apostle Paul concerning his views and instructions on charitable giving. …

The book takes readers on a journey through the origins of tithing, tracing Its roots back to ancient civilizations and religious traditions. Drawing from historical records and scriptural interpretations, the author presents a comprehensive analysis of how tithing has evolved over time and how it has been used to shape religious institutions and influence believers.
As the narrative unfolds, the author questions whether the conventional interpretations and applications of tithing align with the true teachings of spirituality and the essence of faith. By exploring various religious doctrines and theological perspectives, "Kleptomaniac" raises profound questions about the motivations and legitimacy behind monetary tithing and whether it is genuinely a selfless act of devotion or, in some cases, a mechanism for control and manipulation.
The book also delves into the financial implications of tithing, examining how religious organizations utilize the contributions they receive. The author investigates cases of financial misconduct within religious institutions and highlights instances where the resources donated by congregants may not be utilized as intended or advertised.
Throughout the book, personal anecdotes and real-life stories provide a human touch, illustrating the effects of tithing on individual lives and the complex emotions surrounding the act of giving. These accounts showcase the struggles, doubts, and triumphs of individuals as they navigate their spiritual journey, shedding light on the impact of financial giving on personal well-being and faith.
"Kleptomaniac: Who's Really Robbing God Anyway" doesn't merely criticize or condemn the practice of monetary tithing; it encourages readers to adopt a discerning mindset and engage in critical thinking. The author proposes alternative approaches to financial stewardship and explores the idea of giving based on a deeper understanding of one's spirituality and purposse
The book traverses ancient biblical tithing texts to explore and uncover the historical origins and evolution of tithes and offerings by tracing its roots back to ancient times when it was a land-based system (crops and livestock) of support for biblical Levites and the poor and how that land-based tithing system morphed into a monetary tithing system to support religious institutions and clergy. Dr. Chase delves into the biblical texts and religious traditions, shedding light on tithing interpretations and misinterpretations that have shaped contemporary practices.
