Take the opportunity to get biblically informed about tithing. Doing so could save your financial future and the future of your children's children for generations. Praise for 'Kleptomaniac: Who's Really Robbing God Anyway?' 'I feel this book was written to free our mindset so we can give freely without convictions, for all Christian this should be a must read.' - Reader Review About The Author Frank Chase, Jr. grew up in Baltimore Md. and spent four years in the United States Army, during that time became a follower of the Messiah. After completing his tour of duty, he attended Washington State University (WSU) and graduated in 1989 with a Bachelor's degree in Communications and a minor in Sociology. Because Frank believes in education, he pursued religious degrees and graduated from North Carolina College of Theology with a Bachelor of Biblical Studies, a Master of Arts in Theology, and a Doctor of Theology. The author submerged his entire being into the tithe doctrine versus freewill giving for four years to understand the different tithe teaching propagated in the church circuit. Chase's decision to shift from tithing to freewill giving was difficult for him and his family. His decision resulted in wins and losses both emotionally, spiritually and financially. Through tears, fears and not fully knowing what would happen when he took a stand on freewill giving over tithing, Chase decided to move forward and write a tithing book three years later. He seeks to start a conversation about mandatory tithe doctrines that make promises and guarantees of health and wealth, but never deliver. Frank Chase Jr. has been married for 19 years to Teresa Chase and he is a proud father of six children. 'Kleptomaniac: Who's Really Robbing God Anyway?' (430 pages, ISBN: 978-0-97552-177-9) is available online at Amazon, Barnes & Noble and other online retailers.
