Dr. Frank Chase Jr. Releases Book, 'Kleptomaniac: Who's Really Robbing God Anyway?'
by Christina Mancuso - Aug 31, 2016


Dr. Frank Chase Jr. is proud to announce the release of his book, 'Kleptomaniac: Who's Really Robbing God Anyway?' 'Kleptomaniac' is a journey into the annuals of biblical history concerning what the Bible teaches about tithing and giving. This book will take you on a proverbial archaeological quest to uncover the true meaning of biblical words that deal with money. Not only does the book cover the Old Testament tithe, but it will travel through time to unveil what the New Testament teaches about giving and tithing by analyzing some of the epistles of Apostle Paul concerning his views and the instructions he gave on charitable giving. The book trailer for 'Kleptomaniac: Who's Really Robbing God Anyway?' was revealed today on DGT Book Promotion news. In addition, Chase shared his insights in an interview this week on the Reading and Writing Addiction blog about the inspiration for 'Kleptomaniac: Who's Really Robbing God Anyway?' Dr. Frank Chase Jr.'s interview can be followed at www.readinwritin.blogspot.com and the official trailer for 'Kleptomaniac: Who's Really Robbing God Anyway?' can be viewed on YouTube. About The Book Do You Know the Truth About Tithing? Read This Investigative Manifesto First Before You Answer! The Bible says in Ecclesiastes 10:19 that '...money answers all things' (NKJV). But is tithing money the answer the Bible commands all believers to do every week? Do phrases like, sow a seed, pay tithes, receive a blessing or a curse make sense when associated with money tithing? This Book Will Help You: · Blow Up the Malachi Tithe Doctrine · Know the Difference Between Tithes, Money and Giving · Understand How Money Was Introduced into the Church as a Tithe · Know Who Changed the Tithe From Food to Money · Grasp True Grace Giving in the New Testament · Become a Cheerful Free Will Giver from the heart as the Holy Spirit leads · Discover that Jesus, Paul and the Disciples Never Tithed or Taught Tithing · Realize that Tithing Has Side Effects That Causes Grudging Giving · Expose the Tithe Lies · And much more... 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.
