I’m rereading the book “Set Free to Give” with the other deacons and pastor in my church. Reading the book is part of our process of studying what the Bible really teaches about tithing, offering, and giving.
Between now and April I’ll be posting articles on this topic. In regards to the book “Set Free to Give” I’ll be writing about the facts, interpretation, logic, and conclusions of the author, (Brent J. MacDonald), and any questions his book has raised in my mind.
The book is available as a PDF file and can be downloaded from the author’s web site for the very reasonable price of $5. Clearly Brent isn’t trying to make a lot of money from the book because the $5 entitles you to give one copy of the PDF to someone else and Brent has posted the full text of the book on his web site, allowing you to read it without spending a cent.
I have to mention that some parts of “Set Free to Give” seem somewhat strident (perhaps reflecting the author’s frustration at the evangelical community’s lack of reasoned response to many of issues he has raised). When I read those sections of the book I have to make a conscious effort not to let the strident tone interfere with my understanding.
