God's Money: What Tithing Does for You was written because the author had believed a lot of lies in regard to handling money in a godly way. The best thing "Ordinary Guy" ever did was to decide he was going to stop believing what people told him to think about what is written in the Bible, and just believe what is written. The work of the Holy Spirit in the life of the author as he read the Bible has shown him a lot of truths that he didn't know existed, including about money. The personal testimony included may be similar to the story of many people, or it may be very different, but what the Bible says will be the same, and the impact of beleiving what is written has led to financial freedom for the author. One of the benefits of the Bible is that the principles within it are timeless, but the tricks the devil uses to prevent people from applying what is written are effective when we are ignorant of what the Bible contains. Faith grows over time, including faith in the blessings of tithing, and like many faith journeys, what you learn along the way is just as valueable as the end result.
