This book has stories of people who live a generous and happy life (and why you'll want to live that way too). Journalist Douglas LeBlanc travels the nation to talk with believers whose lives have been enriched by the ancient spiritual discipline of tithing. He discovers people along the way who do not understand the practice as an onerous law but as God's call to a life of generosity and compassion. The effect on their lives is dramatic. LeBlanc talks with a variety of believersfrom a pastor in the south side of Chicago to progressive Episcopalians, from an Orthodox rabbi to an Eastern Orthodox priest and his wife. By holding their gifts with open hands, they are drawn deeper into a life of joy and sharing that begins in the very heart of God. - Publisher.

Short review: It was ok. This was a journalistic/interview take on tithing. Didn't answer many of my questions about what tithing should be about. Didn't have any history of tithing in the Christian church.
I want to like the Ancient Practice series, but I have been disappointed in most of them. They have not been that grounded in scripture or history. Fasting by Scot McKnight has been the best so far.
