It was an easy and quick read even though it was quite academic. It was very well-done and helpful.

This book so far is blowing the lid off of madatory tithing. So far from what I have read, all christians since Jesus' death and the early church has never had 100 percent agreement on tithing money. In fact any person who uses old testement scripture to support tithing is committing the worst kind of unethical exegesis by elevating the secondary meaning over the primary meaning of a text and thereby compromising the intent of the author, the text, and overall comprimising the intent of God for his people. Learn to give by grace not by legelism.
