You Of Little Faith, by Ryan Thomas, is one of the most thought-provoking books I have read in a while. This book shows how financial giving to the church leads to blessing through both a Biblical and personal lens. Early in their marriage, Thomas and his wife committed to giving half of their income to their church. It is clear that the blessings that resulted could have only been orchestrated by God. Their story is truly amazing and inspirational.
One of the reasons why this book appeals to me so much is that Thomas lays it out in such a logical way. The author (who is also a pastor) has degrees in philosophy, theology, and law, and his arguments are tightly written. When questions began to creep up in my mind about certain points, he addressed them. Thomas anticipates the naysayer and explains everything in a way that just makes sense. This book has even made an impression on my twelve-year old daughter who started to read it and is able to understand it.
Finances and giving are topics that the church often avoids addressing. If these are topics on which you would like to gain some Biblical insight, I would highly recommend You Of Little Faith. It will challenge you to examine your own giving and perhaps reevaluate your motivations and the amount you give.
