USA, June 11, 2005: Hindu temples and other charitable organizations may find the book “Giving Thanks, the Art of Tithing,” useful for their fund-raising programs. Tithing is the practice of giving ten percent of one’s income to charity. The introduction at the website, “source,” states:
“Giving Thanks: The Art of Tithing offers a systematic way to create true and lasting abundance in all areas of your life. This book is successfully used by individuals from all walks of life to dispel misconceptions and dissolve past discomfort about tithing. In its truest form, tithing is simply a way of saying ‘thank you’ for the abundance that is manifesting or appearing in your life today and in the days to come. This pioneering work has helped launch the contemporary prosperity movement and is already creating change for readers in 27 countries.”
The book, save a few Bible quotations, is not Christian-oriented. It can be purchased on-line in PDF format, or as a printed book.
