The author highlights the responsibilities, opportunities, and stunning blessings of a life surrendered to timeless principles of biblical stewardship. The purpose is to show that giving tithes and offerings is an integral part of our worship to God. It shows that whether or not we tithe has nothing to do with our salvation, but it has everything to do with our fruitfulness and our view of money. It answers and addresses questions many Christians ask about tithing and how people are judged and condemned into tithing by the church. Author Tom Gardner shares that honoring God and putting Him first should never be a chore but a delight. Worshiping God is to bring joy into life. The heart is the substance of our relationship with God, and there will never be enough rules to govern human behavior. Human conduct is best governed from the inside, and following God is all about heart. |

| Publisher Description: Embracing God's Promises on Life and Giving This practical guide on giving provides a panoramic overview of self-management and financial faithfulness. Learn to be a good steward of money and enjoy the responsibilities, opportunities, and stunning blessings of a life surrendered to timeless biblical principles. Two key concepts that summarize the essence of The Desires of Your Heart are: Author and pastor Tom Gardener states: "My central purpose for writing this book is to show how giving tithes and offerings is an integral part of our worship to God," Gardner says. "Even before I wrote the first word in this book, I was certain of one thing: tithing or not tithing has nothing to do with our salvation. Zero. It does, however, have everything to do with our fruitfulness. Our view of money has a direct bearing on our daily relationship with God. Will we put Him first?" Gardner, an articulate Christian leader, pulls no punches in offering practical insights and common sense applications on this important biblical theme. His approach is refreshing as he explains that the subject of money in the church world is loaded with emotion, legalism, fear, nonsense, and borderline religious magic. Gardner not only touches on the subject of money but also on issues of life and of the heart. He explains: "The heart is a person's very center--the core and substance of who we really are. And the desires of our heart are all about those things that we truly value, not just the things we say we value." For further study and reflection, chapter summaries and questions are provided at the end of the book. About the Author Foursquare Media 1910 W.
