Five hundred years ago Martin Luther posted his ninety-five theses or grievances to the door of the All Saints' Church of Wittenberg and condemned the Catholic Church's teaching of indulgences as nothing but a scheme to raise money for the church. It is a supreme irony of history that, five hundred years later, it is now a subset of the Protestant Church that is defrauding the faithful. The Catholic Church's teaching of indulgences and the evangelical movement's teaching of tithing-to-be-blessed are substantially the same and lead to the same result: In both cases, the church walks away with a bag of money and the Christian walks away with a bag full of empty promises.

This book explains why I am losing faith in the church, but finding faith in Christ. The reason for this is that I began finding answers to some of the most elusive questions about God. Something is preventing God from doing all the good that he would otherwise want to do. But here is the problem. How can God have limitations? If he has limitations, then he must not be divine. However, there is one thing that could prevent a good, all-powerful God from doing all the good that he would otherwise want to do that would not detract at all from his omnipotence. What this is and how it holds the key to unlocking some of the most perplexing mysteries of God is explained in this book.

Industry Reviews

“Dr. Bompiani calls on Christians to examine what the Bible really says about giving and tithing, and challenges the unbiblical prosperity theology movement that is permeating many evangelical churches. This is a timely and needed word for the church.”
—James K. Hoffmeier, Emeritus Professor of Old Testament, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School

“Chapter 1 and the final conclusion are worth the entire book. Bompiani’s comparison of evangelical Protestant tithes-for-financial-blessings to the former Roman Catholic selling of indulgences hits the sin of modern financial exploitation.”
—Russell Earl Kelly, author of Should the Church Teach Tithing?
