From members of the clergy, to best-selling authors, to social activists both conservative and liberal, these are the lives of real people who tithe in joy and plenty, in the face of poverty and natural disaster, in community and missionally, and as a spiritual practice commanded by God. They come from different backgrounds and live in varying degrees of financial comfort; but they all tithe--and wouldn't have it any other way. Through their eyes, we come to understand this ancient practice as God's call to a life of generosity, compassion, and joy. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eTHE ANCIENT PRACTICES\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThere is a hunger in every human heart for connection, primitive and raw, to God.
