Description

In a world where the church is meant to be a beacon of freedom, grace, and truth, many believers find themselves trapped in a system of confusion, manipulation, and financial strain. Instead of walking in the freedom Christ offers, countless Christians feel burdened by guilt-driven practices and expectations that have little to do with the gospel. This reality is particularly evident when we examine one of the most controversial issues in modern church life: tithing.
Believers often struggle with the question: Are modern tithing practices rooted in truth or tradition? In  Preacher, Let My People Go,  Zakhe Mazibuko delves into the history and theology of tithing, exposing its evolution and often controversial role in today’s churches and delivers an enjoyable and relatable read in the process.
With boldness and compassion, the author shares his own compelling story and challenges manipulative practices and invites believers to rediscover the joy of giving rooted in grace and freedom.
