About the Author

Leonard Chilumba Bupanda, born of a committed Catholic mother and a devout Jehovah’s Witness father, and influenced by a religious influence around me, I made a deliberate choice of becoming a Roman Catholic at the age ten, baptised at the age of twelve and was confirmed at the age of fourteen. At the age of seventeen, I went to a Junior Seminary. I declined to go to a major seminary and therefore was sent to another Catholic School. It was just before completing my final year at that school that during the last holiday, I accepted the Lord Jesus as my Saviour in August, 1971. That took place in a poorly lit grass thatched building called a church. The preacher of the message was a visually impaired, poorly dressed and humbly educated to the stage of reading and writing only. This man delivered a message of Christ’s love and His sacrificial death that the educated Catholic fathers and my well dressed Jehovah’s Witness biological father failed to tell me. Truly, the Lord has chosen the foolish things of this world to confound the wise. What the Lord has commanded has gone unheeded, but what men say have been obeyed. Now, where is the place of the tithe today? This book has been born out of the need to determine that. God has spoken through His Son and the Holy Spirit, have we heeded? Therefore, let the name of Jesus Christ be glorified in His Saints to the glory of the Father in heaven. AMEN.
