This book does offer a good Biblical stance on debt. It uses a narrative style to bring up points. It also gives a great resource of verses in the Bible that refer to personal finance. I agree with 98% of the advice in the book and I look forward to recommending it to people I counsel. It is designed for those people who are already in debt and need to know how to get out of it. The narrative style allows for the reader to identify with different stories and see how they can apply principle...more
This book has helped me to prioritize spending and to make wise purchases, and to live on less, to get to the end goal of being debt free. I did not agree with the suggestion of using tithing money to put towards debt and then pay God back later. Otherwise it was a good read.

So far, it's amazing! Three true stories of couples who made their way into debt and how, with the help of God and financial counseling, made their way out. I am learning a lot and it's a great companion to Dave Ramsey's Financial Peace University!

Book finished, and I am completely satisfied. The stories were all very inspiring - and some more than a little heart-wrenching as I either A) related with what the couples were going through or B) realized how much better off I ...more

Great, clear concise book - pay off your debt and don't rack up more. I recommend the Family Financial Workbook by the same author to go with this book and put it into action.
Very good book on how to manage your finances. Hard to put into practice, but still a good book!
Makes a lot of sense. Real stories. Familiar stories. Success stories.
Trying to get out of debt....from some of my bad habits. It was okay.
meh. I give up. Haven't touched it in months. Tell your debtors they're good people and that you are also good people. They'll say "forget about it" and you'll say "I am morally bound to pay you!" and God will give you money and also make the debt go away before you pay it, but you will pay it anyway, because you are a good pious person, now that you've seen the error of your greedy ways. You should have listened to God in the first place.
Was very helpful in looking at scripture about borrowing and those things. I enjoyed it... considering it was a financial book. It wasn't so much a "how to" guide as it was a "hey, it happens and it's possible to get out" type of thing. Easy read.
He's not Dave Ramsey, but has good insight
This book is the best....
