Sound and easy to understand strategy as how to operate the family finances.
This is no textbook (and it not aims to be), but if you are a common person without financial education, you can obtain several important information and strategies to use in your personal/family finances.
The approach is quite conservative, but I welcome it - after all, the massive consumption and living above one´s possibilities is one of the big problems in our society. The author´s strategy is simple, yet very much working - don´t overspend your income. Go debt-free or plan to pay your debts as soon as possible. Have discipline. Have a plan. Know what you are doing. Think ahead.
Trust God, but consider yourself a steward of His possessions and act accordingly. Be faithful.

While I differ theologically sometimes, generally I find this book a sound, solid and trusted partner for the development of my financial skills.
