Found this one in our church library and ended up skimming most of it. I thought it might a Christian version of Animal, Vegetable, Miracle but it was more a guide on how to live on very little money.

A simple book of suggestions on making things work better with kids. Written by a Christian, stay-at-home, homeschooling mother of 6, I find much common ground with the author. I love her example of incorporating the scriptures into their daily work, with the purpose of finding the true guidance that the Bible has to offer. This has helped me to identify some of our problems areas and determine solutions that are working for our family.
Although I had to sift through all the religious advice (ugh!), I did find some of the book interesting. I would not recommend this to anyone.
