Nancy’s Reviews > The Year without a Purchase: One Family's Quest to Stop Shopping and Start Connecting > Status Update

Interesting idea, but not carried out as I had thought. Since food can be purchased it seems that dining out and fast food are okay purchases. Candy becomes the gift of choice for children. This book is clearly written for Christians. Bible verses open each chapter. It will lose a lot of people with this bias. I wish it were a more clear indictment of consumerism.
