I’m a grad student and a friend of mine gave this to me as a gift. I don’t consider myself a very religious person, and I was rather skeptical of it at first. However, I found it to be inspirational and even informative. While it’s very clear that the author is not a financial expert, I don’t think it’s his intent to come off that way. This book is definitely not for the super-intelligent wall street invester, but for the average joe who’s got bills. A lot of scripture, but it supports his argument in a way that makes sense and is very encouraging even for a non-Christian. What was most helpful to me were the ten steps to debt freedom, which are practical and easy to understand. The debt reduction chart is also good as a model to help the reader to organize a plan to pay back debt and prepare for saving and investing. I honestly don’t see how his math was off, other than the fact that some of the interest rates he discusses have changed. Overall, this is a good book, I think especially for young adults, college students and other people in my age group who are having a ball making debt. A surprisingly simple and valuable read.

This book is by a Pastor who really cares about the community in which he lives in. He learned this valued info and passed it on to his congregation so that they too would be Out of Debt and in to Praise. Not only did he share this info with his flock he also shared it with over thirty thousand other households in his community because of a vision that he has for his community. The book is great and has some very good info.
