Eye-opening! Reviewer: "kldwidrick" (South Carolina)
I just finished reading Getting Your Financial House in Order. Wow! I must say without reservation, this is the best book
on financial planning I've read. The parallel used throughout this "biblically-based blueprint on finances" creates a
brilliant word picture that offers a realistic challenge. Yet it's more than just a book on financial planning and repair.
It ministered to my spirit in many other areas as well, offering a balanced approach to everyday life.
Clever approach! Useful tool! Reviewer: A reader
This book kept disappearing off my desk as one person after another - from twentysomethings to midlifers - kept asking to
borrow it!
Financial Help from Blueprint to Finish Carpentry Reviewer: Dennis L. Peterson (Powell, TN)
Whether the reader is a young adult just starting life in the "real world" and hoping to build his financial "dream house"
or an older person whose finances are in need of repair, this book will offer the tools and materials necessary to get the
job done. The book is practical, insightful, and well written.
An excellent and comprehensive financial manual Reviewer: Marie DisBrow "wildernesswriter" (Northern CA)
The authors use a word picture of building, repairing, and maintaining a financial house, making money matters interesting
and easy to understand. Tools for this work are supplied with a strong emphasis on Biblical principles. "Plumb Line
Principles" scattered throughout the book highlight Scripture verses that apply to each chapter's focus.
. . .This book was well-researched and includes valuable statistics and personal experiences. Written in an easy-to-read and
an easy-to-understand style, Getting Your Financial House in Order offers hope for those who have let their finances get
out of hand and guidance for those who know little about finances (you'll know much more when you finish this book!) I
recommend it highly.
