God wants much more for you than a life of debt and money problems. With the help of The 25-Day Financial Makeover, you can learn how to make your money work for you.

This review is from: The 25-Day Financial Makeover: A Practical Guide for Women (Paperback)
As the subtitle to Francine L. Huff's book says, this is a very practical guide to getting one's financial house in order. Though it is geared toward women, men can benefit from many of her extremely useful, common sense tips. With humor and a straightforward but non-judgmental style, Ms. Huff dishes out heapings of helpful advice, offering easy-to-follow and very manageable steps to financial security. And by sharing stories about her own issues with money, she makes you feel like this is someone who is not just talking hypothetically but from experience. Literally worth reading.

5.0 out of 5 stars Financial Checkup, March 13, 2004

"lavenividivici" (Brooklyn, NY

This review is from: The 25-Day Financial Makeover: A Practical Guide for Women (Paperback)
The 25-Day Financial Makeover gives a great roadmap to anyone (male or female) who has ever wanted to get their financial house in order but didn't know where to begin. The book is written in an accessible readable style with advice on a wide range of topics, from retirement planning to estate planning. It also makes you ask yourself some key questions about how you relate to money and urges you to figure out what underlying emotional issues may be holding you back financially.

While there are plenty of personal finance books on the market, this one is really different. The financial advice is dispensed within a spiritual context but Francine Huff, the author, doesn't get preachy. She just quietly makes the point that improving one's relationship with money can enhance one's spiritual health as well. For people who are confused or conflicted about money matters, this book is a great way to clear the mental fog and learn how to be more financially responsible.
