From the Back Cover
You CAN reach total financial freedom if you follow God’s directions.
Debt has become a crippling way of life for millions of Americans. Almost half of all American families spend more than they earn. Along with the obvious financial challenges, skyrocketing debt leads to increased stress, compromised health and devastated relationships. God has a better way! And He has laid it out clearly in Scripture.
By learning and applying the simple, practical advice found in the Bible, Howard Dayton was able to break the bonds of debt and achieve financial freedom—and you can too! Whether your debt is a high-interest loan, home mortgage, auto payments, credit card purchases, or all of the above, you can become debt-free.
Free and Clear offers biblical money-management practices that will restore your financial health and refresh your spirit. The step-by-step approach and compassionate writing will give you hope and encouragement as you begin your journey to financial freedom.

More About the Author
Howard Dayton founded Crown Ministries in 1985 and developed a remarkably effective small group financial study. Crown Ministries merged with Larry Burkett's Christian Financial Concepts in September 2000 to form Crown Financial Ministries, the world's largest financial ministry. His life-long passion for applying God's principles to financial management dates back to 1974 when a business partner challenged him to study the Scriptures to discover what God teaches about handling money. The result has been a series of book clearly explaining God's principles for handling money: "Your Money: Frustration or Freedom, Your Money Counts, Free and Clear," and his most recent book, "Your Money Map." Howard and his wife, Beverly, reside in Gainesville, Georgia and have two children.

This book is geared toward Christians who want a better handle on their finances. Borrowing has become so much a part of the culture that it's easy to buy into the message that debt is normal and necessary. That is not God's plan. God wants his people to be free of bondage to debt. The problem is that so many have dug themselves in so deep, that they can't a see way to escape.
Howard Dayton lays out an easy to follow road map that shows you how to master debt, and begin to save and invest to provide freedom. Freedom that allows you to manage your (actually God's) money in a way that can eliminate stress and have eternal value.
How to escape debt and invest wisely is intimidating for many people. This book is not intimidating. It is clear and simple in its approach. Its credibility comes from an author who has a long track record of helping people manage their finances. The biblical platform for the principles is timeless and effective. Free and Clear is a fine start for the basics of personal finance from God's perspective.

My husband read this book first, and I'd listened to the author on the radio for years. This book is such an amazing guide to getting out of debt for all the right reasons. It's a book you can never read too many times to stay on track. It really has helped me to stay focused on our financial goals even when all we want to do is go out and buy that 50" TV and we know we can't afford yet! Those urges come and I pull out the book and review the money map! I even wrote down the steps on my spending plan so they're write there when I'm looking at how much money is going to paying off our debt.
