Review

This is a very powerful and useful book. I have never read anything that puts together the whys and how in understanding your attitudes about money and then changing your fortune. Lisa is a masterful author that combines her immense experience with her amazing insight. Everyone will benefit from this workbook. She does not give you the answers but does help you find your answers. Whether you are working on your first million or your tenth there is something here for everyone! --Dr. Stephanie Nielsen, Holistic Pharmacist and Author

Living a Blessed Life is an important book, especially for women. This book is much-needed practical but inspiring guide to living a life free of money concerns and in-line with your values. Regardless of your religious beliefs, you can find encouragement and advice in this spiritual and common-sense approach to happiness and financial security. Living a Blessed Life book is a wonderful combination of big-picture goals and practical steps for taking action. From the first story about the author's mother, to the daily exercises, this book s simple and compelling message pulls you in. And, it is an enjoyable read, including the core financial lessons that are explained in clear everyday language. An excellent resource for young single people, parents teaching their kids about money, and grown adults anyone who may need a reminder about how to match spending habits with their values or a wake-up call to get out of debt and on the right track. --Jennifer Benz, Business Owner Activist

With the plethora of for DUMMIES books, it is refreshing to celebrate ones GENIUS especially in the realm of personal finances.

I have been so focused on only the financial aspect of retirement, neglecting the more important aspects of wealth. This book offered a refreshing new approach to working toward financial freedom, while continually growing as a person. Well done!

This review is from: Living a Blessed Life: Walking in Faith, Growing in Wealth (Paperback)

This book really hits me where I live: using resources wisely and being a thoughtful consumer. It's so disheartening to see people get zapped by the $100 Target fairy then wonder why they're in their current financial and emotional situations. As Americans, aren't we entitled to buy what we want? That may be how some folks interpret the American dream. But it's time to rethink. When we're blessed with resources, we have choices. And we have the responsibility to use those choices wisely. This book shows us how we can support our families well and be able to give to others.

Lisa helps us realize the really important things in life -- love of God, ourselves and family. These are the things which make us truly blessed in our lives. Once we are clear on these priorities everything else falls into place -- including financial well-being. I encourage everyone to buy the book and spend a few hours mapping out their true path in life.
