Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From the Inside Flap
“This may surprise you, but money is the primary competitor with God for our affection. Jesus tells us we will serve—and love—one or the other. . .
“When the Crusades were fought during the twelfth century, the Crusaders purchased the services of mercenaries to fight for them. Because it was a religious war, the Crusaders insisted that the mercenaries be baptized before fighting.
“As they were being baptized, the soldiers would take their swords and hold them up out of the water to symbolize that Jesus Christ was not in control of their swords, that they retained the freedom to use their weapons in any way they wished.
“Many people today do a similar thing. They hold their wallet or purse out of the water, an attitude that says, ‘God, I yield control of my entire life to you except in the area of money—I am perfectly capable of handling that myself.’ And without realizing it, this attitude hinders their relationship with God and harms their finances.”

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.

Format:Hardcover
This book simplifies the money map step-by-step. It first discusses the biblical views of finances to give a foundation. I read one chapter at a time. I've already finished step-one on the money map and have read the chapter on step-two. Instead of getting overwhelmed, this book allows you to focus on your curent step.

If you are looking for advice on how to get out of debt, then you want to read this book.
The author uses solid Christian principles to explain how he, and others have moved from a debt laden lifestyle, to a debt free portfolio.
Howard breaks his program down into "destinations". The text is easy to read and does not require a financial understanding. He takes you through each step, and provides suggestions and resources to help you along the way.

My wife and I (married for 2 years) just read through this book.
It can be a little corny at times in the way the conversations take place, and it makes something as big as paying off credit card debt seem like a 2 week ordeal.
However, it does have a lot of good examples and is based on sound principals. I highly reccomend any engaged, single, or newlyweds look at this book as early as possible.
