Product Description

Overwhelmed with debt? There is hope and freedom for you no matter how big your problem. Skyrocketing debt has crippled and divided millions in this age of rampant credit, interest-only mortgages, and record loan defaults. The way out from under debt burdens is not a declaration of bankruptcy, but surrender to the Word of God. Becoming debt-free may seem an impossible dream for many, but it is actually an attainable goal according to Howard Dayton, president of Crown Financial Ministries. He overcame his own struggle with debt by applying God's principles to managing his finances, principles he lays out in this practical, encouraging, never-give-up book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Manage money from a biblical perspective, March 14, 2006

By	J. Klaus (Dallas, TX USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars An amazing road to follow!, November 12, 2008

By	J. Farmer "Mrs. Farmer" (Sacramento, CA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.
