Review
The book offers a practical and organized financial guide on choices that could sometimes be overwhelming. Since it is written in a conversational tone, it is easy and efficient to read. It cites many biblical references or Bible “secrets” that are related to finance. With that, it discusses financial practices that are biblically-accepted.
