 Great Blueprint for Digging-Out, 2007-12-07
I bought this book several years ago. It has proven so applicable, and the principles and techniques so practical and valuable, that I re-read it every six months to get myself back on course as I dig out of debt. By now my copy is highlighted, marginal-noted, and dog-eared to the max. Absolutely superb. It is so valuable, in fact, that I ordered another copy and transferred all my notes and highlights as a gift to my son to help him learn from my pain. The comment by a reviewer asking why 150,000 copies sold has a simple answer: many people found the book well worth the money. Guess I bought two of those copies! Further, several reviewers seem uncomfortable with the "Christian bias" throughout the book. Certainly, the author bases much of his financial advice (which works, by the way!) on his Christian values. But whether the reader is a Christian or not, if the values and advice make common sense, and if these values and advice lead the reader out of the pit of debt, then so what? We still have a distance to travel in the journey of getting out of debt, but my family is in infinitely far better financial shape for carefully implementing Burkett's advice. And again, I periodically review the entire book "religiously," pardon the pun!

 No practical information provided, 2007-03-26
I was recommended this book by a professional credit counselor. After reading the reviews below, I knew it had a heavilly Christian bias and was prepared for that. However, it is about 90% antecdotes about couples in financial trouble. And in each instance, the couples (and reportedly the author himself) are rescued by a financial miracle after accepting responsibility for their debts and praying. As nice as it would be to rely on that, I was looking for practical advice. It tells you to make a budget, but doesn't tell HOW to make and stick to a budget. There is absolutely nothing in here about how to actually get debt-free and stay that way.
Completely ignoring the heavy religious bias (there's no effort to hide it in the descriptions of the book) I can see one "pro" in this book...the narratives about couples in trouble are a bit hokey, but they do put a mirror up to readers who can see bits of their own habits in at least one of the couples. Facing the bad habits is a starting point. Go somewhere else for practical advice. I for one do not have time to wait for God to tell someone to pay off my student loans and offer me a free place to live!

Debt-Free Living, 2007-03-09
This book has changed my life! If you are a Christian, it is a must-read as it details what God's blessings will come if you follow His Biblical plan. Well-written and full of real-life examples. Also see companion Budget Workbook by Larry Burkett.

The truth about debt and credit. This book can help a lot of people!, 2006-08-09
This is a really good book concerning financial issues that face almost everyone.
Larry Burkett's easy-to-read advice is truly a blessing to the Christian community, and I highly recommend it. God does not want our lives to be financially unstable. The different couples in this book and the situations that they suffer through allow the reader to see how finances can spiral out of control.
The advice in this book is solid. It is not a get-out-of-debt-fast magic book. It is a book written by a man who understands the drastic changes in the way society sees debt. We have been bombarded with a "get it with credit if you can't afford it" attitude.
People who truly want to stop accumulating and accepting debt as just a fact of life now have a book to get them started on the road to financial freedom.
Stop the insanity of just paying off one loan with another loan, buy Burkett's book and get started on the road to financial happiness.
See ya next review!
