My Christmas Gift to You
December 24, 2008
Last year this time I worked as a shelf stocker at Barnes & Noble. My job was to put books on shelves, not necessarily help people find what they were looking for, but every now and then someone would stop me and ask for help. So I thought I’d share with you the one book I handsold.
A man asked me for a book on personal finance, and I showed him Dave Ramsey’s book Financial Peace Revisited. I had discovered the book recently and loved it. Dave Ramsey is a personal finance guru who teaches old-fashioned, common sense money advice, and the book goes from showing how people get into financial trouble to how to get out of that trouble to how to save for your future, how to retire with dignity as he puts it.
With the economy scaring people, I know many are looking for ways to shrink their budgets and stretch their money. Having financial troubles can put a horrible stress on a marriage. Whether you fit any of those scenarios or are in good shape but would like to pick someone’s brain, Financial Peace Revisited is where you need to go. The book is one of the most helpful, encouraging, and fun books on money. It’s well worth your time and money.
Well, that’s probably the only non-fiction book I’ll ever review here. Now back to our regularly schedule fiction.
Merry Christmas, everyone!
