    If looking for solutions to spend less money and have more space in your life this is the right book to read. It’s full of great tips and tricks (with a great Christian and biblical view, but also applicable for non believers ) and assignments to implement what you’ve read.

    I’m sure that it must be a great read for people who are christians. It was too preachy for me but that doesn’t mean it’s a bad book either. Hopefully it helps people knowing whether it is for you or not.

    I will give it a 2.5 stars, no more, as, it’s true what the other reviews say, she constantly quote scriptures and often it feels like a bible study or a preaching. I though I’ll have no problem with that as I am a Christian and I love being reminded scriptures but this is too much and it gets very unnerving. Eventually in the second half of the book, when she talks more about herself and quotes less Scriptures (it feels as she HAS to put them there) it gets better she even gives good tips and send you very often to her own site. Then she picks the Scriptures and the preaching again toward the end but I did get something out of it although not as much as I was hoping for.
