Financial Peace:  Revisited

“This is not a topic I would ordinarily enjoy reading but Dave Ramsey writes in a style that is humorous, palatable and practical.  We have used it ourselves due to distress from having a child with major medical bills.  After reading this book, seeing Dave in person, and listening to the radio show, we now have the financial tools to dig out and keep afloat.  Dave makes it clear that there is no lost cause regardless of your particular situation.  You just gotta take the knowledge he gives you and then translate it into actual behavior with ‘gazelle-like intensity’.  It's rare that a book such as this can truly transform lives.” – Dr. Jodie
