Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take 🎧 Audiobook
Debt-Free Living: Eliminating Debt in a New Economy
Larry Burkett · 2010
🎙 Narrated by Wayne Shepherd
72/100
👍 Worth It
Burkett's real-life case studies anchor biblical stewardship principles in a way that feels earned rather than preachy, and thirty-plus years of sustained print sales confirm durable reader value — though the 2010 revision means some specific rates and products have aged out. Wayne Shepherd's warm, radio-seasoned delivery suits the pastoral tone well and makes this genuinely easy to sit with on a long commute.
