Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
Debt-Free Living
Larry Burkett · 2010
73/100
👍 Worth It
This is the real deal in the faith-based debt space — Larry Burkett's long-running classic, revised for the post-2008 economy and backed by a real publisher with hundreds of thousands of copies sold. If you want practical budgeting paired with an explicit biblical stewardship lens, this is the one worth your time in this batch; if you want purely secular advice, look elsewhere.
