Dollars and Sense

Larry Burkett spent decades helping Christian families get their finances in order, and this Barbour Publishing edition applies that same framework: budgeting, debt, savings, and giving, all grounded in Scripture and presented as acts of faithful stewardship rather than mere money management. For Christian readers who want their financial guidance rooted in the same framework as the rest of their life, Burkett's approach is coherent and accessible. The practical caveat is the 1997 publication date — no digital banking, no gig economy, no modern credit landscape — so some specifics will feel dated. There's also limited engagement with non-Christian frameworks if you're looking for comparative perspectives. But as faith-integrated personal finance written for ordinary families, Burkett remains one of the most trusted voices in that space.
