Howard Dayton · 2006
🎙 Narrated by Howard Dayton
73/100
👍 Worth It
Dayton's seven-step road map from emergency fund to estate plan is clearly structured and genuinely actionable, with scripture woven throughout rather than bolted on — if biblical stewardship is your frame, this is one of the more coherent guides in the faith-finance space. The abridged audio (roughly 3.5 hours) may leave some depth on the table, and secular listeners will find the faith integration integral, not optional. Dayton's own charming narration makes the listen easy to absorb, even if the short runtime leaves you wanting more.
