Book Reviews of Women, Take Charge of Your Money: A Biblical Path to Financial Security
Book Review: Good Advice!
Summary: 4 Stars
If you can commit to setting aside 15 min three times a week to begin
securing your financial future, pick up this practical, simple workbook inspired by God's words and refined in the fires of Carolyn
Castleberry's own 'school-of-hard-knocks' experience.
Avoid joining the "women 35-55, 1/3 to 2/3 of whom will be impoverished by age 70. Note women live 7 years longer than men," so we need to be involved. However, Carolyn offers hope and direction by encouraging us to "take time to carefully learn and consider our ever-growing number of financial options." She admits stumbling through trial and error, even though the author was a business major in college and a nationally-known news reporter.
Carolyn Castleberry draws MUCH from scripture, personalizing the
Proverbs 31 woman by naming her Proven. She talks us through fear,
offering peace of mind by asking God's guidance. There is room to write our action plans as we read and grow in knowledge to "create, consider & invest."
The author urges us to question those asking for OUR money and shares
simplified worksheets for budgeting and getting out of debt. Her
definitions and explanations for Winning the Credit Game, Real Estate,
(Stock/Options) Market, Estate Planning including the people and
process are easily understood. She distills information from 30
respected advisors who affected her life journey; their books are
referenced for whatever area you chose to focus your interest.
Gain confidence in handling your money rather than burying your head in the sand as many, me included, have. I'm looking forward to her next book, due in Jan 2007 and intend to put her suggestions into practice.
Armchair Interviews says: Good advice for all women.

"A must-read for anyone who desires to find significance in life."
Kelly Wright
National network correspondent
"God has always had His love and favor on women, and when we understand our role from God's perspective, we become liberated to fulfill our purpose."
Anne Beiler
Founder of Auntie Anne's, Inc.
"God never said for you to be either passive or in the dark about money. Read this and get busy. You will be glad you did."
Dr. Henry Cloud
Bestselling author of the Gold Medallion Award-winning Boundaries
Story Behind the Book
"The day I realized I didn't know anything about money-even though I have a business degree and experience hosting a national business radio show for women-was the day I held my baby girl in my arms for the first time. I did not have a choice about whether to work or stay at home; we simply didn't have enough money. After applying this financial model, I was able to walk away from a job in television news that I had held for fourteen years. God means it when He offers us abundant life, here and eternally. This book reveals a realistic example for today's women who long to be free and have meaningful, prosperous lives."
