From Debt to Life By Dr. Kregg Hood I’ve read a good number of financial advice books in my day. From Debt to Life is one that is set apart. The publisher states, “Getting out of debt and taking control of your financial future is more than merely paying back all you owe and getting ahead. It is reclaiming your life that’s been stolen by worry and freeing your life that has been shackled by creditors.” Dr. Kregg Hood is clear in helping the average person understand how to stay out of debt. At the same time, he has real, proven methods for getting out of debt, no matter what your income. In From Debt to Life, Kregg articulates 10 proven steps to beat the credit crisis and build financial freedom. He breaks the 10 chapters into three sections: Beat Debt, Balance Credit and Build Financial Freedom. He is clear in his discussion of the power of contentment, wisdom and planning. These are all traits and disciplines critical to the Christian life.When in place they set the stage for good things to happen in a person’s finances. I really appreciate Kregg’s continual focus on scripture.He does not create a financial formula. He does build on the promises of scripture and reiterates time and again how God wants us to live in financial freedom. From Debt to Life helps one understand that just as God has forgiven our sins, He can forgive our past financial mistakes. At the end of it all there is hope. Pick up the book and find that hope.
