Pocket Your Dollars

My parent's never showed my brother and I how to conserve our money and how to save for future years of emergencies and "fun" stuff. And so, I am years and years in debt (thank goodness no credit cards, but medical bills that I can't seem to get caught up on that have gone to collect and damaged my credit ratings). I

When I started reading this book I was optimistic. I never read things like this. However, as soon as I started reading it, I could help but think, "Holy cow.....Is she inside my HEAD?!?!?!" It was scary how she was describing situations that I have been in. 

I highly recommend this book. There are lots of great tips on how to start saving and make a change and take that step to get out of debt financially or save money for a "rainy" day. Carrie also has a really great website with tools and tips and tricks to get you started and continue on. You can visit it HERE.

Besides Dave Ramsey (I've never really cared for Suze Orman...), I think Carrie does a great job at connecting with the reader and explaining situations that SHE has gone through and problem that YOU can relate to. 

Definitely worth picking up!

Dirty God

Grace.

Dirty God from Johnnie Moore is a story of grace and how Jesus came to be one of us. I love how real he gets with the story and how relatable he makes the Scripture. This is an easy read in the sense that there are no difficult understandings to try to follow. But it is also a hard read emotionally and spiritually. This book really digs down into the soul and makes Jesus a person. A real person that you can confide in, understand, and talk to. He is not some historical figure that seems unattainable. He is real. And Johnnie does a wonderful job explaining how much God really does loves us and what he sacrificed for us. Grace. No matter how horrible we think we are, it's grace that covers us.
