Faithful Finance, by Emily G Stroud, is a guide book, from a biblical perspective, on how best to handle and control your money instead of letting it control you.
Stroud, an MBA and CFA, is clearly knowledgeable, and she organizes her thoughts well. She writes in a warm, conversational style that makes a topic that could be rather dry into something that is easy to read. The book is broken up into ten chapters, and covers everything from saving to budgeting to managing debt and more.
This is a great book for those looking to learn more about managing their finances in a responsible way. My only caution would be that if you've already read a lot of related books, this covers very similar information. I have read several things by Suze Orman and Dave Ramsey, so this book did not contain a whole lot that I had not already heard. Still, it was presented well, and was easy to understand. If you're new to the idea, and/or have had difficulty connecting with other authors' interpretations, this book is an excellent place to start.
