Weekend Quote - God and Humility

Not only did this accountability help us guard our hearts since we lived in such a perverse culture; it also introduced those brand-new believers to the idea that "normal Christians" actually did confess to and pray for one another, just as the New Testament taught. Because we as a staff were already doing it with one another, it was very easy to turn to our street roommates or people at the breakfast table and ask, "Hey, how are you struggling? How can we pray for you?" They saw no pretense, no religious effort to appear holy and righteous. Instead, they saw what may be the central formula, if there is a formula, of the Bible: God gives grace to the humble, but He opposes the proud. We all need lots of grace!

Book Review - Pocket Your Dollars by Carrie Rocha

I hadn't heard of Carrie Rocha prior to coming across her book, Pocket Your Dollars: 5 Attitude Changes That Will Help You Pay Down Debt, Avoid Financial Stress, and Keep More of What You Make which I got for review from the publisher.

After reading this book, I felt she is a very good and inspirational author. The book is short, simple, and easy to read. The best part of the book is that Carrie uses examples from her personal life on how she turned it around and how she got rid of debt. Solution? Changing our attitudes about money. Carrie emphasizes that certain old attitudes about money that must go in order to achieve financial success.
