What Readers Say About Managing God's Money-The Basics:

• Michel, I just wanted to let you know I am really enjoying your Internet site. I am also completely free from credit card debt finally (with a little help from your book, actually a lot of help from your book and from God). I still have a lot of other areas I have to work on. One day at a time. - Khajak, Montreal
  
  
• I found your book in someone's cabinet here at the station, and I read it. It has totally changed my family's spending habits and financial stability. Here's how: I have put into practice most, if not all, of the things you propose in the book. Your PEACE budget worksheet is a staple of my life. I enlarged the sheet, and made lots of copies. It is my monthly staple now. I don't spend a dime without consulting the budget. Because of you and your ministry, we are aggressively paying bills, getting out of debt, and sowing more into God's Kingdom. Thank you Brother Bell. In Christ, - Jeremy, Buffalo

  On a sunny Saturday morning, Pastor Jim and wife, Tracy- Ann, enter a department store and veer right – we do this instinctively, head right as we enter. About 10 feet in – merchants put promotion items there because they know that’s where we start to focus on shopping – they see the latest kitchen blender, the well-publicized Machoblend 700.
