Robert: Dave Ramsey has a gift of putting into easily understood terms the biblical values of handling money. Do you want to relieve financial stress? Improve your marriage? Secure your retirement? Leave a legacy for your children? Grandchildren? If so, just don’t just read this book but consume it.

Yedra: Si puedes leer en ingles no te lo pierdas. Cuando lo compré no pense que me iba a encontrar lo que leí. La única pega que le veo es que no esté en español para poder regalarlo a mis padres y amigos. Si tienes hijos y eres creyente te encantará. Cambiará la forma en la que ves muchas cosas ahora. Es muy inspirador.

Chris: I really enjoyed this book. Its like Total Money Makeover, but goes a little deeper. Pretty much anything Ramsey Solutions does I'm hooked on so I may be a little biased lol.

John & Megan: I grew up respecting Dave tremendously. I believe his radio program and courses have helped countless families escape the treadmill of debt. He has some punchy, practical advice that goes a long way for many people.
So I was excited to pick up a copy of The Legacy Journey. A friend and I were actually engaged in the middle of an intense, year-long study of what the Bible has to say about wealth. Hoping to learn, and after reading 20+ other books on wealth and Christianity, I ordered a copy of Dave’s book in order to read it myself, planning to enjoy some great wisdom.
I cracked open the book and read it all the way through, with my jaw hanging down to the floor most of the time. My spouse got to hear me yelling into the book several times (I may or may not have thrown it once). I could not have been more disappointed.
Dave shares truth and wisdom on many pages, but on others, he errs significantly.
Argumentation
Here is where Dave immediately gets into dangerous territory. As soon as he began arguing for his beliefs, alarm bells began sounding in my head. Most arguments in the book are presented in a way that employ repeated logical...

Just Mike's Opinion: Dave Ramsey's "The Legacy Journey" is the newest of Dave's books and has many powerful messages. For me, the first is that the the journey we make during our lives is guided by a higher source. We are NOT the owner's of the money that we have. Rather, it is God's and we are just the managers, or stewards of that money.
This book, unlike the others, moves us from getting out of debt [should already be there], to creating a legacy, while remembering that as the money managers we should use that money wisely.
As another person says here, "it [the book] takes the next step and deals more with spiritual principals regarding wealth and savings." Of course if you are having trouble meeting day-to-day obligations, make sure you read his other book, "The Total Money Makeover: Classic Edition: A Proven Plan for Financial Fitness Hardcover – September 10, 2013"
By reading this book and taking it to heart you will find that you will become more responsible with the money that has been entrusted to you. You will become a successful manager and utilize more productive methods of money management.
Hopefully you will learn the lesson of being more responsible using...

Kathy Edens: As a person who is not a Biblical scholar, I've been looking for an unbiased discussion of what God wants us to do with wealth. Dave Ramsey does not try to guilt people into being ashamed of wealth. Wealthy people are not evil. If a wealth person gives away all his money, then it is gone and the person can no longer do good with financial assets. If the wealthy person continues to grow his wealth, he can continue to do good with his riches. Dave quotes verses in the Bible what are commonly used to deplore riches and explains the true meaning by discussing the entire verse instead of just one line. Samples he uses includes the passage about the camel passing through the eye of a needle and the one of the poor woman giving all her wealth to the church. He does a lot to dispel the idea that God doesn't like us to be rich. I have read Randy Alcorn's book many years ago but remember thinking he seems somewhat disingenuous when he talks about giving his entire net worth away but found out it was given to his wife and to a organization controlled by him. After that I found it difficult to trust much of what he proposed, (i.e. he advocates that people not have insurance but to trust in...

Julia: This is really important book imho. It addresses a lie that pervades society, which is that the bible honours poverty. It doesn't and Dave cites examples in scripture to address this lie. It turns out it is possible to be a Christian and have money!
