After purchasing this for myself, I decided to buy a quantity to give to my FPU students. It will add some insight, and humor, to the things taught.
A great gift.

Fun Look at Everything Dave Ramsey
Date:November 17, 2012
Jon Acuff is hilarious! Taking many of the topics, ideas, quirks, and funny moments of Dave Ramsey, he gives the principles in delightful satire. Far from distracting, Acuff gives you a look at the same old Dave Ramsey "grandma truths" but in a new and fresh way. Great stuff. I couldn't put it down. Kept me laughing from page one to the end.

As FPU coordinators heading up our first class, my husband and I decided to have a drawing for this book during the week that Jon has a guest spot!
We bought one for ourselves and doubled over laughing when reading about the bridesmaids dresses as we were preparing for a trip out East to attend our nieces' wedding. Great book and oh, so witty!

GASELLES BABY STEPS TAUGHT ME ABOUT DEBT
Date:July 7, 2012
Very helpful its like living in common sense and positive thinking. I m very satisfied for buying this book. I m a single parent works full time job very challenging to raise my 2 daughters paying mortgage, debt,utilities,college educaton for my 2 daughters, luckily my eldest daughter works inside college campus and part time at non profit org. and she's doing great in school taking human bio. My goal in life is to give my kids a good life and have good education so they finish their college and have a bright future.
Dave Ramsey have change my life. I' m always listening to his station every lunchtime at my work i ate in my car for 1 hour to hear his advice. I will recommend to buy any kind of his books. If only I can afford buy his books I will buy lots of it. Actually I log in to e mail to get his newsletter and I read it all the time. My brother refinance his house thru churchill mortgage recommended by Dave and he's happy and I attented to one his seminars in Long Beach.

Jon Acuff's unique humor is both refreshing and intriguing. I could not put this book down, I read it in one sitting. Then my wife read it just as quick. We have passed it around and everyone who reads it has enjoyed it as much as we have.

This little satire will help any person get through the tough times of budgeting and goal setting. If you need a quick laugh, each chapter is short enough to get a shot of hope. Great read! typical Jon Acuff.

Gazelles need to laugh sometimes, too!
Date:February 4, 2011
We are slogging through the middle of a very long Baby Step 2, and applied a small amount of cash I received from very kind relatives to buy this book, hoping it would give us a bit of energy to keep running. I'm really pleased that I did! Jon Acuff's book was hilarious and insightful, and I regularly burst out into giggles and had to interrupt what my husband was doing to read him choice bits. I do feel like it helped me take a deep breath and approach this new year with renewed energy for our Total Money Makeover!
i rated this as average on life change only because, to really get most of this, you need to already be on the program, so it doesn't really change your life per se. But it can help give a boost, which I think is invaluable. I loaned it to a friend already but I want it back as soon as she's done to read through it again!
