Worth a Million

I adored this story from start to finish. It was the first Judy Baer book I had read and it won't be the last. I loved the main character and her quirky ways. And I thought her comparing Adam to Indiana Jones was brilliant. This book will not dissapoint.

soooooo funny but good!!!

I loved Million Dollar Dilemma! I read alot of Christian fiction but Million Dollar Dilemma is one of my favorites! Its funny, has an interesting plot, and Cassia is a loveable character. Its also thought-provoking and challenging. I like Judy Baer's use of scripture throughout the book. Its a light read.

This book's worth a million!

Million Dollar Dilemma was not the typical chick-lit book, well, it was, but there was something different about it. It made me actually think about my own life. I think of most chick-lit books as just an easy read-something to get my mind off my daily routine and life. This book made me actually think, "WHAT WOULD I DO IF I WON 20 MILLION DOLLARS?" My initial reaction was, well I would give 25% to the church (I mean, look how much I have...I don't need it ALL...), put 50% in savings, and then buy a new car, a nice outfit, take a trip, etc. with the rest. But by the end of the book I understood it all. MONEY DOES NOT BUY HAPPINESS. This book is a wonderful book in making you realize that very important proverb. The ONLY thing I didn't really like about this book is that I was a little concerned with Baer's idea of the main character falling in love with a man who was not firm in his Christian walk, whereas she was. It all turned out okay, and the man WAS a Christian, he was just not EQUALLY yoked with her, because she was so very strong in her faith and he was not. Minor detail though, and he came back to the Lord, strong as ever in the end. Great book though!

What would you do if you won the lottery?

A completely entertaining and thought-provoking novel! The characters are likeable. The main plot involves our main character splitting lottery winnings with her office mates. As a Christian, she is conflicted over this because she wouldn't have played the lottery on her own. She only contributed to the lottery ticket because she thought she was chipping in for a gift for a co-worker. Judy Baer is a very creative and colorful writer. Million Dollar Dilemma was a fast-moving, fun read. But it did get me thinking about how I would behave in the same situation. How do you really know if someone likes you for you or for your net worth?

Inspiring Fiction

I found Cassia's "scripture spouting" very inspiring. I would like to have as many scriptures on the tip of my tongue as she does and have been encouraged to add verses to my memory bank. What better way to live by God's word than to be able to recall it when you are in any given situation. I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys Christian chick-lit!
