By Stephanie B. Blake

Book Overview

"Money is often on my mind. Chances are it is on your mind, too. Whether we have a lot of it, just enough of it, not much of it or none at all, money is on our minds."With frugality in her DNA, the author explains her lengthy subtitle in the foreword: "Since your perception of riches has a great deal with how you approach your handling of money, the best starting place is: Money: How to Rich Without It. In this book, I talk about millionaires who don't fit the profile you would normally expect as well as some people I know who are rich beyond description although they don't have any money. In these two extremes, I found a common denominator: the right attitude toward money.... perhaps it's time to rethink the wisdom of those who have gone before us. A miserly attitude is not the answer, but because they survived during some very rough times, maybe their advice is worth another look, thus the reason for a look at: Money: How to Stretch It Using Ten Hints from the Past.We do, however, live in the 21st century and have advantages that our ancestors could not have even dreamed of, thus the addition of: and the Technology of Today. The appendix has an abundance of websites and resources that will help you stretch your dollars." This description may be from another edition of this product.

Misleading Title - Book is TRASH

This is an absolutely awful book - the title is quite misleading in that the author does not present anything relevant to his argument. The entire book is him just ranting about how Catholics MUST obey the Pope - that he is the supreme and universal teacher of the church. Because Broggolio is currently the Pope, I highly disagree with this.. .. Throwing this book in the trash where it belongs .

Vatican II, a perspective of authority.

Many things were written about this life changing event for the Catholic Church but rarely has one included the spiritual dimension as well. Ralph McInerny captures the moment and brings us to an understanding which calls Catholics to unity and renewal.

Hint: It wasn't the Council....

In the decades following the second Vatican Council, Catholics remain confused about it. What was its purpose? Did it really change everything and try to strip away Catholic identity? Why did we even need it? The Catholic Church was in great shape in the years immediately preceding the council.... wasn't it? This book provides some valuable insight into what the council was about and why it was necessary. It also exposes...

Prophetic

Unlike some of the other reviewers, I did not find the title misleading because what went wrong with Vatican II was not Vatican II itself. Unfortunately, the Council, its documents, and subsequent documents with Church authority have been deliberately misinterpreted or ignored by people acting without authority.

Problems with authority?

Dr.McInerny goes right to the root of the problem: AUTHORITY! As he shows, especially since Humanae Vitae, there are many in the Church who do not like to be told what to do. That is the problem, plain and simple! I got real big kick, when he explained how priests were advising couples to use birth control prior to the proclamtion of Humanae Vitae. What a surprise for those priests!!This book is a must read for those...
