Title: 5 Simple Steps to Financial Freedom
Author: Dan Willis
Genre: Finances/Christian living
Release date: January 8, 2019
Publisher: Whitaker House

As a young and naïve pastor, Dan Willis maxed out twenty-three credit cards and ruined his credit to support his ministry. It wasn’t until massive debt caused the cards to stop working that he realized that God never asked him to do this. Through his candor and honesty, Dan reveals the five steps God showed him to get out of debt: stop spending, create a budget, develop a debt payoff plan, begin saving, and repair bad credit. This led him to becoming a thriving and financially-free ministry. Now, Dan is on a mission to teach this to the world. Using biblical principles, but not relying on miracles or “name-it-and-claim-it” theology, Dan provides easy-to-follow, practical steps that can be used by anyone to escape financial bondage. Finally, he encourages readers to use their financial freedom to help others and advance God’s kingdom, and to use their newfound fiscal wisdom to store up wealth. Without shaming those who struggle financially, 5 Simple Steps to Financial Freedom is the perfect combination of spiritual wisdom and practical advice for those who desperately need it.

About the Author

As a young boy, Dan Willis’s dreams involved entering the medical field until that fateful day when, at age sixteen, he was called to “temporarily” take over the pastor position of a local church. More than thirty years later, Dan is still there, serving as the senior pastor of The Lighthouse Church of All Nations in Alsip, Illinois. He took the small ministry of sixteen people and nurtured it into a thriving multicultural body of more than 1,500 people. Dan’s previous books with Whitaker House were Freedom to Forget: Releasing the Pain from the Past, Embracing Hope for the Future and Praise Is My Weapon.

Not 23 Ways to Money Greatness or 67 Options to Financial Well Being. Just Five Simple Steps to Financial Freedom. Why complicate this? Wipe out debt and create wealth.

My Thoughts and Review:
We live in a society that everyone wants to "Keep up with the Joneses". This type of thinking and "lifestyle" gets very costly. Many rack up debt by applying for Credit Card after Credit card, including the store cards. Dan Willis was one of those who had 23 credit cards, all maxed out. Once he came to the realization that this was too much debt, he took steps to get himself out of debt. He felt God leading him to get out of debt so that he can better minister his church and congregation.

The 5 Steps that Dan Willis took and felt led by God are:
1. Stop the Spending
2. Budgeting is Cool
3. The Payoff Plan
4. How to Save
5. Repairers of the Breach

The book is short and it gets to the point fast and easy. Dan Willis tells it like it is with the Steps to get out debt. He believes Faith and Finances go together and you have to have faith to get your finances in order. He believes once your finances are in order, you will see an increase and be able to bless others.

I really thought Dan Willis has put together a simple, yet very excellent, book that will be a GREAT tool to many who are looking to become Debt Free! GREAT BOOK!
