I am seeing light at the end of the bankruptcy tunnel

Had I known about the holy roller content throughout this book (especially in one chapter, but sprinkled throughout), I wouldn't have bought it. I wouldn't have a problem with it at all...except for the fact that such religiously-based content was concealed in the title, description (on the back), & introduction (in the front & back flaps). There was no mention of God, Jesus, Bible, etc. in any of these places. If this author is so keen on using his religious beliefs (inner-mingled with an extremely secular, materialistic topic) to turn a profit...fine. But at least be honest about it. Isn't that one of the tenets of Christianity? If the author is so devoted to his faith, perhaps he shouldn't be shy (shamed?) about shouting from the rooftops that his book is about money and Jesus.

Now...I did give him 2 stars, rather than 1, because there was some valuable information in his book...especially in the first chapter. Heck...had he been up front with the content of his book, I'd probably give him 4-5 stars. I'm not perturbed with the religious stuff being in it. Rather, I feel deceived in not being told the content by the author or publisher.

I bought this book in 1998 after my Chapter 7 bankruptcy. I give this book the credit for me now having a credit score of over 700. I was told by Mr. Synder of a great secured credit card at that time "FCNB" (not available anymore) that was one of the best to help repair credit. I have always paid low interest rates on cars (1.9% thru Honda) and purchased a brand new (just built) home in 2002. I have purchased boats and four wheelers all financed thru reputable lenders. I loved this book!!! I really liked the part where it explained how you need to get a copy of your credit report after discharge and make sure all the outstanding balances are changed to zero. I believe that was the best tip ever. I had a finance manager at a auto dealer tell me I had the best looking bankruptcy credit report ever.

This step by step resource has proven to worth it's weight in Gold!

After reading the reviews, I decided to purchase this book but to skip over the authors opinions (religious or otherwise). I highly recommend if you are skeptical due to the less favorable reviews to do the same. It has provided me with a completely new outlook on my financial future (which I thought was doomed) as well as educated me on credit reports and FICO scores (something I had always dreaded in fear that my reports/scores would be horrendous - which they actually were not).
