Customer Reviews

Fun to Read

Michelle McKinney Hammond is a best-selling author of more than thirty books. She was also a co-host of the television program, Aspiring Women. In her latest book, Divanomics, she describes her personal financial trials and how she learned to get back on track. She writes from a Christian perspective, using humor, good-natured fun, and has a modern, hip tone. I don't normally like "hip" but she does it so well, I actually smiled often as I read. There is so much to glean from this book. Her own financial difficulties are actually fun to read. I mean, who wouldn't want to read about how much money she spent and how the upper-class have to deal with accountants to handle their money? Frankly, it was entertaining. The book is extremely well done. At the end of each chapter, you'll find advice, questions, and suggestions to help you get a grip on your own finances. Her focus on God is inspiring and I enjoyed this book very much. *I received this book from Tyndale House for Review purposes.*

Diva-lite-ful!

"Divanomics: How to Still Be Fabulous When You're Broke" surprised me, in a most rewarding way! I expected a standard "how to." Instead I found pages of lively narrative, soul-searching questions, and practical, easy-to-implement advice. I expected a "diva" attitude (you know, the "waah-I-can't-eat-at-$1000-a-plate-functions any more".) What I found in Divanomics is a realistic point-of-view that speaks to all women, and most enjoyably, a lot of frugal living steeped with spirituality. Overall, this is a great guide for the newly frugal or for those looking to develop a more faith-based resource to help you cope with the stark realities of today's economy. Disclosure: I received this book free from Tyndale House Publishers. I was not required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own.

Divanomics

I am not one who considers herself a diva, but I'm no stranger to financial woes and I love to save money. Divanomics by Michelle McKinney Hammond is not just a book about shopping. It is her personal account (pardon the pun) of her financial difficulties and what she has learned from them. She is sharing her wisdom and knowledge gained from her experiences in order to teach women how to save, spend wisely, and trust God in the midst of financial trouble. She has included several lessons she learned from the Bible about being a good steward, generosity, and the importance of friendship and community during difficult times. I have to admit, I did not have much expectation for this book because so many of these books are fluff and not very practical. Divanomics is a book all women should read and absorb. There is so much useful and practical information throughout the entire book. Michelle's personal experiences and struggles gave this book a warm and comforting feeling. I so appreciated her honesty and her advice. I really came away from this book feeling inspired, uplifted and hopeful. What a pleasant surprise! I will not be putting this book back on the shelf. I will keep it close to me and come back to it often when I need some advice, inspiration, or just a friendly voice. Thank you Michelle.
