Customer Reviews

Eye-opening; thought provoking

Once I started this book, I could not put it down. With each part of Adele's journey, I took a deeper look into my own life's journey and my relationship with money. Do we ever make peace with money? If so, how? These are questions I never really thought of before. But when reading this book, I felt compelled to answer them. And these answers --- and the path I took to find them --- are making a profound difference in how I am leading my life.

A Life Opening Book

This book is a breath of fresh air for anyone struggling to have a healthy relationship with money in their life. The book is a compilation of stories of how various women have dealt with their money challenges of proverty and prosperity throughout their lives. The most helpful lesson I learned from this was thinking of money as something available to serve your life...rather than serving money itself. Azar-Rucquoi does an excellent job of showing that God wants an abundant life for all of us - and the real solution is to trust Him in whatever financial circumstances we find ourselves in. It was an enjoyable read and I applaud the author for her unique and relevant way of handling a very elusive subject.

Thoughtful and thought-provoking reading

Money As Sacrament: Finding The Sacred In Money is a book written by peace activist Adele Azar-Rucquoi especially for women. Encompassing the author's own personal experiences, the candid and informative interviews of more than 50 women are drawn from a variety of backgrounds, and exhibit a thoughtful scrutiny of just what money is and the potential it has. Thoughtful and thought-provoking reading, Money As Sacrament blends the practical and the spiritual into an even whole concerned with balancing needs of the body with needs of the soul.

Unique approach to money

A lively and interesting compilation of the stories of over 50 women and their very varied experiences with and perceptions of money. Interspersed with the author's own unique account (from salesperson in her family's grocery store as a young girl, to years in a convent, and then managing her own inheritance later in life) it is a thought-provoking read, and may well change the way you think about money.

Finnally!

Adele Azar-Rucquoi has touched a soft spot in the life of women.Women seldom discuss money in the manner that the author guides its readers and/or workshop participants.This book should be a must-read for women. The reader is challenged to comfront the role money plays in their lives. When was the last time any of us ever did that?The author's life experiences (and there are many) make the reading light and interesting.I would love to see her discussing Money as Sacrament with Oprah. It would be interesting to see how money fits in her life.A great book with a unique angle for an old taboo: money.
