Thomas Jefferson once said, \u201cI can not live without books.\u201d I know what he means. Even in the midst of a hectic spring and summer, I found time to read in those in between moments – waiting for appointments, sitting in airports, before bed or during breakfast on days Hiram went to work early and Anne slept in.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

One book, Living with Less So Your Family Has More<\/a>,\u00a0 got me pretty fired up, perhaps because its release coincided perfectly with the beginning of our kids\u2019 married lives, and it\u2019s a must read book for recently married couples and parents of young children. Why? Because the advice and resources contained in it will help them make financial goals and set priorities that can result in positive long term consequences and reap eternal rewards.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The book is divided into four sections. In Part 1, the Savages help readers shape a vision for living with less. In Part 2, they encourage couples to transform their attitudes about money by examining and strengthening their trust in God\u2019s faithful provision. In Part 3, they provide resources – how-to lists, websites, books – so families can put feet to their financial goals and revised priorities.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The eighteen chapters are sprinkled with stories from the Savages\u2019 lives, sometimes from Jill\u2019s point of view and sometimes from Mark\u2019s, along with stories of other families who have learned to live with less. Each chapter ends with a prayer and a \u201cLet\u2019s Talk about It\u201d section to encourage discussion between couples.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The ideas in Living with Less are most effective when implemented by those mentioned above, recently married couples and parents of young children. But, I am recommending this book to many families, regardless of the age of the parents or kids suggestions can help any family, regardless of the age of parents. It\u2019s a book which can help everyone live more frugally and intentionally.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In fact, I\u2019m ordering two copies to give to my children and the spouses they recently married. It would be more frugal to order one copy for my son and his wife and pass along my copy to my daughter and her new husband. But I can\u2019t do that. I need to keep my copy to refer to as I put some of Jill and Mark\u2019s suggestions into practice at our house.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
