Description

Born to shop. A woman's place is in the mall. We laugh at the stereotype of woman shoppers, but the reality is that millions of women struggle with handling money. With compassion and understanding, Karen O'Connor helps women evaluate their spending habits through questions that include: Does spending money make you feel better? Do you shop when you're under stress? Do you dread having your money-handling habits exposed? From excessive shopping to penny-pinching, from splurging to refusing to buy necessities, Karen explores the reasons behind the misuse of money. Then, drawing on her experiences and biblical insights, she reveals practical strategies readers can use to develop a healthy view of money and regain control of their spending.

For Erin, with love and appreciation.

Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, “Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you” (Hebrews 13:5).

Grace and peace be yours in abundance through the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord (2 Peter 1:2).

Acknowledgments

I wish to thank the many courageous women who shared with me their experiences, strength, and hope. This book would not have been possible without them. All names and identifying details have been disguised to protect their privacy, unless they gave permission to do otherwise. I also thank the many professionals who generously opened to me their writings, their research, their expertise, and their observations on the topic of women and debt. I am grateful to my literary agent, Janet Kobobel Grant, and the staff at Harvest House Publishers for believing in this project and supporting me in completing it. And finally, I acknowledge and thank my husband, Charles Flowers, for his love and partnership.
