This is a Christian faith-based book, but Larry Burkett gives insightful, and practical counsel on how to survive the cutback from two incomes to one. He thoughtfully deals with a wide range of topics: preparing to live on one income, developing and living on a budget, dealing with the lack of self-esteem, coping with an unsupportive spouse, creating income while staying at home, being willing to make sacrifices, homeschooling the children, and finally re-entering the workforce. Women who have made the transition from marketplace to home share honest, personal accounts of victories, setbacks, fears, and joys. If you desire to be a stay-at-home mom but fear financial disaster, then this book will help guide you in the right direction. Full of excellent advice.
