Robertson, primarily known as a religious leader, puts on his businessman's hat to dispense advice about financial management. He has been successful in worldly matters, starting the Christian Broadcasting Network (CBN) and growing the relief agency Operation Blessing into a worldwide relief and development agency. That said, he hasn't made his name as a financial guru, and this is a financial management 101 kind of book. There's Christian content, too-tithing, the charitable giving of 10% of income, is mentioned early on as a necessity. Financial education is a perennial need that is particularly pressing now, and this book contains helpful information, including a glossary of terms. It lacks unique content, but will likely sell to CBN and 700 Club viewers and any other loyalists. (May 27
