I was really looking forward to reading this book and following the 21 Day Financial Fast. I've followed Singletary's column in the Post for a long time and I have always really liked it. I was expecting the book to be similar to her column, which is why I was so surprised by the book. The advice in the book is completely based on conservative Christian values.
On Day 2 the focus is to identify which of the Ten Commandments you have broken that have left you broke.
Day 4 is an entire chapter devoted to tithing. And her advice in this chapter is where she lost me. Her advice on how to agree with your spouse on tithing (if one does not want to tithe and the other does), is that the wife should "submit to his leadship" and go with her husband's wishes. But for the opposite, if the wife wants to tithe and the husband does not, she says that the wife should "Make an appeal for tithing without becoming disrespectful of belligerent. Do what you can to make your case but don't go against his wishes. You could tithe off the amount of money allocated in your budget for your own personal use."
I really tried to stick with this book, even though from the start is was overwhelmingly Christian focused. I thought that I could separate out the biblical references and conservative ideology and apply the financial principles to my situation. But Singletary has mixed them together so thoroughly that it is clear she feels you can only be financially successful if you follow her belief system.
There should have been mention of these conservative Christian views in the description of the book. On the entire back cover description there is not a single mention of God or religion, which is particularly deceptive since there is not a single page in the whole book that does not have a bible verse or reference to "God given" money/wealth.

What surprised me about this book was the layout. It does not follow the typical financial advice book that you read through as your schedule permits. This book is organized with a short introduction chapter followed by 21 short chapters, one for each day of the fast. She also encourages you to keep a journal and has a journal topic/activity at the end of the day to help you really dig into yourself to examine yourself and create change. I think it would be almost impossible to read the book, earnestly do the journal entries and not walk away with a more Godly attitude toward money.
I am a Christian, and while others have rated the book low because it was written from a Christian perspective, that is exactly what I appreciate about it. This is not just advice to teach you how to be rich in a worldly way. It is financial advice designed and presented in a format that seeks to create change in Godly people who want to better use the resources God has blessed us with so that we become spiritually rich and financial wise.
I am so thankful to have purchased this book after hearing an interview with the author on NPR. It is helping me to create healthy financial changes in my heart and to my wallet.
