“Before the course started we were dipping more and more into our savings. Now, without a change in our monthly income, we are well on our way to having a one month emergency fund, and have weathered a few financial storms in the meantime without breaking a sweat.”
Ashland Ward Member
“This is definitely an inspired program. You can get the book, but you miss most of the good stuff if you just read the book. The power is in the group discussions. It is refreshing to hear so many opinions, problems, and possible solutions.“
Wadsworth Ward Member
“Not only have I learned the principles of self-reliance, but how to overcome the “natural-man tendencies” and navigate problems that arise. As a result of this program, I have a brighter hope for my future, both temporally and spiritually.”
