Creating the "money machine": Perry shows how to build a personal "money machine" to generate real cash flow with the right investment choices for you--stocks, mutual funds, real estate--and understand the tax choices that affect your cash flow.

Never mind that I had a business degree and hosted a national radio show for women. ” —Carolyn Castleberry “A must-read for anyone who desires to find significance in life.” -Kelly Wright, National network correspondent “God has always had His love and favor on women, and when we understand our role from God’s perspective, we become liberated to fulfill our purpose.” -Anne Beiler, Founder of Auntie Anne’s, Inc. “God never said for you to be either passive or in the dark about money. Read this and get busy. You will be glad you did.” -Dr. Henry Cloud, Bestselling author of the Gold Medallion Award-winning Boundaries Story Behind the Book “The day I realized I didn’t know anything about money—even though I have a business degree and experience hosting a national business radio show for women—was the day I held my baby girl in my arms for the first time. I did not have a choice about whether to work or stay at home; we simply didn’t have enough money. After applying this financial model, I was able to walk away from a job in television news that I had held for fourteen years. God means it when He offers us abundant life, here and eternally. This book reveals a realistic example for today’s women who long to be free and have meaningful, prosperous lives.” —Carolyn Castleberry
