Reviews

Don Snider’s book,”Beyond the Bling” is a must read for anyone who is willing to take charge of his/her financial future. Don narrates his life as an entrepreneur while following closely the life of the Prophet Elijah at the Brook Cherith. His sole dependence on God’s provisional nature is a refreshing view that should lead anyone to a renewed faith in God and the knowledge that he has an assigned place of blessing for us to experience and enjoy. I highly recommend this book!

Good book-great anecdotes for financial literacy. Catchy title that goes to the heart of today’s consumerism. An easy read with real world understanding. I fully endorse. Should be on the coffee table of every American family.

Wow !!!! ” Beyond The Bling” is a modern day classic. Don Snider masterfully brought home the fact that true wealth is not about money. This book is a blue print for fiscal responsibility and a wonderful example of financial literacy. Beyond The Bling is the real thing.
