In the coming months, I’m hoping to pause each Thursday to give you a Slaying the Debt Dragon update and loop you in on the process so you get a behind the scenes look at what I’ve been up to and learn ways you can help promote the book. You are my BEST publicist. You know our story. You walked with us. You’ve heard me speak. You’ve heard me whine. You’ve watched the video of us paying the final debt. You have traveled the road. You know who needs to hear a message of hope when it comes to finances.
Hello again! I’m excited to share some more of the incredibly kind endorsements of the book. Again, it was one of the more fun, albeit very frightening, parts of the journey. If you missed last week’s endorsements, you can read the first installment of Slaying the Debt Dragon Update: Endorsements. Without further ado, here are more
A plethora of words come to mind after reading this incredible book: insightful, honest, practical, challenging, wise, and useful. Cherie Lowe tells her saga with humor, guts, and raw transparency. It is a story that will encourage you to face your own debt dragon with hope and determined courage.
— Kurt W. Bubna, Pastor and author of Epic Grace: Chronicles of a Recovering Idiot
I met Kurt last year at re:write. He was the first winner of the same publishing contest that I won. He has given me incredible insight and encouragement in the last year. His wisdom has been incredibly valuable and his kindness so appreciated. Having his stamp of approval means a great deal to me. He’s a fantastic author and it brings me great joy to call him a friend.
In today’s world, financial choices we thought would bring happiness often turn into chains that keep us from experiencing the freedom that is ours through Jesus. Cherie Lowe will give you the practical tips, tools, and encouragement you need to break the bondage of financial burdens and discover how to live a truly abundant, joyful life.
— Holley Gerth, Bestselling author of You’re Going to Be Okay
During the summer of 2013, I read Holley Gerth’s You’re Made for a God-Sized Dream: Opening the Door to All God Has for You. I quickly fell in love with her encouraging spirit. Honestly, her words emboldened me to speak out loud that I wanted to be an author. Every week, I’m blessed by her blog – which is filled with joy and and a precious zeal for life.
If you’ve ever had a panic attack trying to develop a budget, wanted to get out of debt but don’t know where to start, or said the words, “I’m just not a numbers person,” then you need to read this book today. Cherie Lowe is a kind companion for a difficult journey. She helps you make peace with your pocketbook as you learn to see the beauty in a budget, and she does it with wisdom, grace, and a light heart.
—Emily P. Freeman, Author of A Million Little Ways: Uncover the Art You Were Made to Live
Oh how I love Emily’s whimsical and beautiful soul. She was one of the first to congratulate me after winning the Tyndale Momentum publishing contract and has been a source of inspiration during the journey of writing the book. You must read A Million Little Ways: Uncover the Art You Were Made to Live. It’s not even an option.
With flair, candor, and humor, Cherie Lowe offers a field-tested plan to turn your finances around. Her real-life story, strategies, and no-nonsense advice will help you find the freedom you’ve been dreaming of.
— Scot Longyear, Senior Pastor of Maryland Community Church, Terre Haute, Indiana
I’ve known Scot for well over a decade and he still talks to me. I think this is a testament to his character. Not long after I announced winning, Scot offered to help in any way that he could. He along with four other pastors who were equally excited soon became what I’ve come to dub my “Pastor A-Team.” All five are from different states. All five are from different denominations. All five are in different stages and styles of ministry and yet all five lent their wisdom, encouragement, prayers, and hilarious wit time and again during the writing and editing phases of the book. I am eternally grateful for their impact on my life during this season. I’ve even more thankful for their words of endorsement.
Slaying the Debt Dragon is an honest, freeing, and entirely refreshing read. Cherie’s story inspired me to reevaluate the way I view and spend money. Her wisdom is hard won, and is told with bold, witty authenticity.
— Mary DeMuth, Author of The Wall Around Your Heart
Mary is incredibly seasoned author and a savvy business woman when it comes to the practices of publishing. I’ve turned her blog inside out, devouring every nugget of wisdom that I can find (there are many). I’m so excited to hear her speak yet again this year at re:write! She has a heart for the oppressed and a vulnerable spirit. I love that and I love the fact that she took time out of her busy schedule to lend some words of support.
If you’re not already, I’d love for you to be a member of the Slaying the Debt Dragon Group on Facebook where I’m sharing updates on where I’m at in the process on a regular basis.
