    Less is Just Right
  

*by P***R on Reviewed in the United States on September 17, 2020*

The author is so transparent and genuine and funny! She’s infused an important topic with lightheartedness that kept me rapt and NOT feeling like I was being lectured. PLUS, she asks the underlying questions that are behind so MUCH of what we do automatically.I smiled at her references to gift-giving love language and at her stories of how her family implemented, pursued, tripped over and thrived during their year of not buying anything new.  Her comments and stories were laced with the grace it takes to undertake anything challenging—we’re going to trip up.  Let’s support each other and move along.  So worth talking about.I will reread and reread and share because she doesn’t lecture; she inspires.And she’s so right about taking the one small step in the direction you’re headed PLUS she gives specific recommendations for how totake these small steps.PLUS, she gave me new books to seek out and read!I found a new favorite quote (one of them):  “…Independence is not the final destination of a fully mature person.  It’s a TOOL through which someone can attain a level of freedom, a level of satisfaction and, yes, even happiness.  But if you stay there, you remain under-developed.”  p. 24It’s now on my FB page.And how delightful it was too, to hear from her kids what THEY experienced, felt, and learned!All in all, a worthwhile and inspiring read.

    A highly worthwhile and practical read
  

*by J***S on Reviewed in the United States on September 21, 2020*

It’s incredible how much stuff we hoard, and yet we continue to buy. I hate clutter, but the commitments of having young children and starting my own business have found me giving up on it, letting it happen.Interestingly, before my business started paying, we pretty-much lived with less because there was barely money for school fees, second-hand uniforms and books, and essential groceries. Now that things are more comfortable, we’re falling into the trap. It’s easier to buy a new something than to take the time to fix or find the old one. Tired after a long day’s work? Easier to have supper delivered. Something small that's on special? Why not - it's not expensive. And, as the book points out, we ‘comfort buy’ as well. Sometimes, for me, there’s also the danger of celebration buying: at last, we can afford it, so let’s get it.I needed to read this book, and I enjoyed reading it. Although there’s a serious message, it’s written with humour and very compelling honesty. It is full of practical ideas, things to act on. For me, the abundance of less is about feeling secure with what we have, about giving away our excess waste to be someone else’s treasure, about having more money to put into mortgage repayments or savings, more money to help those in great need.It will not be easy, but if you can read with an open mind, tackle things one at a time, you will feel as light as your expenditure. But even more, and irreplaceable, you will open yourself up to being blessed by God's provision.

    Definitely Worth the Read
  

*by P***F on Reviewed in the United States on September 19, 2020*

Don’t read this unless you are ready to be convicted-in a good way! I read this book not really thinking I would get a lot out of it because I am not one to spend money on “new” things...or so I thought! This book made me realize that even me, the thrifty one that I am, spends money on used things I can really do without.  It is a really good book about the excess stuff in our lives.I am not a bit surprised about how good this book is though, because Marcy is such a good writer. I think she could write about what life is like from under a rock and I would enjoy it and laugh out loud! She has a way of writing that make the reader feel like she is sitting on the couch with you having a causal conversation. I have read other books written by Marcy Pusey and they also have that same “real person, I have known you forever” feel to them.  I highly recommend not only this book but any book she has written.Way to hit it out of the park, again Ms Pusey!
