Soaries - Say yes to no debt 12 steps to financial freedom

Praise for
SAY YES TO NO DEBT

I knew Dr. Soaries had a reputation for being an incredible preacher. But to walk into his church is to feel the power of a man who professes to do more than just interpret the Bible he preaches of profound personal transformation. His battle moves the church beyond the struggles of segregation and Jim Crow, to a place where it empowers individuals to change the future for everyone.

Dr. Soaries unique background has prepared him for impactful ministry. This book skillfully illustrates that biblical principles, when applied to our lives, make for practical solutions to everyday challenges. And the area of finances is no different. The church has the message in Scripture. I thank God for using Buster to give us another strategy for spreading that message.

DR. ANTHONY EVANS, senior pastor, Oak Cliff Bible Fellowship, president, The Urban Alternative

In an age of feel good messages and strategies, Buster Soaries exits the road to easy street and invites individuals, churches, ministries, and families to enter the on-ramp to debt-free living. Buster exposes the heart issue associated with an over-consumption lifestyle, and from there he shines a beautiful, practical, and biblical light on the liberation that comes when we unlock the handcuffs of debt. Im personally a student, a believer, and a soul set free.

DAN WOLGEMUTH, president/CEO, Youth for Christ/USA

Dr. DeForest Soaries is a gift to the body of Christ and to everyone who desires to be out of financial bondage. Debt keeps a majority of us bound. We cannot be spiritually free and in financial debt. dfree not only enables us to handle money God's way, it also enables us to be and live the life God desires for us. I endorse and encourage everyone to get, read, and embrace what the book teaches.

BISHOP REGINALD T. JACKSON, African Methodist Episcopal Church

Over the years, I have watched Dr. Soaries courageously tackle some of the more challenging issues of our time. Again, when the economy crumbled, and the housing dreams of so many with it and foreclosures mounted, Soaries and his church responded. Talk is cheap.... He was given yet another dream and vision to help rebuild lives through their debt-free, recovery program. The entire community rejoices in his fine work!

DONALD HILLIARD JR., DMin, senior pastor, Cathedral International

Having known my brother Buster all of my life, I can honestly say he genuinely cares about the financial well-being and economic soundness of those around him. He is a born leader and seeks to empower other leaders to demonstrate care through action. Debt-free living is not really an option. It is a biblical command to owe no man (Romans 13:8). In our complex, modern, social, and economic systems, this seems impossible, but this book reveals otherwise. This must-read book provides a key to breaking free from the myth that creating, accepting, and living in continual debt is the path to wealth and happiness. Instead, it realistically and honestly guides the reader into the truth regarding debt-free living and a life free from the stress of financial mismanagement.

DR. CRAIG E. SOARIES, founder and pastor, Global Empowerment Center

Say Yes to No Debt: 12 Steps to Financial Freedom is exactly what people need to get their finances on track. As a church member who conducts financial seminars at my home church, I am thrilled that there is a resource that I can point fellow members to that will give them a practical guide to using Gods principles to banish debt from their lives and get on a path to true financial freedom.

LISA WARNER PICKRUM, CEO, The RLJ Companies, member, Largo Community Church

It is my joy to endorse such a relevant and timely book. Rev. DeForest B. Soaries Jr. has gained a national reputation as a pastor who has a shepherds heart. This well-earned reputation is powerfully reinforced by this book. In a season where so many are suffering economically, he shares with the reader step-by-step solutions in dealing with and avoiding unnecessary debt. This work deserves a hearty Amen!

BISHOP JOHN R. BRYANT, presiding prelate senior bishop, African Methodist Episcopal Church

In Revelation 1:11, John is told, What thou seest write in a book. My friend and brother Dr. Buster Soaries has, with courage, clarity, and conviction, put pen to paper and, with prophetic tone, confronted the church and community with this powerful message. Because Dr. Soaries saw the danger of debt, he led his people at First Baptist Church of Lincoln Gardens on a brave journey to debt-free living. I strongly recommend dfree to anyone who desires to destroy, drop, or be delivered from debt. This book will change your thinking, your habits it will change your life.

BISHOP TIMOTHY J. CLARKE, senior pastor, First Church of God

With keen theological insight, Dr. Soaries, an able preacher and pastor, places our financial resources within the context of our responsibility as people of God to be good stewards of the resources He has entrusted to us, recognizing the timeless biblical truth that The earth is the Lords (Psalm 24:1). In a consumer-oriented age, this book will help both the church and individuals free themselves from the slavery of debt, delinquency, and deficits that invariably hinder the purposes, plan, and call of Gods kingdom.

REV. DR. J. WENDELL MAPSON JR., pastor, Monumental Baptist Church

In times of severe economic shortfalls, Dr. Soaries has written a timely, insightful, relevant manual for the twenty-first-century church and its leadership. Its a must read for every pastor who desires to lead their congregation toward solid financial stewardship. Soaries takes economic justice into a practical, demonstrative new-think.

REV. GERALD LAMONT THOMAS, PhD, Senior Pastor, Shiloh Baptist Church

When I first moved to New Jersey in 1995, I sought a church a place my family and I could call home and look to for guidance. I was most impressed by Reverend Soaries. He cared not just about our lives on Sunday morning, but was wholeheartedly involved in the entire community Monday through Saturday. During the Imus controversy with the Rutgers womens basketball team in 2007, it was Pastor Soaries who helped us to stand tall. He will always be my inspiration.

C. VIVIAN STRINGER, Rutgers University womens basketball head coach, 2009 Inductee, Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame

DeForest Soaries embarking upon this mission called dfree, aided by the writing of this book, is a natural outcome of his many years of passion for serving and aiding people in discovering the better possibilities for life and living. Having had the privilege of knowing, sharing, and working with Buster in many capacities for forty years, I consider it an awesome challenge keeping up with his level of fervor for serving his fellow man. That being said, this book is a natural as it represents his desire to share, beyond his congregation, with whosoever will, the way to live beyond debt, delinquencies, and deficits.

CALVIN MCKINNEY, pastor, Calvary Baptist Church of North Jersey at Garfield; General Secretary, National Baptist Convention, USA, Inc.

DeForest B. Soaries is a genius. With creative ingenuity, he has developed a plan and a process to liberate individuals, the church and community from financial instability to a life of prosperity. Anyone who is willing to take a leap of faith, and follow the dfree plan will create a whole new existence for themselves. It will work if you work it!

REV. DR. CYNTHIA L. HALE, senior pastor, Ray of Hope Christian Church
