"If you work with couples or families, this book is an indispensable resource! The authors address real issues and give practical steps to financial and relational health." --Les Parrott, author of You're Stronger Than You Think.

"Tim Clinton and Scott and Bethany Palmer have tackled a critical topic with their The Quick-Reference Guide to Counseling on Money, Finances &amp; Relationships. In a day when so many marriages are negatively impacted by financial conflicts, this book will be an invaluable resource to Christian therapists seeking to help couples resolve their "money issues." --Bill Maier, clinical psychologist and radio host.

"For almost forty years I've had the privilege of answering thousands of financial questions and have come to the firm conclusion that almost every financial problem is symptomatic of a spiritual or emotional issue. In many cases the real need is not a financial counselor, but a professional counselor. I am delighted to see this book as a tool for the counseling world." --Ron Blue, president of Kingdom Advisors.
