Mark Parrett and Steven Manuel describe one of the most important skills anybody can master when it comes to financial acumen: the ability to deal with debt. First of all, what does the Bible say? Is it legal for Bible people to borrow (or lend) with interest? Then: is getting out of all debt ASAP always the best policy? Might there be GOOD debt as well as BAD debt? And what does LEVERAGE really mean? Also: what about that time the fellas went out to Las Vegas to watch some hoops?
