Poor Richard’s Almanack Giveaway

A few years ago I got a copy of Poor Richard’s Almanack (by Benjamin Franklin) and really loved it. It is full of common-sense wisdom in proverb form. It turns out that in Ben’s day they had a lot of the same issues that we have today, just in different packages.

Since I really enjoyed the book, I thought it would make a great giveaway this week – oh and if you want to just go get yourself a used copy, it is one of the best personal finance books that you can get for under $1.

What do you need to do to win the book?

In order to be entered for a chance to win the book just follow these steps…

1. Head over to the ChristianPF Forums before 11:59 p.m. CST on June 18th, 2009.
2. Sign up, if you have not already. (Don’t worry, it is a very quick process)
3. Leave a comment by joining one of the threads/conversations or starting a new one.

The winner will be randomly selected using random.org. The winner will be announced on June19th in the forums!!
