"Financial Peace University has, quite literally, changed the way our congregation handles money. With hundreds of our people in the training, we have experienced a noticeable difference in finances and in peace. That's because FPU is both biblical and practical. Further, because it strengthens marriages and families, FPU has actually become an outreach mechanism for us."

"Dave Ramsey's Financial Peace University has been one of our most sought-after discipleship courses at First Baptist Atlanta. The principles learned are well worth the investment."

"The lifestyle changes it takes to eliminate debt 'Ramsey-style' are actually steps to a more Christian, less materialistic way of living. People are paying down debt and saving. They can't buy, buy, buy to fill emotional holes in their lives, which forces them to resolve other issues."

"After taking the class, we now have hope. Lives are being changed as we now have a plan and are getting our financial house in order. During the 13 weeks, we had people in our class saving $1,000 for the first time for an emergency fund. We had people becoming debt-free. One couple paid off their house, and they're totally debt-free. One broken marriage was mended."

"My husband recently quit taking credit cards as a payment method from his customers. It was a big decision, but it was hard for us to teach other people to cut up credit cards and yet accept payment on them in order to put money into our pockets. But God has provided, business is booming, and we haven't lost any income. The gazelle intensity has taken us to a whole new level. By the way, we'll be debt-free in two months (or less). That's over $30,000 in just 10 months!"

"We put people through the Financial Peace University class, and then they came to the church and said we were a bunch of hypocrites for being so overwhelmed with debt while trying to help people get out of debt. So the church took it seriously, and we're now a debt-free ministry with a positive cash flow and $1 million in the bank to reach people for Christ."

"The wife of the church treasurer attended our fall FPU, and no amount of rational argument would get her husband, the accountant, to come. In the spring, I asked him how contributions were holding up at church. He said they were doing very well. I asked him, 'Do you have any theories as to why that would be?' To my surprise, he said, 'I think its FPU.' Apparently several of our families have become more regular in their contributions, and at least a couple of them have begun to tithe."

"My wife and I took Financial Peace University through our church. The principles I learned changed my life and how I handle money forever. I was the one who wasn't involved in our finances; I just knew the bills got paid and didn't worry about how. I was going through life with blinders on just knowing everything was okay because my wife handled it. After 12 years of marriage, my wife and I are truly on the same page about finances."

"Last night, my husband and I did our budget and paid the bills together and when we were done, we hugged and kissed. Our 7-year-old came up to me and said, 'Mommy, you aren't crying and Daddy didn't yell, what happened?' This was the first time in five years we didn't have a fight over the bills."

"A year after my husband Ken and I were married, he had a stroke, which left him a quadriplegic. His mind is very much intact but his body cannot move or speak. When we started our budget, it was the first time since the stroke 21 years ago that Ken showed interest in our finances. He saw some things that I hadn't noticed that would save money. We are putting the bills online so that he can pay them. The first time that I didn't have to pay the bills, I sat down and cried because it was one thing that I didn't have to worry about, and he just lit up knowing that he was an active part in making my life easier. We actually laugh together when we do our budget and enjoy working and building our future together."

"The class blew us away! Almost every class had something new for us to learn or helped us look at our finances in a totally different way. It answered questions that we had in the past but were probably too embarrassed to ever ask. We have gone from saving $350 per month to almost $1,800 per month while paying all our necessities, having no debt besides our house, and still being able to enjoy an occasional dinner out with our family of five. For the first time in 15 years of marriage, we are on the exact same page with our finances. This class has truly been a blessing to our marriage and our family."

"During Financial Peace University, we were able to pay off most of our debt, fund our emergency fund, rededicate our lives to Christ, and join the church where we graduated from. My wife and I have never been this stress free! We are so happy! This may seem like a small miracle to you all because you receive so many stories, but it's amazing to us."

"I am so thankful that the course was offered at my church and that I had the opportunity to enroll. I can truly say that was one of the best investments I ever made with my time and money. During this past year, I became debt-free except for my house, and I had my first big-time financial emergency. My entire central air conditioning system had to be replaced. While the whole ordeal was stressful, I was actually able to write out a check for the entire system and installation. I cannot tell you how good it felt to not have to worry about how to pay."

"When I lost my job, we knew we were going to be okay. The peace of mind we had knowing we didn't have to worry about car loans, credit card bills, student loans or medical bills—and that our emergency fund would provide for us until I found another job—was a real blessing."
