Making Life Rich Without Any Money by Phil Callway

In a time when readers have experienced the transitory nature of the economy, Phil Callaway shares fascinating characteristics of truly rich people—characteristics that have nothing to do with money and everything to do with wealth. Readers will nod their heads knowingly, smile, and sometimes laugh out loud as they read about…


The perils and joys of a SITCOM family (Single Income Three Children Oppressive Mortgage)


Phil’s new appreciation for his wife after a memorable “Mr. Mom” experience


One family’s surprising response when they are literally “creamed” by a dairy truck


A lasting male friendship forged over an unlikely object—a lawnmower


A startling phone call that changed Phil’s life


True wealth doesn’t come with any material possessions. Through warmth and laughter, Callaway shows that the best things in life are not really things, after all. In this tough economic climate, readers may be surprised to learn that they may find real richness even in their own backyards.

This is a great book. The author uses stories from his life and the lives of others to show what really makes us rich - and it isn't money. I found myself feeling guily and convicted by what I read - not only does he show what truly does make people rich, he also shows how we need to be more thankful for what we do have. I enjoyed the book extremely.

I first ran across Phill Callaway's books in the late 90's. He had a couple of books with amusing titles such as Daddy I Blew Up The Shed. I started buying all of his books I could find. This was in my pre-computer-owning days, so I mailed him snail mail to buy a couple I couldn't find in stores. In addition to sending me the books, he also sent me some kind of candy they have in Canada.

Since that time, I have bought most - maybe all of his books - since my books are in storage, I can't confirm if I am missing any or not. He is a very enjoyable author to read. I would recommend him over Max Lucado. I guarantee his books to make you cry, smile, and even laugh out loud - yet his books aren't  light fluff, or feel-good book. He has his own style, and gets his message across - and Making Life Rich Without Money is no different - you will smile, laugh, cry, and come away thankful for what you have and convicted to slow down and smell the roses.
