Cathi Brese Doebler

By Lisa Littlewood

If you’ve ever wondered if your family could survive on less than two incomes, if you and your spouse have argued about needing to spend less money, or if, quite simply, you’re tired of trying to ‘keep up with the Joneses’ then check out the new book by Cathi Brese Doebler Ditch the Joneses and Discover Your Family. Doebler offer Biblical and practical perspectives on how to save money, live on less, and in the process gain valuable time with your family.

Doebler based the book on workshops she has been teaching on the subject for several years—workshops comprised on techniques she and her husband had found to be successful in their own lives. Dobler says she and her family have found a sense of freedom in striving not to keep up with other families, but to make choices that are best for them. “We have made choices that we feel are best for our family. When you focus your life on God’s purpose for you and your family that helps you make decisions about everything,” she says. “I’m hoping that this book helps people who feel those demands and want a practical and faith based way to think through some of the most important decisions they’ll make for their families.”

Doebler’s book is available at a number of local Christian bookstores, including the Buffalo Christian Center bookstore and Bender’s Parable Bookstore. You can find more information about her book on her web site at www.ditchthe.com.
