Publisher Description
As featured on Oprah's podcast, SuperSoul Conversations
"When money is plentiful, this is a man's world. When money is scarce, it is a woman's world." Unearthed in a 1932 Ladies Home Journal, this quote is the call to arms that begins Peace and Plenty, Sarah Ban Breathnach's answer to the world's-- and her own personal-- financial crisis. As only Ban Breathnach can, she culls together this compendium of advice, deeply personal anecdotes, and excerpts from magazines, books, and newspapers-- particularly those of the Great Depression-- to inspire readers who are mired in today's financial difficulties.
Focusing on her own personal path, Sarah Ban Breathnach will relate never-before revealed details about how she fell from the financial top to the bottom. Readers will immediately see how deeply she understands the plight of those trying to maintain a happy and comfortable home, while at the same time not even knowing if they will be able to make the mortgage to keep that home.
Sarah has proved to be the voice of comfort for years to women who are spiritually bankrupt, and now she will reach to those who are financially strapped, showing them how to pull themselves out of their psychic and fiscal crises while providing deep comfort and reassurance throughout.

"This book really made me open my eyes and take a look at my "financial family tree." It was a very fast read and held my attention throughout. Its reassuring to see that someone successful can have the same problems as the rest of us. "

Peace and Plenty Listener Reviews

" I can't finish this book. It is awful! I enjoyed her other work, so I was surprisingly irritated by this work. "

" I've been a fan of SBB for at least 10 years and this book is no disapoointment. Interesting to see how she lost it all and but is reclaiming her life from those ashes. "

" I had forgotten how much I like her writing style! "
— Sallee, 1/27/2014 -
" Really surprised about all the misfortune that happened to her. I loved Simple Abundance but didn't hear much about her after that. I was a good book but not nearly as good as Simple Abundance. I suppose that's because I'm not in such economical straits as the author and so many of the readers. "

" Good book to get you back on track financially. "
— Cathy, 1/2/2014 -
" (CD) easy to listen to but not much substance. Curious to know if she ever recovered from her losses and expensive divorce. "

" I always love reading books written by Sarah Ban Breathnach, but I appreciated her honesty and openness in this book in particular. She's inspiring! "

" I could not finish it :( I cannot seem to stand self help books anymore. They seem so presumptuous even righteous at times. This book is in the same category I am afraid. This will be the last self help book I will read for a while. "
