"Bob Patton is one of the most generous financial experts you'll ever know. He freely shares from his wealth of financial knowledge and wisdom in practical ways that ordinary people like me can easily grasp and apply immediately. And he genuinely enjoys doing this as a loving service to help God's people gain financial freedom. " -- Charles Gibson, pastor, Northwood Alliance
"There are great Christian teachers on finance -- Larry Burkett, Ron Blue, Dave Ramsey -- and I would put Bob right up there with them. I have attended his financial freedom seminar several times and brought it to my church. It's powerful, challenging, helpful, biblical and very practical. He truly wants people to succeed in their financial life, life debt free, and find the fullness of Christ in the world of money and things. We are super fortunate to have him at Casey this year." -- Jon Mutchler, pastor, Ferndale Alliance Church
