It is nice to know that I've been doing our taxes right for the years I've been doing them. I would have liked more discussion about the difference in tax burden/housing allowance for pastors that live in a parsonage. I did manage to learn two things that will save us over $1,000 in taxes, so I'm really excited about implementing them.

The book was quite repetitive, and could have been more straightforward in explaining what to do, which tax forms a pastor should be using, etc. It is helpful, but I would have liked an even more practical guide than what this is.
