One question I am often asked is what would be the very Best Books on Money, Investing and Finances to read if I could recommend any to someone new to the topic overall?
Finding a great book about money is really like finding a golden ticket – if you manage to grasp the concepts within it and apply them for success, really your financial worries could be over for good.
However, I have found in the UK that finding a great book dedicated to this particular part of the world and how our money works can be very tricky, so I wanted to share with you my very favourite ones that if you are looking to dive into the topics of money management and investing over the next few months – then you have found a great place to start.
With these books I would recommend reading them at least twice all the way through so you understand the key concepts and even better make notes as you go along so that you can apply the strategies they mention.
Really there is no power in knowledge unless you take the step to apply what you have read and enjoy so I hope you will love these books as much as I do when I first read them on my financial security and freedom journey.

Not a fan of reading?
I strongly recommend Audible for listening to one free audio book each month – I use it when travelling and when I need a little bit of “me time” during a busy working day.
The 5 Best Books on Finances and Money that will change your money forever!
- The Bible
We are starting with the obvious here, but the Bible is the Greatest textbook we have in life for every single situation we could handle and that even includes the best design and strategies for success with our money and businesses. I am a Christian by faith, and therefore reading my Bible every day is one of my key habits to ensure that I am acting with my finances and businesses how I should be to help others and honour God. I urge you to pick up a copy, and you will find over 2350+ references and teachings on handling money and using it properly.
Within the Bible you will learn how to make giving and generosity part of your finances and where the key principles I teach about money have come from – timeless wisdom that works as it is straight from our Creator to us. You can check out some of my favourite versions of the Bible and tools here on my Amazon Store Front.
2. A Good Return: Biblical Principles for Work, Wealth and Wisdom by John Lennox
“A Good Return does not provide maxims to get you through the day. Instead, it is a book that encourages Christians to view their workspace, be it field, car, classroom or office, as an avenue of worship” is exactly how Amazon describes this book and it does indeed provide great financial insight that allow for wealth and success with our finances. Practical and relatable for those new to wanting to use money as a tool rather than have it control them any further – and with Bible scriptures to back up the key concepts – it is a great starter book around handling money and wealth to honour God.

3. Redeeming Money: How God Reveals and Reorients Our Hearts by Paul David Tripp
This is an amazing finances and money focused Bible devotion book, that leads you through some tough and challenging prompts to challenge and shake up your money mindset and even if you have wrong thinking in that area that is holding you back. You can take each chapter as a daily prompt reading or read the book as chapters, and I thoroughly enjoyed this book as a way for me to really start to see money as a tool to use in my life rather than controlling what I did.

4. The Lifestyle Investor by Justin Donald
The Lifestyle Investor by Justin Donald is truly one of the money and finances books that changed how I view using and my priorities with money. It explains the key mindset and thinking around investing, and key questions we need answered before we even consider investing in a company or opportunity – allowing us to truly use money as a tool to increase income and also honour our responsibility for good financial stewardship. A great read and one that you will take very proactive and practical tips and want to apply them straight away. You can pick up a copy of it from my Amazon affiliate link here.
5. The Money Stacks Method Budget Book by Jennifer Thomson
Over the past years I have been also working on many resources and books that I hope will help you with your finances, and my budgeting planner I believe will do just that. My final book selection is my own budget book that includes sections you use to plan your budget spending every month, tracking extra incomes, paying off debt and other very practical ways to manage your money. Designed to be used for three months, this paperback budget planner will give you the tools to kick start your financially healthy journey ahead. You can pick up a copy here using my Amazon Affiliate link too, and thank you for the kind support of my work.
I really hope you enjoy these finance and money books that are my personal favourites for those based in the UK.
