1 Jason @ One Money Design

Craig, I have a few to add that are on my favorites/recommended list! Debt Free Living by Larry Burkett, Your Money Map by Howard Dayton, Your Money Counts by Howard Dayton, Free and Clear by Howard Dayton. As a Money Map Coach, I guess I enjoy some of the books written by the Crown Financial Ministries founders. Thanks for your top 10. You’ve definitely add to me list of books to read.

2 Monroe on a Budget

Debt-Free Living by Larry Burkett is good.

Larry also once wrote a book for single parents – while the details would be now out of date, I really appreciated having a national expert addressing the specific challenges for that demographic.

I would add the book that I reviewed last week called “Money. Purpose. Joy.” by Christian author Matt Bell.

@Peter, @Monroe on a Budget, @ Jason. Thanks for the book suggestions. I have Debt Free Living (bought it used this week for $1.50) and I look forward to getting into the book. I look forward to adding these books to my ‘want’ list.

5 Meryl van der Merwe

When our kids turn 13 we give them an allowance that they have to use to buy their own clothing, gifts, movie tickets etc from. At that point we get them to work through Larry Burkett’s Money Management for Teens, and I can highly recommend that.
