Author Spotlight

Author Spotlight: Craig McKinnis and Get Good at Money: A Beginner’s Guide to Investing

Meet the Author

Craig McKinnis is a financial educator, speaker, and host of the Money Ministry podcast. Through his writing, speaking, and teaching, he helps individuals and families develop a healthier relationship with money by replacing fear and uncertainty with clarity, confidence, and practical action. His approach combines financial education with principles of stewardship, long-term thinking, and sustainable habits, making complex investing concepts accessible to everyday readers.

About the Book

Get Good at Money: A Beginner’s Guide to Investing is an approachable introduction to investing for readers who want to better understand how money works without feeling overwhelmed. Rather than focusing on complicated strategies or chasing quick results, the book emphasizes foundational principles, consistency, emotional discipline, and long-term decision-making. Written in a calm and accessible style, it helps readers build confidence while developing habits that support lasting financial well-being.

Inspiration Behind the Book

The inspiration for the book grew from a simple observation: many people struggle with money not because they lack intelligence or motivation, but because they were never taught how investing and financial decision-making truly work. Craig wanted to create a resource that removes the intimidation often associated with investing and provides readers with a practical, encouraging path forward. Drawing from both professional experience and personal insights, he wrote the book to help people move from financial anxiety toward confidence and peace of mind.

Why Readers Love It

Readers appreciate the book’s clear, conversational style and its ability to simplify complex financial topics without talking down to the audience. Rather than promoting high-pressure tactics or unrealistic promises, the book focuses on practical habits, steady progress, and a balanced approach to wealth building. Its encouraging tone resonates especially with readers who feel intimidated by investing or uncertain about where to begin.

Who Should Read It

This book is ideal for beginning investors, individuals looking to improve their financial confidence, families seeking a practical introduction to money management, and anyone who wants a calmer, more sustainable approach to investing. It is also a strong fit for readers interested in financial stewardship, personal growth, and building long-term financial stability.

Looking Ahead

Craig McKinnis continues to educate and encourage audiences through his writing, speaking engagements, and the Money Ministry podcast. His ongoing mission is to make financial understanding more accessible and help people develop healthy financial habits that support purposeful, confident living. Readers can expect continued conversations around investing, stewardship, mindset, and practical financial decision-making.

Where to Find It

Get Good at Money: A Beginner’s Guide to Investing is available through major online booksellers and can be ordered through bookstores worldwide. Readers can also follow Craig McKinnis through his podcast, author platforms, and social media channels to learn more about his work and ongoing financial education initiatives.
