Picture
19 year old Sara Barratt lives a life on fire for Jesus and has written a book to help other teens do the same. In a nutshell, it is a book about loving other people and telling them about Jesus. She uses stories from her own life plus the lives of others as an example. I highly recommend it.

A Sneaking Suspicion - John Dickson

5/11/2020

Picture
If you have a sneaking suspicion there is a God but you're not quite sure, then this book is for you. It's a great book to give to friends who have questions too. John Dickson is an Australian dude who was a doubter himself until he dug deeper and found Jesus. In this book he:
  • looks at some current issues from both a secular (worldly) point of view and a Biblical point of view,
  • debunks some myths about Christianity,
  • shares stories from his own faith journey
  • explains Christianity in a nutshell.
The whole book is only 149 pages long and is an easy read. You don't need a degree in Theology to understand it. I highly recommend it - even if you're already a Christian, it will help you understand more about God and the Bible.

How to have your life not suck - Bianca Juarez Olthoff

11/9/2020

I'm reading this book at the moment and loving the lessons that Bianca draws from the story of Ruth about how to live life well. It is an open, honest look at life lessons she has learned and wants to pass on to other young women. She covers dating and relationships, faith and spirituality and adulting and growing up. I highly recommend it for older teens.

Book Review: Radiant

Priscilla Shirer wrote this book in response to the movie, Overcomer, which she acted in. Priscilla has been in full-time ministry to women for 20 years. The title, Radiant, was inspired by Psalm 34:5 which says, Those who look to him are... radiant.
It is specifically written for teen girls and young women to help them find their identity in Christ. There are some inspiring stories from her own life including how  her hair style encouraged a community. I wish I had read it when I was a teenager.

Book Review: Hanging In There - John Dickson

11/2/2020

Picture
I'm a fan of John Dickson's work and this book is no exception. He wrote it for teens  and it is very easy to read - I read a chapter each morning in my quiet time. I think the blurb says it best: "This is a book about God, you, the Bible, prayer, church, relationships, sex, feelings, doubts, love and, above all, hanging in there as a Christian."

It is a must read for all teens. I think it would be especially helpful for new Christians and even those who aren't Christians yet but have questions.  John shares stories from his own experience - it's very relatable for both guys and girls.
