teenage boys. future leaders. future husbands. future parents. good workers. capable light shiners.
Such descriptions can put a lot of pressure on parents raising their precious teenage children for the kingdom of Christ. Fear not, God has provided everything we need through his word! I have found a good church family and great living literature also helps tremendously!

10 Living Books for Christian Teens
Boyhood and Beyond: Practical Wisdom for Becoming a Man is a living literature devotional written directly for teens and packed with practical encouragement for living a life of character and perseverance. my son grew a lot from this book and we can’t wait to start another book by the same author, created for work: practical knowledge for young men.
the squire and the scroll is one of my all-time favorite picture books that can be read by all ages. Through the adventure story of a squire who helps a knight save his kingdom, you will see the squire rely on the word of the lord and his spiritual armor to overcome seemingly hopeless situations. such images and meaning!
charlie’s choice is a lamplighter’s book. yes, I love this editorial! The main character, Charlie, comes to understand that he has choices to make about his attitudes and actions in this world that glorify God or serve his worldly desires. We loved seeing Charlie’s struggles turn into mature decisions throughout the book!

sir malcolm and the missing prince is another book about lamplighters. I’m telling you, I could pretty much endorse anything they’ve posted. In this book, we find a selfish prince who must learn hard lessons about how to help others. As with Charlie’s choice, it’s beautiful to see him mature from the inside out.
Do Hard Things: A Teenage Rebellion Against Low Expectations isn’t just for boys. in fact, almost every book on this list is also appropriate for girls. I call them “great teen books” because they all focus on Christian leadership and/or have strong male characters. By doing hard things, teens are encouraged to use their teenage years for the glory of God. It really challenged my kids!
The Case for Christ: A Journalist’s Personal Investigation into the Evidence for Jesus (Student Edition) was originally purchased to give to a teenage friend struggling to believe in Christianity. before giving it to the friend, we read it ourselves to make sure that he conveys the correct message. Boy, did he ever. This is a great book to solidify the faith of a believer or someone who needs to know Christ.
The tape letters were very difficult for my teenage son to understand. in fact, we put it aside to reread as he grows older. however, i read it through and found it to be a fantastic insight into the devil’s plans to lead us away from christ or a full life in christ. I can’t wait for my son to be ready for this book!
the dawn of the kingdom is an exciting allegory of the bible set in medieval times and full of knights and battles. While most biblical allegories cover a small portion of the Bible, this book, followed by the entire series, covers the Bible from creation to the end. some of our doctrine did not agree with the author’s, but was easily discussed with my children.
The Pilgrim’s Progress is a must read for any Christian teen or adult. It is such a powerful image of our journey to heaven as we try to walk the narrow path that God has set before us. I can’t tell you how much this book affected each of our family as we read and discussed it together. priceless!

purity code, the: god’s plan for sex and your body is not for highly protected people (and it’s not for girls). it’s an honest but important discussion about the topic that will come up with your teens. Whether you like it or not, if you don’t discuss sex and body changes with your son, he’ll learn somewhere else. this book comes from a completely christian perspective and opens the door to great discussions, preferably between a father and a son.
