Anyone know any good Christian teen books?

Question

I own the Christy Miller series and my library doesn't have Sierra Jensen series. Are there any other good ones?

Answer 1

There are quite a few Christian fiction books you may enjoy. Jane Peart has a series called The Brides of Montclair that starts in the 1700s and follows the family into today. I haven't read every book in the series yet, but I really enjoyed the ones I read.

Gilbert Morris has several different series, but his House of Winslow series (starting from the 1600s and going into modern times) is really excellent.

Frank Peretti's books are usually supernatural thrillers and are excellent. I couldn't put them down. Some good ones are House (with Ted Dekker); Monster; The Oath; This Present Darkness; Piercing the Darkness; The Visitation; Prophet; the Veritas Project books-Hangman's Curse & Nightmare Academy. He also wrote a series about two siblings who travel all over the world with their archaeologist father and encounter very strange things. It's called The Cooper Kids Adventure Series.

Catherine Marshall wrote two wonderful novels called Christy and Julie. She also wrote a biography of her husband Peter Marshall called A Man Called Peter. It's excellent and actually reads like a novel.

If you haven't read the books, I highly recommend The Chronicles of Narnia series by C.S.Lewis starting with The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe. His other books like The Great Divorce and The Screwtape Letters are excellent also. For non-fiction, you really can't beat his Mere Christianity.

Janette Oke, Grace Livingston Hill, Lawanna Blackwell, Madeleine L'Engle and Eugenia Price are all Christian authors and have written some wonderful books.

which is the teen Christian fiction section. (Note, if the site doesn't come through, it's www.ChristianBook.com and look under fiction and then click on teen.)

Answer 3

i read the whole left behind series to my son and he really enjoyed them, he could of read them to himself but i had read all the adult series and liked them so much that i wanted to read his with him, and i thought that they were just as good, not only do they teach so much about the bible and whats to come but they really are page turners and are filled with action. there are about 40 in the series, if i'm remembering correctly, they are very exciting and informative at the same time. i hope you like them as much as we did. they are by tim lahay and jerry b. jenkins.

"Ishmael" by Daniel Quinn. Since you're a teen, you can follow it up with "My Ishmael" but you should read "Ishmael" first. You won't be sorry, no one ever is.
