Getting your kids to read is difficult enough, let alone finding a book about Christianity that won’t completely bore them. At such an impressionable age, you want to find books that teach values while also being both inspirational and entertaining. However, finding the right Christian books for tweens and teens can be tough.
Unlike sitting through hours of church, young ladies are much more likely to engage with lessons and stories written specifically for them. With understandable passages related to their lives. That’s why we highly recommend looking for devotionals and Christian books that are accessible and touch on subjects and issues they deal with everyday.
Instead of forcing your teen or young adult to join an adult bible study, look for things like guided journals, Christian advice, and powerful prayer books they can explore at their own pace. Whether you’re shopping for yourself, your child, or need a great Christmas present, discover the 7 best Christian books for young ladies below.

#5 - 100 Tough Questions about God and the Bible
As children become teens, they start to ask more and more questions about religion, God, and spirituality. Encourage them to contemplate these ideas and seek answers with 100 Tough Questions. Let's be honest, the Bible can be hard to understand. It's full of weird laws, apparent inconsistencies, and tales of a God who often doesn't do what we expect. You may have asked about some of these things and been brushed off or given trite, unconvincing answers. But serious questions deserve thoughtful responses, especially when opinions of Bible experts clash. Stephen M. Miller pulls insight from a wide range of Bible experts to report their answers to the tough questions. He does so with a touch of humor and no preaching which will be much more accessible to questioning young adults.
