Welcome to my list of the top 20 best reviewed Christian books for teens! I’m not sure about you, but lately it has been extremely difficult for me to find books for my children to read this summer. My teen son is 13 and my tween daughter is 11 which is bringing us to venture into the young adult section for the first time. 

As we have browsed together excitedly through book stores and libraries I have noticed that the majority of young adult books seem to push a heavy secular worldview message. As a Christian mother I don’t feel comfortable with my children reading these books, unless I have read them first. It’s always best to do this to gain an understanding of the questions that may come up and to see whether or not the content is appropriate.

Unfortunately, this summer I simply do not have enough time to read or review all these books before they make it into the hands of my children. This is why I have instead made a list of the top 20 Christian book’s for young adults. I have included both fiction and non fiction books to enjoy and feel confident in recommending them to you. After much research and time this list has become a great resource for Christian parent’s to have this summer!
