Christian books for teens...

[FervidPrincess]

My daughters are 13 and 14 and I am looking for any suggestions for a good book that they can read that goes along with either the king james version or the new king james version. They have read My first study bible and The beginners Bible some time back. They are intimidated by the big words in the bible and they want something that will be easier to read and study for their age group. Any suggestions?

I am 15 and just about EVERYBODY in my youth group reads the Life Aplication Bible NIV. I LOVE it! I'm a little confussed by you're question... not sure if you were looking for suggestions of reading books or bibles. Anyways thats the Bible that i would reccomend. My favorite reading book is actually a really small book that can be read in a few sittings. its "The Unquenchable Worshiper" by Matt Redman. It has changed my woship so much and has helped me understand the amazment of standing in the presence of the Lord almighty and worshiping Him. Both of your girls should read it!

Thank you God's cheergirl. I was actually looking for reading books and a study guide to go along with the bible. Sorry for the confusion. Like I said they find the big words in the Bible a little intimidating. So, I think they need a good study guide.

I will check out "The Unquenchable Worshiper" by Matt Redman.

Thanks!

My daughter has taken Precepts study courses with me and also Beth Moore classes are great.

If you are looking for fiction as well, check out The Adventures of Jecosan Tarres by Laura Lond (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1591605296); I'm not a parent, but I gave this book to some friends who homeschool their teenage kids, and the kids rave about it. I can't wait for Book 2 myself!

I don't know about any of those newer Bibles. I love my King James Version which I have had since I was 7. I have never had a problem with the old fashioned wording even when I was 10 and 11! Well, I just felt I needed to say that.

We do use the King James Bible.
