Growing Up Christian/Karl Graustein – Many teens are active in church youth programs, yet drop out of church later in life and never return. Other young adults rest on the merits of their parents’ faith without ever experiencing their own relationship with Jesus Christ. In Growing Up Christian, Karl Graustein and Mark Jacobsen seek to help teenagers who have grown up in Christian homes by reminding them of the blessings of growing up in a Christian home, warning them of some of the dangers they face, providing practical suggestions for avoiding these dangers, and urging them to think and live in a way that pleases God. |

Thoughts For Young Men/JC Ryle – Peer pressure, lust, idleness—there’s nothing new about the struggles young men face. Help them stand firm! Filled with wise guidance and pithy advice, this slim volume prepares and equips your teens to resist temptation and grow strong in character. Penned by England’s “last Puritan” in the late 19th century, Ryle’s practical counsel rings as true today as ever. |

Girl Talk/Carolyn Mahaney – Mother-Daughter Conversations on Biblical Womanhood is the new book from Carolyn Mahaney and the oldest of her three daughters, Nicole Whitacre.
