Christian Teen Fiction for Girls
Two of our daughters are avid readers. If given the opportunity, they will get lost in a good book and be hidden away for hours at a time. While I’m not as diligent as I once was when they were much younger with the storylines, I do like to keep an eye on whether or not they are reading quality literature that builds character and faith. When I am searching Christian teen fiction for girls, I’m looking for stories that emphasize faith, have relatable protagonists who face everyday challenges, such as friendship issues, self-doubt, family dynamics, and personal growth, all within the context of their Christian beliefs. I have compiled the best Christian books for teen girls that hold to these values.
