Books worth reading


Biographies
  • Jim Elliot this man was a man who was called by God to be a missionary in Ecuador. This book tells about his senior year in high school up to the time of his last breath. It really puts in perspective how dangerous missions can be, but that didn't stop Jim and his friends. Will Jim and his friends see their loved ones again? Will they reach the lives of the people in Ecuador? This is an awesome biography (I'm not one who is all about biographies). I highly recommend this book for all ages.
Christian readings
  • Do Hard Things - Alex and Brett tell you that just because you are called a teenager, you are expected to basically stun the world and meet even higher expectations. This is a must read, I highly recommend this book. What does the world expect from us teenagers? Are we really expected to do much less than the pioneer children were? This book tells us what the world expects out of kids our age. And what God expects out of kids our age. This book is very appropriate for the teen ages. 
Christian fiction
  • Woman of the Forest - this fiction book is another really good book. This book is about a teenage boy who is really lost spiritually and always in some sort of trouble when he is around his friends. When his parents decide to change they are living their lives, the young boy decides home isn't the place he wants to be. Soon he finds himself lost and with a strange woman with a bunch of secrets, in the middle of nowhere. Will he ever get back home, or will he be stuck with the crazy old woman forever. This book is an awesome Christian book as well, it is appropriate for all ages.
Romance
  • Mara Daughter of the Nile - this is such a great book...one I could read over and over again.  The book was about Mara, a young Egyptian slave girl who longs to be free.  As soon as she gets her chance, she soon finds herself falling in love with her new master...Lord Sheftu.  Sheftu who is caught up in some dangerous work finds himself falling in love with her too.  Will Mara help Sheftu in his dangerous work?  Will the two give into their love for one another?  You're going to have to read the book to find out!  This book is appropriate for ages 12+.
