A Summer Reading List for my (Pre)Teenager

This summer, my wife and I wanted to challenge our oldest daughter with some challenging reading material that would both stretch her mind and strengthen her faith. A few books immediately came to mind, and I solicited suggestions from Facebook friends to get more ideas. After some collating, I’ve put together the final list of books my 10-year-old will be reading this summer. I’d recommend any of these books to any teenager or preteen with good reading skills.

  • Basic Christianity by John Stott
  • Desiring God: Meditations of a Christian Hedonist by John Piper
  • Dug Down Deep by Joshua Harris
  • The Holiness of God by R. C. Sproul
  • Do Hard Things by Alex and Brett Harris

Just missing the cut, but still recommended: Don’t Waste Your Life, The Pleasures of God, and God is the Gospel by John Piper, The Screwtape Letters by C. S. Lewis, Putting Amazing Back Into Grace by Michael Horton, and Knowing God by J. I. Packer.
