8 Christian Books All Girls In High School And College Should Read

Throughout high school and college,I have had a lot of people invest in me through books. I have enjoyed reading them all so much and a few of them have had a major impact on my life. Books sometimes are the things that God uses to speak to us and while all these books aren’t without their flaws they are definitely books I would encourage you read, learn, and grow from and see how God moves in your life.

Radical

If you need an encouraging book for you to share the gospel with people, Radical is nothing short of that and will have you excited to share the gospel and live Radically when you are finished. David Platt is one of my favorite people and this book was so reaffirming to God's call on my life.

Living the Cross Centered Life

Mahoney focuses on keeping the gospel at the center of your life and most importantly Jesus work on the cross. This book offers a good and refreshing perspective on the cross and how we as Christians should live. Mahoney even offers five practical ways that will help us live with the cross at the center of our lives.

Love Does

Bob Goff does a good job at encouraging Christians to do more than worry about what the Bible says. He does a good job at showing the reader what love looks like and makes good points on how to join Jesus in His work daily.

Doctrine

This was a never a book that I had a desire to read but I am so thankful I did. Mark Driscoll writes this book to help Christians understand their faith better. I walked away multiple times from reading this book with my mind blown and a better understanding of what I believe and why.

Uninvited

This is probably my most highly recommended book. Lysa TerKeurst writes to the person that feels less than, left out, and lonely. She teaches about how we can live loved in a world where it is hard to feel loved sometimes. This book was an eye-opener to how much God loves us and she is very good at pointing the reader continually back to Christ.

Don't Waste Your Life

John Piper challenges us to set aside our own life and to be in full pursuit of Christ. Our lives matter and other people's lives matter and our lives should be spent to glorify Christ and serve him. Piper was extremely encouraging in day to day life and my walk with Christ.

Praying for Your Future Husband

As girls, a husband is something we all long for. Robin Jones Gunn is one of my favorite writers and she does a great job explaining how we can pray for our future husbands now and also the different things we can be praying for. I have seen myself grow tremendously in the area of prayer and patience in this aspect of life.

Wait and See

This is one I have yet to read but am waiting for the day that I get to. Wendy Pope writes on King David and about waiting and the Person of our faith rather than the object of our wait. If you are anything like me you are really bad at waiting so I am excited to see how this book speaks to me.

birthday party

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.

College Informations

Most of us have already started the spring semester, and for those of you who haven't started yet, you suck.

It seems like coming back from winter break wouldn't really be a break all things considered, since we all come back to school and pick up right where we left off. We know exactly what to expect, yet we're unprepared every single time.

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.
