FICTION FRIDAY

Christmas is around the corner. Do you have all your gifts? Are there any teens or YA readers in your life?

As a YA Christian fantasy writer, I’m always looking for the next teen book to devour. I’m an avid believer that stories can encourage and challenge us in our walks with God. Here are some books I read this year that are perfect gifts.

The Delusion- It’s a speculative read that challenges us to pay attention to the spiritual battles in our lives. This book starts with a school shooting and dives into depression.

The Quest for Celestia- This is an excellent Pilgrim’s Progress retelling.

Mortal Sight- If you’re looking for a page-turner, this is it. Rhoads has an engaging writing style in this parallel world book.

Tinsel in a Twist- I love a good Christmas fantasy adventure especially when there is a Christian takeaway at the end.

A Noble Masquerade- I am not sure if this is a teen book, but it’s clean and would hold the interest of any teen who loves BBC regency movies. I loved the intrigue, and I couldn’t stop flipping pages.

I hope these book recommendations help you choose a book for a teen in your life. Which book interests you the most?
