Winner of four book awards, including two 2024 International Book Awards in Religion and Young Adult Nonfiction.
Proverbs 1–9 speaks directly to the situations teens are already facing: How do you recognize a harmful situation before it becomes worse? How do you pick the right friends? How do you handle bullying, drama, and pressure to go along with things you know are wrong? Who should you actually listen to when everyone's giving advice? What does God's Word say about relationships, temptation, and sexual purity?
How it works
Each chapter opens with a Memory Verse Challenge, then a relatable scenario, before moving into the corresponding passage in Proverbs. This study is built around open-ended reflection — teens compose their own thoughts, so they're actually thinking it through, not just checking boxes. All the while, Scripture does the teaching — the author just points the way. A fun activity closes out each chapter. The writing is direct, warm, and written for real teenagers in the real world.
For parents and leaders who want to open these conversations without lecturing, a free Parent and Leader's Guide is available upon request.
