Transformed by Truth: Why and How to Study the Bible for Yourself as a Teen

Studying God's Word as a teenager changed my life . . . And it can change yours, too. 

The Bible is more than just an ancient religious document. It’s a book filled with the actual words of the living God, meant to be read often and studied deeply that we might experience its life-changing power.

If you’re a teen who’s tired of low expectations and weightless platitudes, this book will help you dig into the Bible and make the time you spend reading count for eternity. Katherine Forster walks you through three simple practices that changed how she reads Scripture—observation, interpretation, and application— so you too can begin to understand what God has said in his word and discover how God’s truth can literally transform you from the inside out.

Instead, it will give you everything you need for life and godliness and the deepest joy you can imagine. That’s the message of Transformed by Truth—and that’s a message I’ve personally seen lived out in the life of Katherine Forster. Teens, you need to be transformed by truth. It happened to Forster, and in this book, she shares how it can happen to you too. Her writing is accessible, relatable, theological, and highly practical. She’ll change how you view the Bible and increase your love for Christ. Transformed by Truth is a must-read for the Christian teen.”
