alisha Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 I'm looking for a few more books for my son's reading list. He's an incoming 9th grader, and on the young side socially and emotionally. But I'm looking for an Inspirational book or two for him to read this school year. Christian is great, but not necessary. It seems that many I find are about dealing with girls/dating and such, and he's nowhere near that mentally. I think I'm looking for non-fiction or biography (the fiction section of his assigned reading is full), and around the topics of responsibility, helping others, being the best you can be, working hard at the tasks your given, those sort of inspirational, motivational ideas. (and not sure if I've made it clear, but written to the teen, not a curriculum or a "how to help your teen ....."). Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScoutTN Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 Unbroken or The Boys in the Boat (young readers version? Preread before handing him the regular edition of Unbroken.) Christian missionary bios like Bruchko or God’s Smuggler? 7 Habits or something by Cal Newport? Do Hard Things? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hollyhock2 Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 My boys have all enjoyed Mover of Men and Mountains by R. G. LeTourneau. It's an autobiography, I believe. A few other inspirational books they have really liked are And the Word Came With Power by Joanne Shetler, and The Hiding Place. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
