This is a unique compilation of devotionals written by Christian teen boys who share life lessons based on a scripture of the day.

Some of the topics discussed include peer pressure, dating, and substance abuse. This devotional encourages boys that only God can fix life’s problems, and He can and will work in your life if you let Him.

Created for Work: Practical Insights for Young Men
By: Bob Schultz
Great Expectations Co.
Best for ages 15-17
This book, popular in the homeschool community, encourages teen boys to develop a strong work ethic. There are discussion questions at the end of each chapter, making it a good father/son devotional. My nephew enjoyed reading this book with his dad and learned a lot about having a strong work ethic. Bob Schultz discusses the importance of work from a Biblical perspective and inspires boys to be hardworking, honest, and respectful to those in authority over them. This is a much-needed book in our world today, that focuses on doing things “the easy way” and valuing entertainment and fun over hard work and ethics.
