Kristina, Servant's Books is a great source for Catholic books!
Here's the link:http://catalog.americancatholic.org/Catalog.aspx?LevelId=000000000006
Hope that helps!
God's and Holiday's Blessings,

Robin Jones Gunn is another great Christian fiction author for teens. I would say she writes more for girls, though. She does the Christy Miller series, Sisterchicks, and more.
Melody Carlson is another author that comes to mind.
Are you looking for books for just girls, or boys, too?

All of (C.S. Lewis) The Chronicles of Narnia books are Christian based. They do not preach, but tell the story on the same line as the bible.
I've read them and they are really good!

Janet Oake's Series "Love comes Softly" was a great read when I was in my teens, the first book is geared more to adults but the ones afterwards deal with the kids and what they are going through. There is also a series call Grandma's attic that I enjoyed...it was written by Arleta Jackson, short stories most of them have a moral or at least a lesson to learn.
Why not go out on a limb? That is where the Fruit is! |

I had a whole bunch I just donated to the church library, I would have sent them to you! I kept my favorites for when my kids get older though. I will have to take a look in the back room once I get back there and let you know what ones they were. I really enjoyed the "Experiencing" books and I can't remember who wrote them. When I was in the college and career class we split up into smaller groups and did the Experiencing the Cross book, and Experiencing God was really good too. There is also one on spiritual gifts. Growing up I loved the Robin Jones Gunn Sierra books and before that I loved the Mandie books and Summerhill Secret books (all Christan authors). As for more devotional/inspiration books I will have to get back to you one that. I know there is a book called "And the Bride Wore White" which was good and Every Young Womans Battle was good(my sis read it, I didn't)... Ok now I'm curious, I know there were some books I loved as a teen so I'm going into the back room right now to find out. Will post later with the titles :)

A Womans Search for Worth from the Focus on the Family. It was really good. That was the only one I found so and I know there were a few more but they must be in the WAY back in the bins that I haven't unpacked yet... Yeah we moved in over a year ago and not all my book and craft bins got unpacked... oops :) Guess that is why I've been purging, decluttering and simplifying!!
