Help! I Want to Know the Bible

Do you want to read the Bible, but don’t know where or how to start? Have you tried to read the Bible but became overwhelmed, so eventually you quit? The Bible is your doorway to knowing God and the primary source of your spiritual food. Reading and studying the Bible feels impossible for many teens. This mini-book gives practical instructions to help develop Bible-reading habits so you can know God more intimately and love Jesus more deeply.

Knowing the Bible does not automatically make you godly, but you cannot be godly without knowing the Bible.

The teen years are pivotal years in which young people seek to clarify their identity and determine the convictions, goals, and truths that will shape their lives. Addressing a range of topics that relate directly to the challenges they are facing, the LifeLine for Teens mini-books provide biblical wisdom to shepherd the hearts of teens. Simple, without being shallow. Succinct, yet full of truth—pointing teens to biblical hope and gospel encouragements. While teens are the target, these mini-books also prove helpful for anyone who desires to understand and minister more effectively to the next generation.

— Dr. Tedd Tripp

Teens struggle with constantly changing moods, overpowering emotional extremes, identity uncertainty, friendship conflicts, and paralyzing doubts about how God is relevant to their struggles.... These booklets will show not only the sufficiency of the Bible, but also its relevancy for the problems youth face today.

“Unlike the many counseling resources we can find for adults, there are few directly relatable to teens and the issues they face. These mini-books bring the Scriptures to bear in a relevant way for both teens and those ministering to them.”
