Updated: Jan 13, 2022


LifeTeen prayer books-

LifeTeen has numerous prayer books that cover topics such as going to Mass, Eucharistic Adoration, Confession, praying the Rosary, and the Divine Mercy chaplet. They explain the topic you're reading about in an engaging way and make you want to learn more and participate in it. All of these books can be found on the LifeTeen website or you can ask your youth minister about getting them for your entire youth group!

Here's the LifeTeen website:

Pure Faith-

This prayer book is my absolute favorite! It's published by Catholic Answers (so of course it's amazing!) and is very popular in the Catholic Teen world right now. The book includes guides to praying the Rosary, the Divine Mercy Chaplet, the Stations of the Cross, and going to Confession. Along with these, the book gives many prayers for during Mass, to Mary and the Holy Spirit, and for all sorts of special intentions. There are quotes from saints and popes all throughout the book as well. It would make a great Confirmation gift if you're looking for ideas :-)

A Daily Defense-

This book is by very famous apologist, Jimmy Akin, from Catholic Answers. The description on the front of the book is "365 days (plus one) to becoming a better apologist). The book is an excellent resource for those of us who love to defend our Catholic faith, or have questions about it and want to learn more. The book is set up in a way that for each day there is a common objection to Catholicism and Jimmy Akin's explanation on how to defend the Church's teaching on the topic. It's easy to understand and definitely worth the 5 minutes per day that it takes to read. This would be a great read for someone going off to college or just for anyone who is often put in situations where they need to defend their Catholic faith.
