    I’m looking for suggestions for devotionals for an 8th/9th grade level. Right now, my daughter is reading More Than a Carpenter.

    I have seen The Pursuit of God recommended. Has anyone read that? And if so, could you give me a brief summary of the book?

    What books would you recommend for that grade level?

    My daughter just read The Pursuit of Holiness by Jerry Bridges and enjoyed it.  I also think the book called Do Hard Things would be great for the high school years, it is on our list.

    I have also seen The Pursuit of Holiness for a devotional in one of the AO booklists. What things does it discuss? I mean, obviously it’s talking about holiness. But I mean more specifically, what things does it talk about in regard to holiness?

    I don’t think I’ve heard of Do Hard Things. What’s it about?

    I have not read Do Hard Things, I’ve just heard interviews with the two young men who wrote it.  Here are a couple of links.

    http://www.amazon.com/Do-Hard-Things-Rebellion-Expectations/dp/1601421125/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1302183568&sr=1-1

    A great description of The Pursuit of Holiness is here:

    You can see the table of contents and even an excerpt.  It is about what holiness means and what part of out journey to holiness (sanctification) is God’s part and what we need to take responsibility for ourselves.  It is very scripture based and has a study guide available if you want to go deeper.
