Teenagers these days are BUSY. From schoolwork and extracurriculars to jobs and social commitments, many things fight for their attention. But making time to connect with the scriptures is a vital way for teens to feel joy and develop confidence, especially when times get tough.
With this in mind, Shannon Foster of the Red Headed Hostess created Faith 52: A New Testament Study Guide. Designed specifically for teens (but still enjoyable for adults and young adults), the guidebook outlines each week of the 2027 Come, Follow Me schedule with dynamic graphics and engaging study activities. Here are three of the book’s features we think your teen will love.
1. Perforated Pages
Every single page in Faith 52 can be easily torn out and taped to a mirror, fridge, or door. This is perfect if your teen wants to keep a favorite study activity on hand or put up an artistic “poster page” of a scripture or a quote.
2. A Built-in Playlist
Each lesson in the guidebook comes with a song recommendation, making for a playlist of 52 uplifting pieces to accompany your teen through the New Testament. The selection features artists including Thomas Rhett, Lauren Daigle, The Tabernacle Choir at Temple Square, and Dolly Parton, among others.
3. Interactive QR Codes
Several study activities in Faith 52 include QR codes that lead to supplemental videos on the Church’s website. This gives your teen the opportunity to learn not only through reading and studying the scriptures but also through listening to audio and watching visuals.
Glowing Past Reviews
For the last year, the Old Testament version of Faith 52 has been resonating with both teens and adults in their personal study and beyond. Here are a few reviews from people who’ve put the guidebook to the test:
“Excellent layout with great thought-provoking questions. Makes for a fun, engaging, and motivating way to grow my testimony of the Old Testament as an adult!” —Christine D.
“It has been so helpful for our teens and family weekly study. … Our daughter used it for her Young Women lesson preparation.” —Joy B.
“A very helpful addition to the class I’m teaching.” —Steve H.
“As a young adult who can’t focus, this will help me so much to love what I’m reading!” —Bella
Whether you are looking for a way to help your kids or grandkids fall in love with the scriptures or are seeking an engaging tool to deepen your own scripture study, Faith 52 offers a way to easily drop into Come, Follow Me. And most importantly, it provides an opportunity to continue developing a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, week after week.
