Gracie's Guide to Clean and Christian YA Fiction!

So...I've noticed a trend lately. Clean fiction - specifically Christian and inspirational fiction - fades into the background, overrun in libraries and bookstores by secular fiction that would make even secular fiction of a hundred years ago turn over in its grave...and I don't mean just adult fiction. I'm talking young adult fiction.

Kids are picking up books with heavy violence and profanity...and that's the good part, because authors and publishers are pushing sex outside of marriage and, worse, homosexuality and transgenderism...to children.

That rotten basket of apples spoils the whole orchard, and many Christian readers are either left to fend for themselves in the vast wasteland of corrupted reading material...or they turn their noses up to fiction altogether and depart from the land in which many glories could be unearthed.

Pardon my prose, but I think you get my point.

This is why I've put together (along with the help of my friends...thank y'all!!!) a guide to some of the best Christian and clean YA fiction out there! Now, be aware that this is mainly all that my friends and I thought of off the top of our heads...there is a LOT more wholesome YA fiction out there, waiting to be read, which is why I'm open to any and all suggestions you have...and why I'll be updating this list periodically to include any other fantastic tales that need to be shared!

Now, before I list the books/series, let me define this list, shall I?

Everything is Christian, inspirational, allegorical, clean, and wholesome fiction for ages 12 to 18, ranging from fantasy to contemporary to speculative to historical to romance! Wondering what constitutes clean and Christian YA fiction? Click here!

Books containing romance will be marked by an asterisk! *winks*

Without further ado...the list! I hope y'all find many new books and authors to read and enjoy!
