Written by OneShare Health | 2:45 PM on July 24, 2025

As parents, we want to fill our children’s hearts with truth, love, and encouragement. And what better way to do that than through the power of story? Stories help shape a child’s character, inspire compassion, and plant seeds of faith that can grow for years to come.

If you’re looking for uplifting, faith-friendly chapter book series for your young readers, we’ve rounded up seven wonderful options. These books are perfect for quiet time, bedtime reading, or even Family read-alouds. And best of all, they help reinforce the Christian values you’re already teaching at home.

 

1. The Imagination Station by Marianne Hering & Paul McCusker

Created by the same team behind “Adventures in Odyssey,” this time-traveling series blends history and adventure with lessons on courage, honesty, and faith. Each story follows cousins Patrick and Beth as they explore key events in history through a biblical lens.

Why Parents Love It: It’s fast-paced, filled with positive messages, and offers a gentle introduction to Christian worldview themes.

2. Kingdom Series by Chuck Black

For older kids (ages 10+), this medieval fantasy series uses allegory to mirror biblical truths. Think knights, castles, and quests—but with strong spiritual symbolism and action that keeps readers turning the page.

Faith Element: Each book draws parallels to Scripture in a way that sparks deeper conversations about God's Word.

 

3. Cul-de-Sac Kids by Beverly Lewis

Short, simple, and sweet, this series is a great fit for early readers. The stories follow a group of neighborhood friends as they navigate everyday childhood adventures with kindness and creativity.

Christian Values Highlighted: Friendship, honesty, prayer, and loving your neighbor—just like Galatians 5:22 teaches about the fruits of the Spirit.

 

4. The Cooper Kids Adventure Series by Frank Peretti

A Christian alternative to Indiana Jones-style storytelling, this series mixes suspense and archaeology with faith. It’s ideal for kids who love a little mystery and danger—with a message of spiritual truth at the center.

A Bonus: Parents enjoy them just as much as their kids!

 

5. Little Pilgrim’s Progress by Helen L. Taylor

This timeless allegory is beautifully rewritten for children, following Christian and Christiana on their journey to the Celestial City. It’s a powerful picture of perseverance, grace, and the Christian life.

Perfect For: Family reading time and meaningful faith conversations.

 

6. FaithGirlz! by various authors

Designed especially for tween girls, these books cover topics like friendship, identity, and growing in your walk with Jesus. With modern-day settings and relatable characters, FaithGirlz books help young readers connect real life to real faith.

Spiritual Takeaway: Girls learn they are fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139:14) and loved by God.

7. Adventures in Odyssey Novels by Paul McCusker

If your kids are already fans of the “Adventures in Odyssey” audio dramas, they’ll love diving into these chapter books. Each one brings familiar characters to life in new ways, all while exploring themes like truth, forgiveness, and faithfulness.
