Your 20s are full of transitions! New schools, new jobs, new friendships, and figuring out what really matters. It’s an exciting time, but let’s be honest, it can also feel overwhelming. That’s why this decade is a great time to pause, reflect, and refocus on what you truly believe and who you want to become.
One of the best ways to gain clarity and encouragement during this pivotal season is through books, especially ones that offer wisdom grounded in truth, grace, and purpose.
Here are some standout Christian books that can help guide, uplift, and challenge you as you step into adulthood with confidence.
The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry
By John Mark Comer
If your 20s already feel busy and burned out, this book is a must-read. Comer walks readers through the dangers of a hectic, hyper-connected lifestyle and offers a better way: slowing down, simplifying, and finding rest for your soul.
It’s Not Supposed to Be This Way
By Lysa TerKeurst
Life doesn’t always go according to plan, and your 20s are often when you first feel the weight of that truth. Lysa’s transparent storytelling helps readers walk through disappointment while holding on to hope.
Crazy Love
By Francis Chan
If you’ve ever wondered what it means to live a bold, purpose-filled life, this book won’t just tell you, it’ll challenge you. Chan dives deep into God’s love and how understanding it can change everything.
Live
By Sadie Robertson Huff
Written by someone in your generation, Sadie speaks directly to young adults about finding joy, owning your faith, and building a life that reflects your values. It's real, relevant, and rooted in encouragement.
Mere Christianity
By C.S. Lewis
A classic for a reason. Lewis’s straightforward style and thoughtful reflections help readers dig into the "why" behind the Christian faith. It’s perfect if you’re exploring what you believe and why it matters.
