ABOUT THE BOOK

The Bereans: Searching the Scriptures
Book One

She thought moving to a new town would be her biggest challenge. She never imagined learning to question what everyone else believed.

When Mia Carter moves to Riverton after her father accepts a position at Living Word Fellowship, everything familiar is left behind. A new home. A new school. A new church. And the overwhelming fear of being the new kid.

But as Mia begins to find her place among a welcoming group of friends at the church’s Upper Room youth group, life slowly starts to feel like home.

Then a popular speaker visits the school’s Fellowship of Christian Athletes meeting with an inspiring message that everyone seems to love.

Everyone…

…except Mia.

Something doesn’t feel quite right.

Rather than ignoring her questions, Mia and her friends begin searching the Scriptures together, discovering what it truly means to become modern-day Bereans—believers who eagerly receive God’s Word while carefully testing every teaching against Scripture.

As the friends navigate school, sports, service projects, everyday decisions, and growing friendships, they discover that following Jesus is about far more than knowing Bible stories. It means learning to seek God’s wisdom, ask thoughtful questions, and build a faith that becomes their own.

Perfect for ages 10–15, The Bereans: Searching the Scriptures is an engaging Christian coming-of-age novel filled with memorable characters, humor, meaningful discussions, and practical biblical truth that encourages young readers to love God’s Word and follow Christ faithfully.

Begin the adventure—and discover what it means to become a modern-day Berean.
