Press Materials:
This book could change teenagers’ lives—by teaching them to get in the Word of God. Teens are rarely encouraged to engage in deep, serious Bible study for themselves, but Katherine Forster—a teenager and National Bible Bee champion—has seen her life transformed through study of God’s Word—and she wants the same for other teens as well. This book outlines a clear, robust method of Bible study (Observation, Interpretation, Application) that young people can use every time they open the Bible, calling teens to set high expectations for themselves and dig into God’s Word to discover the truth and truly see their lives transformed.

“Dear teenager, you are not too young to study the Bible for yourself. It’s not too hard, too overwhelming, or too confusing. Instead, it will give you everything you need for life and godliness and the deepest joy you can imagine. That’s the message of Transformed by Truth—and that’s a message I’ve personally seen lived out in the life of Katherine Forster. Teens, you need to be transformed by truth. It happened to Forster, and in this book, she shares how it can happen to you too. Her writing is accessible, relatable, theological, and highly practical. She’ll change how you view the Bible and increase your love for Christ. Transformed by Truth is a must-read for the Christian teen.”
Jaquelle Crowe Ferris, Founder and COO, The Young Writer; author, This Changes Everything
“Convicting, informative, and extremely practical! This book takes you through the who, what, when, where, why, and how of Bible study in a fun and relatable way. A valuable resource for all Christian teens (and adults)!”
Hannah Leary, Cohost, National Bible Bee
“Christian teens are often embarrassed to admit that they’re unsure how to study the Bible—or worse, that they find the Bible boring. With relatable candor and honesty, National Bible Bee champion Katherine Forster goes toe-to-toe with many of the common threats to a teen’s biblical literacy. Transformed by Truth is filled with solid encouragement and practical tools for teens hoping to develop a joyful dependence on God’s word.”
