The Bereans: Searching the Scriptures

By: Bourgeois, Jennie

The Bereans: Searching the Scriptures - Book One

What happens when everyone around you believes something-but Scripture seems to say something different?

When Mia Carter moves to Riverton, she expects the hardest part will be starting over. A new home. A new school. A new church. And the uncomfortable reality of being the new kid.

Then Mia finds the Upper Room-a youth group filled with new friends who welcome her in. For the first time, Riverton begins to feel like home.

But when a popular speaker visits the school's Fellowship of Christian Athletes meeting, his inspiring message has everyone talking.

Everyone seems convinced. Mia isn't.

Something about his teaching doesn't quite line up with what she remembers from Scripture.

Instead of simply accepting what they've heard, Mia and her friends open their Bibles and search for answers. Following the example of the Bereans in Acts 17:11, they begin learning how to receive God's Word eagerly while examining the Scriptures for themselves.

What begins with one questionable message soon becomes something much bigger.

Through school, sports, service projects, friendships, and everyday challenges, the group discovers that faith isn't just about knowing Bible stories or repeating what someone else believes. It's about knowing God's Word, asking thoughtful questions, seeking biblical truth, and learning to follow Christ with a faith that becomes their own.

Written for ages 10-15, The Bereans: Searching the Scriptures is a contemporary Christian novel filled with friendship, humor, relatable challenges, meaningful conversations, and practical biblical truth-encouraging young readers not simply to know about the Bible, but to search the Scriptures for themselves.

The search begins here. Are you ready to become a Berean?
