God wants the youth to become men of earnest mind, to be prepared for action in His noble work, and fitted to bear responsibilities. God calls for young men with hearts uncorrupted, strong and brave, and determined to fight manfully in the struggle before them, that they may glorify God and bless humanity. If the youth would but make the Bible their study, would but calm their impetuous desires, and listen to the voice of their Creator and Redeemer, they would not only be at peace with God, but would find themselves ennobled and elevated. It will be for your eternal interest, my young friend, to give heed to the instructions in the Word of God, for they are of inestimable importance to you. MYP 21.1

Gen Z are once again proving that they are a generation open to faith, as Bible sales soar among their demographic.

The Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge (SPCK) has noted an 87% increase in purchases of the Bible between 2019 and 2024. Nielsen Book Data records a jump from £2.69 million to £5.02 million spent on copies in the last five years.
A spokeswoman for Nielsen Book Data said: “Spending on religious books in total last year measured £25.2 million, up 3 per cent year-on-year.”
A survey in January 2025 indicates that a quarter of Gen X (born between 1965 and 1980) identify as atheist – but this falls to 13% amongst Gen Z (born in the late 1990s and early 2000s).
Mark Woods, of the Bible Society, told The Times that some of the sales came from “young people buying the Bible themselves, or parents buying for their children,” whilst another portion come from “churches buying it for their youth group or their local school”.
He added: “Either way, there’s a very clear increase in demand. This seems to arise from a perception that the Bible has something important to say to young people, and from a desire to make it accessible to them.”
And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:
