Young people should read biographies, autobiographies, memoirs, and diaries since they offer the most important life lessons. People who write autobiographies generally have an engaging narrative to share about their personal difficulties and tribulations. Every life has a beginning, middle, and end, and how one lived one's life should be of great interest to those who are still at the start.
It's fascinating to learn how others, both famous and not-so-famous, dealt with life's crises, met their life partners, raised their families, and pursued their fascinating careers, whether as a merchant, writer, artist, poet, politician, soldier, actor, attorney, inventor, scientist, engineer, physician, nurse, teacher, or any other occupation you can think of. Because you, the reader, will be picking your own vocation or life calling, learning how others made their place on the stage of life can educate you. Every life has a purpose, and diving into the lives of those whose missions have made our lives better or worse might help you uncover your own.
Of course, the Bible is our major source for biographical accounts. Who can forget Adam and Eve, Cain and Abel, Abraham, Joseph, Moses, Joshua, David, Solomon, Paul, and God's on-earth presence, Jesus Christ? God's presence in our lives cannot be denied.
