A good friend of mine let me borrow her Brio magazines a few years back, and I've been hooked ever since. It is one of the few magazines I've read that gives readers the feeling that they are part of the Brio family. The very first issue I ever picked up had a story on missions, and another on true love. It had a comic in the back and several advice colummns, including the imfamous "Dear Susie" column written by the editor of Brio. Instead of bringing readers down with excessive articles on beauty, makeup, and how to get a guy, Brio talks about God and Christianity...and not in the haphazard way that many secular teen magazines do. The magazine emphasizes a relationship with God, and the entire magazine is centered on that alone. (Amen!) Readers also get stories on Christian celebrities, advice on music and movie choices, and sometimes a column appears where guys express their opinions about Christian girls. So if you are a Christian girl who is sick of reading regular teen magazines, Brio is for you.

I had a subscription to Brio for ages when I was younger. It is wholesome and encourages girls to make the right choices in life based on the Bible. After a while, though, I realized that I kept hearing the same topics again and again, and they weren't ones I had trouble with - topics like not having sex before marriage and listening to music that sends a good message and obeying your parents and why the Bible says that witchcraft is wrong. These are all wonderful topics, of course, but growing up in a Christian community, I'd heard them all before.
Bottom line, Brio is a good magazine, an alternative to secular teen-oriented magazines, but I would not recommend it to Christian girls who are looking for in-depth Bible studies and many spiritually helpful articles that go past the "basics". I recommend it to younger Christians who may not have been given much Bible-based advice in their life and are trying to find whether or not they are leading their lives in a way that will please God.

Brio is a great magazine for Christian girls. The magazine has friendly staff that take questions in the mail or on the computer. There is good advice that is helpful to all girls: clothes, make-up, guys, school and much, much more. Beauty tips and music reviews are given also. The fashion articles give the best ways to be stylish and modest. At the end of every issue there is a Bible study to follow along with for that month; to help you learn Scripture and be a better Christian. The magazine is awesome!

I got that magazine last year and frankly, I'm disappointed. I am a Christian, so I thought I'd give that a try, but it was very plain and frankly very boring. It had little things that girls like, like clothes, makeup, tips, etc.On the positive side, it does have good help information. I would suggest that if you have a teen girl, try the magazine "Justine" which is wholesome and hip and for the more conservative reader.
