Brio magazine
Brio magazine is a christian girl’s magazine for about 13-16 year olds, although it could be for as young as 8 or 9. Brio and Beyond is just the ‘graduated’ version, for 16-22 year olds. Being in the “brio” age group, I would highly reccomend Brio. It’s the only magazine I am subscribed too, and I read it front to back the day it arrives in the mail. I really couldn’t see a magazine more suitable for teen girls. It is perfect, and has a lot of fun suggestions to do with friends and siblings or yourself. one of my favorites was when they gave gace masks recipes, another one was Chai tea recipes. And that’s just an example. They have short fiction stories, an ‘ask susie’ column, daily devotional, fashion, beauty, entertainment, and so much more! this would be perfect for a girl’s christmas gift (that’s actually how I got into brio) or any reason.

Brio is Great for Girls
I had this magazine growing up and I think it is great for girls. I was highly disappointed when I reached the age that it was no longer for me. I plan to sign my girls up for this magazine and I hope that breakaway proves to be just a wonderful for the guys. I also plan on getting subscriptions for my nieces and nephews when they get older.

The reasons I enjoyed these magazines: They discuss hair, make-up, guys, etc. But they put a Christian spin on these things. People think that because we are Christians that we don’t have the same interest. Well, I am here to tell you that Christian girls do like guys. Also, in their teenage years and now even earlier, they are concerned with hair and make-up. So if the magazine gives tips on how to apply make-up that’s great.

In addition, this magazine usually introduces a peer (usually a famous young actress) that is a Christian. These are the role models I want for my children. Not actress/actors that have drinking and drug problems. The stories are inspiring and Christian based.

The section of brio that allows kids to ask questions, also opens doors for girls to find answers to questions they never new and maybe even never thought to ask. It also allows for discussion of embarrassing moments and how to handle issues with friends, such as a friend that is experiementing with drugs or something. I see nothing wrong with that. And I think that the responses are great for kids to understand what type of situation needs addressing…such as when should I tell my Mom about this friend?

Brio is a great magazine. Thanks Focus on the Family.

Not What I Expected
I subscribed to this magazine (Brio) on behalf of my 13 year old step-daughter so that she would have an age-appropriate magazine that would foster a more Christian view of her world. The cover and first few pages were OK. Loved the “ad” about reconnecting with your mom because “You have more in common than your DNA.” Pictures and format were well done. The contents page looked inviting,too. Then to the nitty-gritty. The “Inbox,” which contains feedback from readers, got my attention first. In the middle of the page is a note from a 15 year old girl entitled, “God Talks to Me.” OK, well, he ’speaks’ to all of us, but this was different. She states “God has told me that America is like the biblical Israel, and we’re going to be destroyed if we don’t turn from our sins. We’ve already been warned enough through 9/11 and Katrina.” Incredulously, there was absolutely no reply or note of any sort from the editors. That the staff would condone the idea that disasters befall people because they (or we) deserve them surprised me and is just not the message I want to impart to my child. But, instead of suggesting something that may actually be helpful to the writer, the editorial staff reinforced this view by their complicity. As I continued not so casually perusing the rest of the magazine, I found more off-kilter expressions of devotion in all of the articles that related to God and religion. The articles that were not religiously oriented were quite good (on hygiene, IQ, etc.), but were of the sort that one can find in any girl’s magazine. In the end, I cancelled my subscription. And, although I ordered this mag through Amazon.com, Brio’s “Specialty Department” told me that I could not get a refund because somehow I had subscribed through a “fundraiser,” and they (the publishers, Focus on the Family) did not have my money.
Well, in the end, LESSON LEARNED! There will not be any more Focus on the Family publications in this household.
