The magazine is extending its efforts this fall by being a part of the nationwide Girls of Grace conferences, weekend events for 7th- through 12th-grade girls hosted by Christian music artists Point of Grace. While the purpose of the event is to inspire teen girls to live Christ-centered lives, Justine representatives will be hosting fashion and lifestyle activities for the girls.

Recommendations

As evident from the sample of magazines reviewed by the American Family Association, there is a glut of information bombarding teens through the pages of magazines. Some are far from acceptable. Others are well on their way to redeeming the mass media and its reputation of smut.

AFA recommends the following Christian teen magazines but still urges parents to make the call for their own children:

* Brio (for pre-teens) and Brio & Beyond (for older teens) -- Focus on the Family magazines for girls created to foster spiritual growth through feature stories that are engaging and practical and relevant to life

* Breakaway -- A Focus on the Family magazine for teen guys created to cultivate spiritual growth by tailoring topics to their everyday interests

* Essential Connection -- A LifeWay Christian Resource publication designed to aid teens in spiritual growth through daily devotions

* Sharing the Victory (STV) -- A publication of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes that functions as a ministry tool by informing, inspiring and involving coaches, athletes and all those they influence to make an impact for Christ
