Title: TeenVirtue

Author: Vicki Courtney

Publisher: Broadman and Holman

ISBN: 0-8054-3056-3

Genre: Inspirational/Teen/Nonfiction

TeenVirtue  is a magazine-type book that covers all the issues related to teen girls today. Topics covered include things such as:

Are you dressed to lure or be pure?

Should I get my belly button pierced?

Can you trust your emotions?

Quick beauty tips.

Is gay okay?

Is God pro-life?

25 guys tell all.

The truth about Prince Charming

And much more.

Reading through TeenVirtue I thought it was relevant to the issues girls face today. I was interested in one section about how life today differs from the life their grandparents had when they were teens—although it may be a bit unrealistic if the teen is a child of an older parent. The whole magazine is Christ-centered and includes tips for Bible study and thoughts for the teen to consider about what would be the Christian thing to do in certain situations.

I think TeenVirtue  is a definite plus and will be beneficial for the teen girl in your life. She will appreciate the age appropriate articles, and you will appreciate knowing that she is given the Christian view in lieu of the world’s view on the issues of dress, make-up, and guys.  $14.99. 150 pages.
