Sometimes I like to make the joke that I must have been born with a book in my hand. If I think I've been writing for as long as I can remember, I've been reading for even longer. Reading is like an escape and refuge for me. I'm slightly a book nerd. And not ashamed of it. Although I'm twenty now (seriously), I still know exactly how hard it is to be a Christian teenager in today's world. And sometimes it's so nice to just have someone else to encourage you along the way. When I was a young teenager I discovered just exactly how hard it is to find clean, godly writing material to read. Because of this, I founded my own magazine, The King's Princess, when I was fifteen. However, over the years God has also brought dozens of encouraging, godly authors, magazines editors, and writers into my path. Today I wanted to take a moment to highlight four magazines that you, as a Christian young lady, should totally check out. 1) Crown of Beauty Magazine. Although Crown of Beauty no longer prints new magazine issues, you are still able to access all of the old issues right on their website! I interned with Crown of Beauty for several months and it was amazing. The founder, Livy Jarmusch, puts out godly, clean material for young Christian girls that is totally uplifting, fun, and inspirational. Although she no longer publishes Crown of Beauty issues, she still writes godly fiction. If you're interested in checking her writing out, visit her blog: www.livylynnblog.com. 2) Christ's Light Magazine. This is a brand new magazine for young ladies, but oh my goodness, I already know you need to be subscribed to it. (Like, please, go subscribe) Christ's Light is a free, bi-monthly e-magazine published by my dear friend, Olivia Bell. Olivia puts together fun, beautiful, easy-to-read, godly magazine issues that capture your attention. Her articles are super inspiring and I just love everything about this magazine. I also have the absolute honor of being a columnist for the mag. Although she doesn't have a website, if you would like to subscribe, please fill out the contact form here on my site and I'll be sure to forward it on to Olivia. 3) Every Girl's Adventure. A free, quarterly e-magazine run by the beautiful and wonderful, Bethany Smith. <3 This magazine is for--like it says--every girl. Much like me, Bethany was tired of not being able to find good magazines to read that talked about anything else besides crushes, Hollywood, and things like that. She wanted to give Christian young girls a better alternative. Every Girl's Adventure includes modest fashion tips for the fashion loving girl, and outdoorsy related articles for the adventure-loving girl. Whatever you're interested in, Every Girl's Adventure has it. 4) Guard Your Heart Magazine. This free monthly e-magazine is published by some more wonderful friends of mine! It was founded by the incredible Beth Hale, along with her sisters. Guard Your Heart inspires young Christian girls to walk in a way that is worthy of their identity in Christ and encourages them with fun and exciting articles. Definitely worth subscribing to and you can do so by checking out their website! I hope you find these to be helpful and encouraging as you connect with other Christian young ladies seeking to serve God with all of their hearts as well. And of course... My magazine, The King's Princess, was founded in 2013. This ministry God has given me has never ceased to amaze and humble me. I don't deserve this place of serving Him by serving His daughters, but I'm so grateful. If you'd like to subscribe, I'd love to have you visit my website for the magazine and join our princess family. <3 Do you have any suggestions for godly Christian magazines for girls?
