Advance Praise for
Every Woman’s
Battle: Discovering God’s Plan for Sexual and Emotional Fulfillment
by Shannon Ethridge
“This book sheds light on the often unspoken sensitivities and
issues that women wrestle with. Not only is it well written, it is liberating
and refreshing with sound principles for overcoming the things that threaten to
keep us from experiencing the fullness of joy that is part of God’s big picture
plan for our lives.”
—Michelle McKinney Hammond, author of Get
Over It and On With It
“In today’s permissive culture, it
is dangerously easy for even the most principled of women to reason away
unhealthy thoughts, attitudes, and flirtations with men who aren’t our
husbands. In Every Woman’s Battle, Shannon Ethridge bravely and
respectfully draws a line in the sand for all of us. A must-read for every
woman who desires true intimacy and sexual integrity.”
—Constance Rhodes, author of Inside
the “Thin” Cage
“There is a common, almost
Victorian, myth that women don’t really struggle with sexual sin. That myth
causes many women to feel a double-shame. The shame of struggling sexually is
compounded by the assumption that few, if any, women share the same battle. Shannon
Ethridge artfully and boldly unveils the war and offers women a way to enter
the battle with courage, hope, and grace. Every Woman’s Battle will help
both men and women comprehend the glorious beauty and sensuality of holiness.
This is a desperately needed book.”
—Dan B. Allender, Ph.D, president of
Mars Hill Graduate School
and author of The Healing Path
“If you’re like me, you want the
deepest connection possible with your husband. You want a soul-to-soul
connection that is not encumbered by anything that could damage it. And if
you’re like me, you are going to find Shannon’s book immeasurably helpful in
doing just that. Every Woman’s Battle is the best resource I know for
embracing God’s plan of sexual and emotional integrity as a woman.”
—Leslie Parrott, author of When Bad
Things Happen to Good Marriages
“A ‘powerful shield’ for every
woman. Shannon’s words are convicting, challenging, and confronting.”
—Dr. Tim Clinton, president of the
American Association of Christian Counselors
“Many of my Bad Girls of the
Bible readers have tearfully confessed to me their struggles with
sexual sins—promiscuity, adultery, and self-gratification among them.
Since we cannot pretend Christian women don’t face these temptations, it’s a
relief to have a sound resource like this one to recommend. Shannon
Ethridge’s straightforward, nonjudgmental, step-by-step approach can
help women ‘come clean’ in the best way possible—through an intimate
relationship with the Lover of their souls.”
—Liz Curtis Higgs, best-selling author
of Bad Girls of the Bible, Really Bad Girls of the Bible,
and Mad Mary: A Bad Girl from Magdala
“It’s time to take the blinders off
and recognize the crucial message of Every Woman’s Battle.”
—Karen Kingsbury, best-selling author of
Remember and One Tuesday Morning
