A 8-Week Workbook for Withstanding
the Greatest Pressure Young Women Have Ever Faced.

Maybe you’ve seen images of women on TV, in movies, or in magazines and thought, I’ll never look like that…even while suspecting that women with self-respect and integrity shouldn’t even try to look that way. Perhaps you’ve felt the discomfort that comes when a guy wants you to go farther than you know is right. Possibly you feel that you’ve been robbed of your purity.

In today’s sexually charged world, it’s easy to compromise in lots of little ways–only to discover that you’ve given away something you don’t know how to get back.

· explore what God has to say about sexuality and sex
· recognize and avoid the potential pitfalls awaiting on your journey toward adulthood and possibly marriage

More About the Author

Shannon is a million-copy best-selling author, speaker, lay counselor, and advocate for healthy sexuality with a master's degree in counseling/human relations from Liberty University. She has spoken to youth, college students, and adults since 1989 and her passions include: Challenging adults and teens to embrace a life of sexual integrity, encouraging married couples in their pursuit of sexual and emotional fulfillment, counseling women who have looked for love in all the wrong places and equipping parents to instill sexual values in children at an early age.

Her passion for healthy sexuality actually began in mortuary college. Her first career choice, becoming a mortician, led Ethridge to work on dead bodies. Many she embalmed were young people who had died from AIDS or committed suicide as a result an HIV positive diagnosis. Because of her own promiscuous teenage years, she knew it was a miracle that she was standing over the embalming table rather than laying on top of it. These experiences inspired her to begin speaking boldly and bluntly to teen, college-age, and adult audiences about the benefits of sexual integrity. She has taught and counseled thousands of young singles and married couples over the past decade. She is the author of 18 books, including the best-selling Every Woman's Battle series, the 5-book Completely His series, and her new book for the mainstream market, The Sexually Confident Wife.

Shannon has been featured on the cover of Today's Christian Woman Magazinee, and is a frequent guest on international radio & television shows such as The 700 Club, Life Today with James & Betty Robison, FamilyLife Today with Dennis Rainey, and New Life Live! with Stephen Arterburn. She has also been published in numerous magazines such as Focus on the Family, Brio, and LifeWay and is the winner of a Gold Medallion Award for Excellence in Publishing.

Although grateful for the opportunities to influence this generation as a writer and speaker, Shannon remains most passionate about her role as a wife and best friend to her husband of 18 years, Greg, and a mother and cheerleader to their two children, Erin (17) and Matthew (14).

This review is from: Every Young Woman's Battle Workbook: How to Pursue Purity in a Sex-Saturated World (The Every Man Series) (Paperback)

This book is very relevant and current for teens. It is direct and accurate according to the Bible It is sometimes over the top and needs to take into account the reality of living in the real world, but I like that it puts the high standard out there.

This review is from: Every Young Woman's Battle Workbook: How to Pursue Purity in a Sex-Saturated World (The Every Man Series) (Paperback)

Warning to any parents interested in using this book for their child: The Language is VERY frank, there is no beating around the bush, and there is definately no hesitance to use descriptive words when dealing with sexual matters.

This book is just what our generation needs! I was amazed at how, let's just say blunt, the auther was, but also very estatic. Bluntness is what we teens need. A lot of adults don't realize that. I'm glad Shannon Ethridge did!

If it's time for you, as a parent, to have the "talk" with your daughter, I very much suggest using this book. I have told all my distant relations and other men and women that I know, that they NEED to have their daughters read this book! It is a real eye opener, and the best part, if your daughter is struggling with some sort of sexual temptation, this book won't preach at her, only help her overcome her weakness! The book very clearly states, that ALL women face sexual temptation sooner or later, and this book helps teach you the key to overcoming!

I cannot say enough how much this book has helped me, a teenager, alone and I really hope you'll have your daughter read it as well!

This review is from: Every Young Woman's Battle Workbook: How to Pursue Purity in a Sex-Saturated World (The Every Man Series) (Paperback)

A great accompaniment to the book.

The topics and explanation lead to a great discussion.

And all that leads to the Bible and is ultimately Christ centered.
