Product Review
"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 lady who desires true intimacy and sexual integrity."
-CONSTANCE RHODES, author of
Life 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."
-Dr. DAN B. ALLENDER, 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

Product Description
When does an affair begin? Not with the first forbidden touch…but with the first forbidden thought. Unexpectedly, you find yourself enjoying a powerful emotional bond with another man. You feel like you matter to someone again. And the door you thought was locked so firmly–the door to sexual infidelity–is suddenly ajar.
The only way women can survive the intense struggle for sexual integrity is by guarding not just your body, but your mind and heart as well.
Every Woman’s Battle can help you learn to do that. Using real-life stories and examples from her own struggle, Shannon Ethridge helps women like you–whether married, engaged, or planning to marry someday.
Reader ReviewsWhen I browsed through this book, I knew right away that I would easily relate to it. And the more I read, the more I could not put it down. Shannon Etheridge delivers a very straight forward, loving message about bringing our lives under full submission to God's will and desire. Having been caught up in my own struggle, I didn't think anybody else was dealing with the same things I was dealing with. But to read the personal stories that Shannon puts in her book really helped me to stop "beating myself up" and realize that I'm not the only one, and there is a way out. The biggest point that stands out to me is that sexual compromise begins in your mind and/or your heart before it manifests anywhere else in your life. I highly recommend the workbook, just to be able to put your thoughts out there on paper, rather than just bottled up in your mind. If you don't have anybody else to do the workbook with, do it alone. I am doing it that way. I want all I can get to be whole and become the woman I know God designed me to be, and I'm not going to let anything hinder me from that. Regardless of what you have done or what you have been through, God still wants to use you to bring glory to Him. In fact, he tends to pick out those with a "past", and uses them mightily to bring forth testimony of how good He is. I am looking forward to the WHOLE woman that I am on a journey to becoming, and I am thankful for this book, which changed my life, and started the ball rolling for me. P.S. I am a single, never-been-married 26-year old woman. This book is for us, too!
