AN UPDATE FROM SHANNON

ABOUT THE BOOK (from the back cover)
Guys Aren’t the Only Ones Fighting a Battle for Purity.

The world you live in promotes sex as the answer to just about everything. The pressure to go along with the crowd is greater than ever before, and it’s easy to compromise in little ways that are a lot more harmful than they seem. You and your friends may become caught up in destructive relationships or sexual activities without even knowing how you got there. You just want to be normal–to fit in, to be liked, to look attractive to the opposite sex. But are you paying too high a price?
This counterpart to the award-winning Every Young Man’s Battle can help you:

· learn how the sexual battle begins in your heart and mind
· understand your hunger for attention from guys
· recognize and avoid the potential pitfalls awaiting young women on the journey toward adulthood and possibly marriage
· find out how the media, novels, fashion, internet chat rooms, and body and beauty obsessions influence your sexual choices–and what you can do about it
· guard your mind, heart, and body against sexual and emotional compromise
· develop a deeper, more satisfying level of intimacy with God

Whether you have so far protected yourself emotionally and sexually, feel that you’ve been robbed of your purity, or have given in to temptation in some way, this book can help you achieve or reclaim sexual integrity. It can also guide you through the temptations and pressures of young adulthood while demonstrating how you can live your life to the fullest–without regrets.

ENDORSEMENTS
“I’m so grateful that Shannon decided to be as honest and real as she is—that’s the only way this book could be as powerful as it is. God is going to heal in unbelievable ways through this potent work of art and heart! I can honestly say that this book has changed me—because it gives a clear picture of who Jesus is, who we are as His bride, and why we can’t seem to be satisfied with anything or anyone else.”
–Bethany Dillon, songwriter and recording artist

“Like a steady IV drip, today’s teenage girls get a message of confused and cheapened sexuality. They are desperate for reasons to guard and preserve themselves. Shannon Ethridge gives girls reasons in this relevant and readable book. Every young woman and every young woman’s mother needs to read this book!”
–Sharon Hersh, author of “Mom, I Feel Fat!” and ”Mom, I Hate My Life!”

“A must-read for every teenage girl! Honest and informative, this book is not only highly readable with its true-to-life illustrations, but it’s packed with answers for every sexual situation today’s teens encounter. What a great antidote for the twisted sexual messages our pop-culture continues to dish out. Way to go, Shannon!”
–Melody Carlson, author of Diary of a Teenage Girl series and Torch Red, Color Me Torn

“Shannon writes with a direct, forthright style, yet she remains tactful and kind as she presents her balanced, godly teaching on dating and relationships. Without question, this is a must-read for any young woman who longs to remain pure in her relationship with God, and I suspect this book will very quickly become a staple of small-group studies.”
–Fred Stoeker, coauthor of Every Young Man’s Battle

“This book should be required reading for any teenage girl who has been exposed to the negative influences of the culture through media, music, movies, and fashion magazines. As someone who is in the trenches of ministry to teen girls, I appreciate Shannon’s candid approach and her willingness to tackle some difficult topics facing our young women. She does a beautiful job of exposing the godless issues of the culture, while at the same time, offering godly solutions.”
–Vicki Courtney, founder of Virtuous Reality Ministries and author of Your Girl: Raising A Godly Daughter in an Ungodly World

“This book is awesome! I will be buying it and reading it with teens that I mentor. I wish it had been available to me when I was a teen.”
–Adrienne Freas, homemaker and Campus Crusade for Christ staff member

CELEBRATING GOD'S FAITHFULNESS TO OPEN DOORS

It's been over four years since I began sensing God's prompting to write on the topic of sexual integrity and we stand in awe of what He's been doing behind the scenes since then to maximize our efforts.  Since the beginning, we've literally begged God to open doors to communicate this message to every woman in the world who needs it and is seeking God's truth for her life.  Over the past year, God's been faithful to provide many wonderful opportunities to appear on shows such as The 700 Club, Life Today with James & Betty Robison, and Family Life with Dennis Rainey to talk about Every Woman's Battle.  We are now booking many other wonderful media opportunities to spread the message to younger women about Every YOUNG Woman's Battle, and God has proven Himself faithful beyond our wildest expectations once again.  I've been invited to be a guest on Focus on the Family's Weekend Magazine radio show with Dr. Bill Maier on September 1st in Colorado Springs.  This will just be a taping, then the show will be aired a few weeks later.  I'll keep you posted on the air date, but here's a few other media and speaking opportunities that I'd appreciate you lifting up in prayer:
