Every young woman’s battle
Author: Shannon Ethridge and Stephen Arterburn
Publisher: WaterBrook Press

How do you guard your mind, heart and body in a world where sex dominates the advertising industry?
It’s everywhere you look—young women or men displaying their bodies to sell something, whether its shoes, a clothing label, perfumes or more. The list is endless. As a young person, sometimes it can be hard to know where to look, and being a Christian you can face pressure from your peers if they don’t value or respect your beliefs.
This is where the book Every Young Woman’s Battle steps in to help you on your journey in life. It’s written from a Christian perspective, giving you guidance and strength with God.
The aim of the book is to help you in your journey of discovery, whether that be in terms of relationships, sexual feelings, pressure from those around you or how to guard your mind, heart and body. It also deals with important questions, such as “how far do we need to go to protect ourselves?” “are we taking things too far?” and “what is normal in today’s society?” Maybe you are not ready for a relationship or you are confused about whether you are in the right one or what about abusive partners? Every Young Woman’s Battle aims to help provide some answers.
Throughout the book, you’ll find Bible verses to support the issues being written about and questions you should consider in and for your life.
Just in case the guys are feeling left out, there’s no need to. There’s also a book called Every Young Man’s Battle, which is similar to this one.
Shannon Ethridge, who wrote this book, has been involved in various Teen Mania Ministries, church services and college settings. She lives in Texas with her husband, Greg and their two children.
Stephen Arterburn is a founder and chairman of New Life Clinics, creator of Woman of Faith Conferences and has written many books.
In the signed copy of this book I received a scripture reading quoted from Ephesians 3:16-19 which I would like to share: “I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge-that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.”
