A friend insisted our book group read this one and I honestly thought she was crazy: What do a bunch of nice, happily married Christian ladies need to know about "battling" lust or sexual impurity?? Well, that's not really what the book was about... but it sort of was. Overall it focuses on falling in love with Jesus, being confident knowing that God loves you and created you just the way you are, and practical steps for developing healthy and wonderful sexual and emotional intimacy in your marriage (or future marriage, if you're single). A great, easy read that clips along at a good pace and created TONS of fodder for a great group discussion. I also am confident it would satisfy someone who simply wanted to read it on their own, but it was a great choice for a group. Shannon Etheredge is candid and gives lots of personal examples from her own life. She also shares letters and stories from women she's counselled. Her instruction is backed up by lots of Scripture and practical, down-to-earth advice. Honestly I wish I had read this book about 7 years ago when I was single and struggling as a Christian to stay pure emotionally and sexually in a world that tells you constantly that you are no one if you haven't "done it"! READ THIS BOOK LADIES, and reap blessings in your life.
