Every Single Woman's Battle

Every Single Woman’s Battle: Guarding Your Heart and Mind Against Sexual and Emotional Compromise was an easy to read book about a challenging topic. Best done with a small group, this book tackled a hard subject and Ethridge did not shy away from asking the hard questions. Readers should approach this book with an open mind and a willingness to evaluate their thoughts and actions when it comes to sexual and emotional compromise. A compilation of quotes from Every Woman’s Battle and Every Man’s Battle are included throughout and wisdom is graciously shared. Please be aware that this is a workbook.

Untamed: How the Wild Side of Jesus Frees Us to Live and Love with Abandon by Lisa Harper

In this book, Harper considers the ways in which our Savior is wildly: redemptive, unsettling, devoted, tough, compelling, pro-women, confident, confrontational, unconventional, attentive, faithful, fearsome, and liberating. Whew! What a good read this book was! If you’re ready to be stretched and to have your “normal” view of God expanded, pick up this book. At times I felt that the language used was a little too modern (it seemed like a stretch in an effort to sound cool), but overall I liked the book.

The Waiting Place: Learning to Appreciate Life’s Little Delays by Eileen Button

Eileen Button may be one of the best story tellers I have ever encountered. The way she draws the reader in and creates dynamic, vivid word pictures is astounding. I found myself time and time again feeling like I was there, right in the middle of whatever scene she was describing or the story she was recounting. The Waiting Place covered a variety of “waiting” seasons people often encounter. This book was easy and enjoyable to read and really gave me a lot to think about and contemplate. We’re all waiting for something, aren’t we? I will certainly be recommending this book to my friends.
