Weekly Review

This week I chose to review the book called "Every Single Woman's battle" by Shannon Ethridge.I received this book for free from WaterBrook Multnomah Publishing Group for this review.

When I first looked at this book, I thought that it would be faith more then abstinance. I will be married 6 years in October and remember all the reliious preperation that my hubby and I went through to get marriedin church. I believe that this book should be given to young woman when they are making their confirmation. This boo covers many aspects of being a woman of faith and even though I am not single, I definitely gained pespective on when I was single.
The book is well written and divided into very specific chapters. There are also quotes from the bible, as well as time for understanding the quotes. There were plenty of quotes that I never even knew existed. My favorite quote on page 85 states "bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the lord forgave you. (Colossians 3:13)". If everyone reading this review could forgive one person they are mad at, then I would be so happy to have helped.
What I liked most about this book were the "Planting Good Seeds" sections in every chapter. They gave me an opportunity to reflect on what I was reading and to look to the past as well as to my future. I enjoyed the book being about woman and how we react to certain situations, as well as how we could have reacted differently. I did not like the references to "Every Woman's Battle" and Every Man's Battle". I understand that this is a study guide, but I felt as though I was missing something. I am however glad that all three books were written by the same person. At least I know that excerpts were not taken out of context (at least I hope so). I also was a little sad that Every Man's Battle was referenced, I thought that it should be all about Woman.
All in all I really liked the book and I learned something about myself as a woman, a catholic, and a wife. If I could sum up the book in one quote it would be from page 110 "Father, thank You for creating me to be a beautiful woman, physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. I pray that Your plan will be made perfect in my life. In Jesus's name. Amen".
