Maximize the sexual and emotional potential in your marriage! With down-to-earth wisdom based on the experiences of the thousands of women she's counseled, Shannon Ethridge-author of the million-plus-selling "Every Woman's Battle" series-shows women how to create the healthy, exhilarating sex lives they (and their husbands) desire.
Every woman deserves to enjoy great sex with her husband, without inhibition or shame. But many wives live with the burden of self-doubt or feel mystified about what men really want in bed. Others wrestle with memories of sexual abuse or neglect, guilt over past intimate relationships, or negative feelings about their own bodies. Maybe you've been thinking you were alone in your struggle to discover sexual fulfillment. Think again:
only 8 percent of married women consider their sex life "very hot"
21 percent call their sex life "routine and boring"
Another 21 percent ask, "What sex life?"
These sorry statistics don't have to be your case, as Shannon Ethridge readily explains with arresting warmth and honesty. Brimming with confidence-boosting techniques and inspiring personal stories of rejuvenated relationships, "The Sexually Confident Wife" opens a new world of passion for every couple, helping women to connect with their men on every level-physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual-enabling them to fully enjoy the ultimate, enduring union that marriage can be.

Julia Whittaker's rocky past yielded two daughters, both given up for adoption as infants. Now she must find them to try to save her son.

Julia and Matt Whittaker's son has beaten the odds for thirteen years only to have the odds--and his liver--crash precipitously. The only hope for his survival is a "living liver" transplant, but the transplant list is long and Dillon's time is short. His two older half-sisters, born eighteen months apart to two different fathers, offer his only hope for survival.

But can Julia ask a young woman--someone she surrendered to strangers long ago and has never spoken with--to make such a sacrifice to save a brother she's never known? Can she muster the courage to journey back into a shame-filled season of her life, face her choices and their consequences, and find any hope of healing?

And what if she discovers in her own daughters' lives that a history of foolish choices threatens to repeat itself? Julia knows she's probably embarking on a fool's errand--searching for the daughters she abandoned only now that she needs something from them. But love compels Julia to take this journey. Can grace and forgiveness compel her daughters to join her?

In To Know You, Shannon Ethridge and Kathryn Mackel explore how the past creates the present . . . and how even the most shattered lives can be redeemed.

Las fantasias sexuales y emocionales tienden a revelar ciertas areas de trauma, quebrantamiento y desilusion que aun necesitan ser sanadas.

Muchas personas, cristianas incluidas, ven sus fantasias sexuales y emocionales como un mapa de ruta hacia donde pueden encontrar la satisfaccion que anhelan. Sin embargo, esas fantasias no son un mapa de ruta confiable hacia el futuro; son realmente un mapa de ruta pedregoso e inestable del pasado.

Shannon Ethridge, escritora cristiana de exitos de ventas, coach personal y defensora de una sexualidad sana, ofrece perspectivas fascinantes sobre pensamientos sexuales comunes, como: salir con un hombre mucho mas mayor o una mujer mucho mas joven conectar con desconocidos via ciberespaciofantasias gay y lesbianasfascinacion por el placer, el dolor y el poder

Introducido en Genesis, el diseno de Dios para el sexo, mas alla de la procreacion, es para ofrecer conexion y placer para parejas casadas. Pero tambien en Genesis hay un bosquejo de siete falacias sexuales que causan discordia, dolor y quebrantamiento. "La falacia de Grey" ayuda a explicar la base de esas falacias y ofrece sugerencias para ayudar a sacar a la luz no solo el significado que hay detras de ellas sino tambien maneras de hacerles frente, sanarlas y encontrar libertad fisica, emocional y espiritual.

Erotica has invaded more than our minds - it has exploded onto our bestseller lists and into our bedrooms.
Many are looking to sexual and emotional fantasies as avenues to fulfillment.
Our fantasies, however, are not reliable guides into the future--they are actually rocky road maps from our past. Best-selling author Shannon Ethridge theorizes, "Fantasies are simply the brain's way of trying to heal itself from unresolved tragedies and traumas. We mentally compartmentalize our pain to make room for pleasure."
Fantasies have deep psychological roots, and if acted on many of them can do deep psychological damage. Rather than let fantasies rule us, let's take out the sting and bring them under God's rule, allowing the Lord to heal us from the brokenness and insecurities that cause inappropriate fantasies to haunt us.
Without being judgmental or condemning, Shannon helps us dissect several common and often-disturbing topics, such as:
- a distorted fascination with pornography
- the mental pursuit of multiple partners
- the lure of gay and lesbian desires
- bondage, domination, and sadomasochism (BDSM)
With tips for controlling unwanted fantasies and resources for providing a safe haven for recovery, "The Fantasy Fallacy" helps us recognize and heal our emotional pain and equips us to help others do the same.
