RECOMMENDED INTERVIEW QUESTIONS SHANNON ETHRIDGE, AUTHOR OF EVERY YOUNG WOMAN’S BATTLE 1. Many in our audience have heard of the Every Man's Battle book series, which has sold more than one million copies to date. But why a book on sexual integrity for young women? Isn't this a battle young men face more than young women? 2. How did you become an “advocate” for sexual integrity? I hear it had something to do with mortuary college! 3. What questions can a young woman ask herself to determine if she is engaged in a battle for sexual & emotional integrity? 4. What are some of the myths that keep young women unsuccessfully battling for sexual integrity? 5. Proverbs tells us that we must “guard our hearts.” How do you think this relates to sexual integrity, and how does a young woman actually guard her heart? 6. You also write about guarding one’s mind and body. How does this differ from guarding one’s heart? 7. Your book, Every Young Woman’s Battle, not only presents readers with the biblical perspective on sexuality, it also shares real-life stories from other women. Why have women shared these stories with you and your readers? 8. It seems like the media tells young girls that flirting and dressing seductively are necessary to romantic attraction. But you have some words of caution about these two areas. What are they? 9. So what can parents do to help their daughters prepare for this battle? 10. What other books have you written on this topic to help women win the battle for sexual and emotional integrity?
