Any woman looking for hope and courage to stand in her marriage when circumstances might tell her to run, will be empowered by 5 Battle Positions of a HAPPY Wife. Karin is well known for her quiet power. Karin speaks straight from the heart as a loving and protective mother and grandmother, a faithful servant of Christ and loving and loyal wife. Her quiet nature is woven in the gentile expression of these pages. Battle positions were not what I thought of when I first met Karin. I thought of meekness, tenderness, comfort, easy to talk to, great listener, and a soft gentle smile. On the pages of this book I found a new side to Karin. I met a passionate warrior who was willing to stare the enemy in the eyes and stand her ground through God's word. Karin waged war against some of the most vicious attacks any woman could ever endure. She nearly lost her family to addiction, pornography, selfishness and pride. But she decided even when her husband wasn't worth fighting for, her marriage was. She heard God clearly say she needed to stay. In her own words, "I knew God sent Loren to be a gift to me, but when I prayed for God to change him, God said I want to change you." Karin also teaches us a great relationship lesson when things get rough, "I learned to build boundaries and not walls."If you have ever struggled in your own relationships, this book will give you battle positions to fight from. If you know someone who struggles with addiction, whether sexual addiction or not this book will challenge, encourage and empower you to fight through to a victorious end. I have loved family through addiction, sexual identity issues, moral failure and the residue of victimization. I know the strength it takes to love them in the toughest times. I sure wish I had read Karin's book before I faced those times. I sure hope you will read every page now to get you through those times or to get you ready for when they come. Thelma Wells, D.
