Reviews

"Having served alongside Ashley Chesnut for years in the church, I have seen her help so many women experience abundant life in relationship with Jesus. That's why I am so glad Ashley has written this book that addresses critical topics we rarely talk about in the church with biblical precision, personal compassion, and practical application. I commend this book with confidence that you will be served, encouraged, comforted, equipped, helped, and cared for in ways you don't even realize you need." David Platt, Lead Pastor at McLean Bible Church, Founder of Radical
"For many women in the church carrying the burden, shame, confusion, and battle of sexual sin, this book will be a light in the darkness leading them straight to Christ. I praise God for Ashley's willingness and obedience to do the hard work and write It's Not Just You. Ashley writes through a biblical, gospel lens, giving a deeper understanding to the roots of sexual sin struggles as well as hope and tangible wisdom leading women towards freedom that is found in Jesus." Gretchen Saffles, Author of The Well-Watered Woman: Rooted in Truth, Growing in Grace, Flourishing in Faith, Founder of Well-Watered Women
"You may not hear many sermons on the topic of sexual sin, but don't be fooled. The problems and struggles women face on this subject are sitting in your pews every Sunday. Ministry leaders need to set aside their fear of talking about sex and begin conversations that could transform lives. Ashley's book is a good place to start and a good resource for your leadership library. Not only will you learn a biblical approach to address sexual sin, but you'll be equipped to meet with women where they are and help them find biblical truths that will set them free." Kelly King, Manager of Magazines/Devotional Publishing and Women's Ministry Training at Lifeway Christian Resources
"Books written by men and for men on purity and sexual sin abound, but where do women turn when they suffer from sexual brokenness? The answer is a deafening silence. It's Not Just You addresses sexual sin and brokenness with compassion, clarity, and conviction. Ashley tackles the most pressing issues of female sexuality with a refreshing directness that is matched by her tenderness and grace. You'll want to read this book because the Gospel is on every page. You'll grow from reading this book, not just in the area of understanding God-given sexuality, but in knowing how to live a life of surrender to Christ." Dr. Tate Cockrell, the Associate Professor of Counseling & Director of DMin Studies at Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary
