National surveys indicate 9 out of 10 women experience some of the 150 symptoms associated with PMS. One third of these sufferers consider their symptoms moderate to severe, and 10% feel sufficiently awful to require medication. Let's face it, hormones can affect everything about a woman: How she feels physically, her moods and emotions, the way she views herself, and the quality of her important relationships. Women want answers and they want help. They want to be educated about how hormones affect their bodies and relationships. Women want suggestions and coping strategies on how to manage the intense emotions that sometimes sweep them over. And women want to feel like they can live godly lives even when hormones threaten to hold them hostage.

In it women will find counsel, practical help, biblical wisdom, and humor. After all, when it comes to hormones, a woman can either laugh or cry... doesn't laughing seem far better?
