A Pastor’s Wife: Conversations with Wives of Men in Ministry is book by pastors’ wives for pastors’ wives, full of practical wisdom and encouragement.
A pastor’s wife—what a name! If you had married a plumber, you would not be known as a plumber’s wife. The wife of a teacher does not receive the special title of “Teacher’s Wife.” Only the wife of a man called to do God’s work is called “pastor’s wife” or “ministry wife.”
Whether we admit it or not, the pastor’s wife plays a vital role in her husband’s ministry. In some cases, she may determine the success or failure of it. But what does that role involve? Are the expectations the church has of her the same as God’s expectations? How can she find her unique calling to ministry and fulfil it? Storms of criticism and doubt may come her way. There will be challenges as she manages her home and raises her children. How can she live each day with Jesus as her Lord and Master?
This is a book for any woman who wants to live to please God in her life, but especially in her role as a pastor’s wife. The authors bring together 138 years of collective wisdom on the topic. They are passionate about their desire to encourage new and future pastors’ wives with biblical principles and real-life examples, giving them direction and hope.
