Letters to Pastors' Wives: When Seminary Ends and Ministry Begins

“This is the first book I have read addressing the full range of experiences in ministry life with the perspective that this is truly a life of privilege and blessing. The letters in this book are filled with wise and compassionate counsel. . . . When you have turned the last page, you will feel—as I did—that all [these women] are now dear friends.”

“Letters to Pastors’ Wives is an exceptional book written by seventeen different pastor’s wives and one pastor’s daughter. The letters are personal, warm, convicting, and engaging. The wives’ use of Scripture shows not only each wife’s maturity but also her love for the Lord and for her husband. I highly recommend this book to all women and especially to pastors’ wives!”

“At last, here is a much–needed guide for pastors’ wives penned by seasoned pastors’ wives! In preparing future pastors for ministry, my wife Mae and I have always sought to hold special teaching times for seminary wives in our home to address many of the issues that these women of God handle so well in this new P&R book. I believe this is now the standard text for seminary wives as well as those pastoral families—pastor and wife—who should set apart time to revisit the timeless themes. A few years ago, I wrote a song called Thank God for the Pastor’s Wife. After reading this book, I starting singing it again! I commend this wonderful collection of thoughtful and biblical essays to the church with joy and confidence!”

“What a privilege to glean wisdom from these women who have served faithfully in the church and in the home as pastors’ wives. I was challenged, encouraged, and refreshed by this insightful and helpful book.”
