Synopsis Letters to Pastors' Wives by : Meredith R Sheppard
This book consists of letters I wish I had received when I was a new pastor's wife. They are the words, wisdom, short stories, and lessons learned on-the-job and on my knees. Although written expressly for pastors' wives, these letters also hold great benefit for all women of faith. The letters are divided into five sections. At First Glance covers how we're seen and how we often see ourselves. Upon Closer Inspection deals with the duties and dilemmas of ministry life. Up Close and Personal takes an honest look within and highlights personal growth while serving others. The Journey Continues offers hope while fighting the "good fight of faith." And Jesus is the Reason for the Season shares how to honor God during the holidays, along with a sweet surprise at the end. Instead of lamenting my lack, I wrote letters with you in mind. It continues to be my hope and prayer that through them you are encouraged, enlightened, and eternally convinced that you're not alone! Meredith Sheppard's encouragement letter, Wives In Touch, now in print! Meredith and I were married eight weeks after I became the assistant pastor of our home congregation in Philadelphia. Think about all the women you know. How many of them would choose to become a pastor's wife? Probably few, if any at all! But Meredith is no ordinary woman. As a youngster, she fell in love with Jesus and wanted to do His will, no matter the cost. And years later, when she accepted my proposal of marriage, she committed to being the best companion a servant of God could ask for. Fortunately for me, she has always lived up to that commitment. The letters contained in this book are rich with insights, candor, loving guidance, and encouragement. Meredith's heart desires to strengthen the hands and hope of pastors' wives everywhere. May that desire be fulfilled in your life as you read and apply the wisdom shared herein. Pastor Paul E. Sheppard

Synopsis Paul, Women, and Wives by : Craig S. Keener
Paul's letters stand at the center of the dispute over women, the church, and the home, with each side championing passages from the Apostle. Now, in a challenging new attempt to wrestle with these thorny texts, Craig Keener delves as deeply into the world of Paul and the apostles as anyone thus far. Acknowledging that we must take the biblical text seriously, and recognizing that Paul's letters arose in a specific time and place for a specific purpose, Keener mines the historical, lexical, cultural, and exegetical details behind Paul's words about women in the home and ministry to give us one of the most insightful expositions of the key Pauline passages in years.

Synopsis Help! I'm Married to My Pastor by : Jani Ortlund
Ministry is hard. And every ministry wife needs—and deserves—encouragement. A woman marries a man, not his ministry. But all too often her husband's calling complicates their life together. What if ministry life isn't what she bargained for? What happens when her children make mistakes? How does she deal with church gossip, or even slander? As a pastor's wife of almost fifty years, Jani Ortlund addresses these questions, along with many others, as she offers encouragement and guidance to ministry wives. Jani reminds readers that God works out his delightfully good purposes in and through their sacrifices.

Synopsis How to Thrive as a Pastor's Wife by : Christine Hoover
Every pastor's wife is a faithful servant and leader in her own right. She has great influence on her church, her community, her family, and her husband, and she finds joy in seeing God move in the lives of others. Yet she also faces unique challenges that too often go unnoticed and unaddressed. At times, a pastor's wife may feel she can't talk about her struggles even with those who are closest to her, which can leave her feeling alone, depleted, and misunderstood. She may settle for this way of living, but that's not God's desire for her. Christine Hoover knows firsthand the unique struggles and opportunities afforded a pastor's wife--she's been filling that role for more than 20 years. Coming alongside as an understanding friend, she offers encouragement and guidance to the struggling pastor's wife, showing her how to make meaningful personal relationships with God, her husband, her children, her church community, and other women--relationships that will sustain her and help her thrive.

Synopsis Black and White Bible, Black and Blue Wife by : Ruth A. Tucker
Ruth Tucker recounts a harrowing story of abuse at the hands of her husband—a well-educated, charming preacher no less—in hope that her story would help other women caught in a cycle of domestic violence and offer a balanced biblical approach to counter such abuse for pastors and counselors. Weaving together her shocking story, stories of other women, and powerful stories of husbands who truly have demonstrated Christ’s love to their wives, with reflection on biblical, theological, historical, and contemporary issues surrounding domestic violence, she makes a compelling case for mutuality in marriage and helps women and men become more aware of potential dangers in a doctrine of male headship.
