Pastors' Wives Tell All : Navigating Real Church Life with Honesty and Humor

With honesty and wit, three pastors' wives talk candidly about the challenges of the role of ministry spouse, helping women set healthy boundaries, manage expectations, interact with church and family, and embrace their unique role with joy and good humor.

In a world that expects near perfection from people in ministry, it is hard to be honest about struggles of being a pastor''s wife or a woman in ministry--let alone have a sense of humor about it! In their popular podcast, Pastors'' Wives Tell All, Jessica Taylor, Stephanie Gilbert, and Jenna Allen create a safe place for pastors'' wives and women in ministry to be their most authentic selves. Now they''re bringing their wit and wisdom to women through the written word.

Addressing topics such as how to smash stereotypes, deal with marital issues, make friends, and overcome parenting anxiety, they remind pastors'' wives (and the people in their congregations) that God doesn''t expect them to be superhuman. They show women how to

· establish and maintain healthy boundaries
· seek wise counsel
· confess their sins and shortcomings aloud
· shed the persona of perfection
· and much more

If you''re a pastor''s wife--by calling, by choice, or by circumstance--you''ll find relief, renewal, and refreshment in the pages of this book.
