Some sections are written to congregations as admonitions and suggestions in regards to their pastor and his family. I appreciated her addressing the unique challenges of living in a parsonage. The was a good section on resignations and terminations. She tactfully discusses difficult ministry hurts. Just to know that it has happened before to others and the varying degrees of severity, was soothing and helpful to me.

I want to commit my life to begin my ministry for the Lord in my home, focusing on meeting the needs of my household. I want to renew my efforts to be a helper to my preacher-husband in his God-assigned task. I want to expect great things from my preacher-husband and attempt great things with him.

If you are a Pastor's Wife looking for a book that gives encouragement and practical help then this book is for you However, if you have already read a extensively from books written for the wives of Pastor's than you may want to skip this book.
