If you are a pastor's wife, you are a faithful servant and leader in your own right. You have great influence on your church, community, family, and husband, and you find joy in seeing God move in the lives of others. Yet you also face unique challenges that too often go unnoticed and unaddressed. At times, you may feel you can't talk about your struggles even with those who are closest to you, which can leave you feeling alone, depleted, and misunderstood.
Don't settle for this way of living. It's not God's desire for you.
Christine Hoover knows firsthand the unique struggles and opportunities afforded a pastor's wife--she's been filling that role for more than twenty years. Coming alongside you as an understanding friend, she offers encouragement and guidance, showing how you can make meaningful personal relationships with God, your husband, your children, your church community, and other women--relationships that will sustain you and help you thrive.

"The role of pastor's wife can seem lonely and enigmatic. We are not all alike, but we are all hoping to fulfill a similar calling. Christine writes as one who has been there and is still there. From my tendency toward the savior complex to the complexity of parenting pastor's kids, I found kinship, courage, and wisdom in her words. I encourage every pastor's wife to read this book."--Lauren Chandler, pastor's wife, author, and worship leader
