Pastor's Wife Survival Playbook: A Thriving Marriage & Ministry in the Mayhem Paperback

Pastor’s Wife Survival Playbook, wrestles through real ministry life, real ministry issues, and real ministry examples. It’s for all of the pastor’s wives out there who don’t have it all together, who don’t have all the answers, who are a work in progress, but are desiring to grow in their progressive sanctification. It’s an honest, transparent, down-to-earth book that will engage pastor’s wives in the everyday realities of their unique calling.

This book deals with relevant topics not often covered in a seminary class or online curriculum. It’s not a philosophical, ideological, principle-based book that paints broad brush strokes yet leaves the reader wanting the specifics of “how to.” This is grass roots, in the trenches, get dirty with the issues and hold nothing back. Plus, it interjects some fun humor, sass and sarcasm because that’s how the authors roll. Laughter is good, and a cheerful heart is a good medicine.
