Book Description
She cringed. Her feet felt like they were engulfed in cement and she couldn't move. Please God, don't let my husband call me up there, she begged, but of course he did. He was the guest preacher and he always called on his wife to help him during altar call. As she walked down the aisle she repented feverishly. Why? Because she was an undercover lesbian, married to a preacher, living a double life, most miserable! Dear God, help me please, she begged. I'm trying to fight these feelings; I have struggled with this all my life. I don't want to pray for these young people, I'm so unworthy. Tears began to slide down her cheeks. It was as if her prayers were void of meaning. When will I ever get free Lord? When will my struggle end? she asked as she laid her hands on a young lady in the prayer line who had come down to get saved.

Although most evangelical traditions bar women from ordained ministry, many women have carved out unofficial positions of power in their husbands' spiritual empires or their own ministries. The biggest stars write bestselling books, grab high ratings on Christian television, and even preach.

And black celebrity preachers' wives carry a special burden of respectability. A compelling account of women's search for spiritual authority in the age of celebrity. -- adapted from jacket

Author: Christine Hoover
Publisher: Baker Books
ISBN: 1493434039
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 326
Book Description
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.

The Double Life of a Minister’s Wife
Author: Stefanie Degraftenreed-Hall
Publisher: Xlibris Corporation
ISBN: 1984522671
Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 148
Book Description
The Double Life of a Minister’s Wife inspired me to face my trials and to keep God first in my life all the time. My influence on people is uplifting to me. And even when they try to derail me, I don’t let anybody dictate who I am, what I should be in life, or what they want me to do. I have done a lot of things that a real overprotective mother, wife, daughter, and saint would do—maybe not in that exact order. I am who I am, and what God has for me is for me. Nobody can tell me differently or lead me to believe otherwise. So I tilt my hat to each and every one who took the time out to and read and be a part of my testimonies and my life story that I have shared. There is a story that must be told and a novel that must be read, and I know that you enjoyed being fed. Remember, if you doubt yourself, then how can you relay your message to help the next fellow man or woman? Be blessed and look for book number 4 and many more to follow, even a movie. It’s all about the God in me! This is a short story of a woman wanting to be loved but didn’t know that she was in a relationship with the devil himself. Certain people will do whatever it takes to get a person, but when you succeed, then you get too comfortable in a web of deceit and betrayal, headed for derailment. I was blinded by the flesh instead of obeying my heavenly Father’s commandment and seeking God first. I was so hungry for love and was tired of the backstabbing and continuous betrayal of past relationships that I trusted and believed this man that was sent to destroy and confuse my mind and to make me switch sides. This evil person did everything up under the table and had me so blinded that all his lies were the ties between the sweet and the bitter, which made me be more scornful and made me wish I was never born!

Pastor's wife, Kirstie Donovan, lives life in a fishbowl, so when she hops on the back of a bright pink motorcycle, tongues start to wag at the conservative, century-old First Independent Christian Community Church of Eels Falls. Kirstie loves roaring down a road less traveled by most women over forty, but she's not just riding her bike for the fun of it. Kirstie has a ministry. However, certain church members have secrets to hide, and when God uses Kirstie's ministry to fill the pews with leather-clad, tattooed bikers, those secrets could be exposed... and some will stop at nothing to hide the truth. Join Kirstie and her motorcycle "gang"—two church matrons and a mouthy, gum-smacking non-church member—as they discover that road-toughened bikers are quite capable of ministering to others, and faith is fortified in the most unexpected ways.

Lorna Dobson knows firsthand the struggles and joys of being married to a pastor—and the questions, not the least of which is, “What is a ‘pastor's wife,’ anyway?” As her poll of hundreds of women reveals, the wife of a minister is rarely the piano-playing, committee-leading stereotype.With humor, disarming genuineness, personal stories, and wisdom rooted in Scripture, Dobson cuts through the labels. “How I live has little to do with whether my husband is a pastor; rather, my life reflects my growth, or lack of it, as a Christian.” In this revised edition of I’m More Than the Pastor’s Wife, she includes new perspectives as a grandparent, soon-to-be empty-nester, and speaker. Here are frontline insights on·Making friends and cultivating personal support outside the church·Learning to handle expectations and pressures·Balancing time and using your gifts·Supporting your husband and growing closer to him·Prioritizing prayer for your husband, family, and church·Knowing your capabilities and limits·Dealing with “problem people” and church conflicts . . . and much more!
