The Perils of A Pastor’s Wife
When pastors and their wives step out in ministry, the perfect storm for spiritual warfare begins, but many are not prepared for the battles. They haven’t entered ministry with an agenda. They have entered with a pure heart wanting only to serve God and His people.
Nan Jones learned to rely on God’s faithfulness when self-righteous pew warmers whispered behind her back. When her knees ached from prayers of protection for her familyand home, she chose to serve God and rest in His love. In The Perils of A Pastor’s Wife, Nan offers a hand to hold, aha moments of healing, and soul-strengthening biblical insight. If you’re a pastor’s wife struggling with your calling, Nan presents a lifeline of hope and encouragement. As a wife and mother, she offers wisdom for the many roles the pastor’s wife plays.
The Perils of a Pastor’s Wife lets you know that somewhere, somehow, someone knows what you are going through.
