Deacon Wives: Fresh Ideas to Encourage Your Husband and the Church

By Diana Davis, Diana Davis, Anonymous

Book Overview

In describing the qualities of a church deacon, the Bible also emphasizes the traits of his companion: "Wives, too, must be worthy of respect, not slanderers, self-controlled, faithful in everything" (1 Timothy 3:11). Yet for all the traditional deacon handbooks, less prevalent are those for a deacon's wife.

This warmhearted, conversational new book from "Fresh Ideas" syndicated columnist Diana Davis shares stories and insights for deacon wives whether just inaugurated or long experienced. The reader will enjoy tips on how to best encourage her husband's work, the ministry of the pastor and his wife, and other church staff and members. There are also helpful home and family suggestions, self-evaluation forms and checklists, and even a detailed teaching plan to share this wealth of material with other women in the church

SUCH a helpful book! 🙌🏼

As a new Deacon's wife, I wanted to make sure that I was fulfilling MY duties as a Deacon's wife, and wanted to make sure I'm supporting my husband as a Deacon, and this book delivered, and then some. Beyond the duties and expectations of a Deacon's wife, this book really encompasses what all women and women leaders in the church should do, and how they should present themselves. There was so much in this book that I hadn't even thought of! I've recommended it to every Deacon wife in my church, and even some who are past Deacon wives! About to read it for a second time as our annual Deacon election rolls around this weekend!
