Help! I'm Married to My Pastor: Encouragement for Ministry Wives and Those Who Love Them

By Jani Ortlund

Book Overview

Ministry is hard. And every ministry wife needs--and deserves--encouragement.

A woman marries a man, not his ministry. But all too often her husband's calling complicates their life together. What if ministry life isn't what she bargained for? What happens when her children make mistakes? How does she deal with church gossip, or even slander?

As a pastor's wife of almost fifty years, Jani Ortlund addresses these questions, along with many others, as she offers encouragement and guidance to ministry wives. Jani reminds readers that God works out his delightfully good purposes in and through their sacrifices.
