What No one Tells The Pastor's Wife

Often pastors’ wives are unprepared for the dynamics they encounter when they enter the ministry. On the surface and from distant observation, it seems as though the pastor’s wife faces the normal, everyday challenges of any other professional woman. Onlookers consider her fortunate, especially since they perceive that beside her stands a man who’s serious about his salvation and ready to deluge her with prayers.

That is what this book is all about.
