Letters to Pastors' Wives: When Seminary Ends and Ministry Begins

Although their calling is joyous, pastors' wives encounter special challenges because of the nature of their husbands' work. These letters from the wives of experienced and well- known pastors provide empathy, wise counsel, and encouragement. 'At last, here is a much-needed guide for pastors' wives penned by seasoned pastors' wives! In preparing future pastors for ministry, my wife Mae and I have always sought to hold special teaching times for seminary wives in our home to address many of the issues that these women of God handle so well in this new P&R book. I believe this is now the standard text for seminary wives as well as those pastoral familiespastor and wifewho should set apart time to revisit the timeless themes. A few years ago, I wrote a song called Thank God for the Pastor's Wife.' After reading this book, I starting singing it again! I commend this wonderful collection of thoughtful and biblical essays to the church with joy and confidence!' Michael A. Milton, fourth Chancellor of Reformed Theological Seminary
