(side note: don't feel disqualified by the title, it is for the faith filled believer also)The Pastors Wife has a unique role in the church. She wears many hats and is the silent server however if you ask a new PW what her role is she is likely to reply by saying 'I'm not to sure' or by saying 'I'm not really PW material'. She certainly doesn't view herself as an indispensable part of her husband's ministry and that is one of the things this book aims to do. This book was birthed out of the Coronavirus Pandemic. Initially inspired by six Pastor's wives faithfully writing and posting devotions on a WhatsApp group throughout the season of lockdown; the project was extended to many other PW's including missionary and evangelist wives. Included in this book are devotionals and testimonies that are raw, insightful, unusual, deep, heart-breaking, witty, inspiring, uplifting, encouraging, and convicting, but I can assure you, all will leave you with hope and vision.

This has been custom made fom the book and the references appear on every page for ease. The reader has the option of reading the bible in one or two years. There are many aims for this book but the ultimate aim is to cause the reader to fall in love with Jesus and his word more than ever before. Pastor Wayman Mitchel once said 'You can have as much of Jesus as you want' the question to you is 'Are you having the lions share'? The answer to the ministry is not more money, possessions, people, education, bigger car or church building etc... the answer is always Jesus. How is your relationship with God? Is there an area in your life that you are lacking? Do you depend on him? Now is the time to equip yourself with the Word of God and together with these women's personal accounts you will soon come to realise that you are not alone. Prioritise your relationship with God, feel his ministering presence and rest assured that He is with you every day of the year.
