Book Description

ABOUT THE BOOK: Chosen to Be a Minister's Wife provides a candid and enlightening look into the life and ministry of Joyce Rogers, wife of the late Dr. Adrian Rogers. "Being a minister's wife is a calling from God. I was married to Adrian for 54 years before the Lord took Adrian home. We grew closer to God and to each other over those years, but it wasn't always roses. Through Chosen to Be a Minister's Wife, I hope to help mentor the next generation of ministers' wives by sharing my experiences-both joyful and difficult-and the insights the Lord taught me along the way." In Chosen to Be a Minister's Wife, Joyce Rogers shares personal anecdotes and life stories that reveal biblically-based principles for "how to" encourage your minister husband by being a woman of integrity and wisdom; discover your own uniqueness; develop a hunger for greater knowledge, understanding, and love of God's Word; uncover the secret to having the best marriage in the world; make your home ring with laughter; prepare your children for the calling God has on their lives; nurture close friendships, learn to set priorities, and practice godly mentoring. **** ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Joyce Rogers is an author, speaker, and wife of the late Dr. Adrian Rogers, pastor for 32 years of the well-known Bellevue Baptist Church in Memphis, Tennessee, and the three-term president of the Southern Baptist Convention.

Book Description

Every pastor's wife is a faithful servant and leader in her own right. She has great influence on her church, her community, her family, and her husband, and she finds joy in seeing God move in the lives of others. Yet she also faces unique challenges that too often go unnoticed and unaddressed. At times, a pastor's wife may feel she can't talk about her struggles even with those who are closest to her, which can leave her feeling alone, depleted, and misunderstood. She may settle for this way of living, but that's not God's desire for her. Christine Hoover knows firsthand the unique struggles and opportunities afforded a pastor's wife--she's been filling that role for more than 20 years. Coming alongside as an understanding friend, she offers encouragement and guidance to the struggling pastor's wife, showing her how to make meaningful personal relationships with God, her husband, her children, her church community, and other women--relationships that will sustain her and help her thrive.

Book Description

She never expected to be a minister’s wife. And the life she discovered was more challenging—and more beautiful—than she could have anticipated. We all wrestle with tough questions about life and faith, and Karen Stiller has learned that answers don’t come any easier when you’re married to the minister. What does it mean to live faithfully in our complicated world? Is there a place here for me—the real me? What does everyone expect of me, and what if I fail? In The Minister’s Wife, Karen shines a light on the rhythms and tough realities of the spiritual life for each and every one of us. She explores how community helps us grow; the unexpected beauty of doubt; the messy pain of families and funerals; how church can hurt and heal; and the beauty of showing up when sometimes it is more appealing to go to a coffee shop on a Sunday morning (even when you’re the pastor’s wife). Warm, witty, and achingly honest, The Minister’s Wife is a memoir in essays on choosing to belong, and an invitation to join a spiritual adventure.
