'Nothing in my life goes untouched by my husband's calling.' Christine Hoover's words in the first chapter describe so well the life of a church planter's wife, which is enormously difficult yet extraordinarily rewarding. To be married to a church planter is a calling all its own with richness all its own.

In The Church Planting Wife, Hoover explores and encourages the hearts of her readers and teaches what it means to have heart prepared for this unique ministry. Being the wife of a church planter, she knows well the highs and lows, the glories and despairs. Christine speaks with clarity and poignancy to the reader about what it looks like to be part of the church planting ministry and to grow a heart that wholly reflects Jesus.

Using stories and interviews from numerous church planting wives, Christine Hoover empathetically and pointedly uplifts the reader and offer lessons of hope in the midst of a challenging ministry.
